Determination and prediction of the meat content of pigs with the use of mathematical models
The article presents the analysis of the influence of the square «muscle of the eye», for loin (lower back) on meat yield in the carcass. At the targeted breeding of pigs for meat quality, developed on the basis of regression equations, the influence of carcass yield and percentage of lean meat on the quantity of muscle tissue at slaughter carcasses of young pigs. This allows to predict in individual parameters of the meat content of carcasses and improve meat productivity of pigs of different genotypes on the basis of mathematical calculations.
