چکیده

In 40 Polish Landrace, 38 Polish Large White and 14 Pietrain fatteners the longissimus lumborum (LL) muscle fibres were characterized and LL quality indicators determined. The correlation was estimated between the LL fibres traits and daily live weight gain, muscle pH and texture parametres. Muscle fibres were identified as I, IIA and IIB types based upon their dehydrogenase (NADH) activity. The daily live weight gain of fatteners and their muscle pH45, pH24, Warner-Bratzler shear force and texture properties were determined. Breed was found related neither to meat quality traits, nor fibre type per cent and fibre relative area, but it affected the size of fibres. The LL from Pietrain fatteners had larger diameter of fibres within each fibre type compared to fatteners of remaining two breeds (P≤0.01). The phenotypic correlations between histological and physico-chemical traits were generally low. The content (%) and relative area of type IIB fibres, unlike those of type I, positively correlated with daily live weight gain (P≤0.01). Moreover, increase in the daily live weight gain was related to increased size of type IIB fibres. Shear force was negatively related to type IIA muscle fibre size. A similar tendency was found between pH24 and diameter of type IIA fibres.

Differences in muscle fibre composition and tenderness of m. longissimus lumborum between heterozygous and homozygous negative Polish Landrace pigs for the RYR1

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of RYR1 genotype on muscle fibre traits and meat tenderness of m. longissimus lumborum in fatteners. The study was carried out on 16 heterozygous Nn and 24 RYR1-free NN Polish Landrace gilts. Muscle samples were taken to categorize muscle fibre types (I, IIA and IIB) according to their mATP-ase activity and to determine the following tec...
