The effects of the introduction of betafine on the slaughter results of the fattening pigs

Abstract

Effects of the use of additive Betafine on the slaughter results of the fattening pigs were investigated. Obtained results showed that the introduction of Betafine in the concentration of 0.1% in the diets had the effect on the length of carcasses and dressing percentage of the pigs. The nutrition of pigs with diets based on the Betafine resulted in increased meat content by 1.3% in the carcasses. No positive effect of the use of investigated additive on the share of the main parts in pig carcasses was established. Positive effect of the introduction of Batafine showed the increase of the meat content in the the blade stick with neck and in the area of Longissimus dorsi (MLD). Generally we recommend the use of additive Betafine in the nutrition of fattening pigs, because it has showed positive effects on meatiness and the meat content in the area of Muscullus longissimus dorsi.
