abstract = "The study included 201 offspring (108 castrated males and 93
females) of Landrace (L), Large White (LW) and Pietrain (P) sires. The studied
animals were of following genotype: Landrace (L; n = 48); two breed crosses with
50:50 share of parental breeds (LWxL, n=32; and PxL, n=23), two breed crosses
with 75% of paternal breed [Lx(♀LWxL), n=35] and [LWx(♀LxWL) n=38] and
three breed crosses [Px(♀LWxL) n=25]. Animals included in this study were born
during four seasons: winter (n=38), spring (n=65), summer (n=40) and autumn
(n=58). Studies have shown that, at an average weight of warm carcass side of
81.20 kg, the highest average values for the weight of round (RW; 10.204 kg), the
weight of intermuscular fatty tissue (RINT; 0.478 kg), bone tissue (RBT; 0.850 kg)
and muscle tissue (RMT, 7.552 kg) in the round, were established in three-breed
crosses of Px (LWxL) genotype compared to other genotypes. The least skin and
subcutaneous fatty tissue (RST; 1.269 kg) was recorded in two breed crosses PxL.
They had less skin and subcutaneous fatty tissue by 454 g and 467 grams,
respectively, compared to two breed crosses (LWxL) and LWx (♀LxLW).
Research has shown that there is a genotype on a farm that gives more muscle
tissue in the round by 1.521 kg [Px (♀LWxL): LWx (♀LWxL)] with the same
weight of warm carcass side, which is a very large difference. With the same
average weight of warm carcass side, female animals had higher average weight of
the round and yield of muscle tissue compared to male castrated animals. The
effect of genotype (P<0.001) on all investigated traits was recorded, also the effect
of the season of birth on the skin and subcutaneous fat tissue and on the weight of intermuscular fat in the round was recorded. The effect of sex/gender was significant (P<0.01) on the weight of skin and subcutaneous fat and on the weight of the muscle tissues in the round but no significant effect on other tested properties (P> 0.05) was observed.",
