Forty-eight female pigs were used to determine tissue growth curves after slaughter of the animals at 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120 kg and dissection of the carcasses. The lean cuts in carcass were made according to that used by Brazilian pork slaughters. In each cut it were separated muscle, fat, bone and skin amounts. The expanded allometric function was used to estimate and to fit the growth curves. The muscle amounts in carcass increased to 41.9% […]
