This study was conducted to develop new crossbred pig using Korean native pig and Duroc. Fifteen pigs of pure Duroc (D) and 26 crossbred gilts (15 of DK1 and 11 of DK2) were reared until 195 ± 5 days old, then slaughtered at local slaughterhouse. Pork loin was gathered and vacuum packed from left carcass after 24 h of slaughter to analyze meat quality traits, such as color, pH, water holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss and shear force (SF), and free fatty acid composition. Live weight and carcass weight of Duroc and DK1 were 119.1±8.7 / 82.91±6.1kg and 116.3±6.3 / 80.91±4.4 kg, respectively, and it was significantly higher than those of DK2 (104.7±8.4 / 71.36±5.7 kg) (p<0.05).There was no significant difference in proximate composition between animal groups, however DK2 showed significantly lower shear force (SF) and higher water holding capacity (WHC) than other groups (p<0.05). The redness of DK2 also showed significantly higher than Duroc (p<0.05), however there was no significant difference in lightness and yellowness (p>0.05). DK1 showed the highest monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) contents of 51.45±2.0% and DK2 showed the highest polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) contents of 8.98±1.4%, however there was no significantly difference in PUFA/SFA ratio between pig groups (p>0.05). Duroc and DK2 contain significantly higher amount of linoleic (7.99±1.2 and 8.11±1.3%, respectively) and linolenic acid (0.43±0.1 and 0.44±0.1%, respectively) than DK1, and DK1 contains significantly higher amount of oleic acid (47.32±1.8%) than others (p<0.05).

: This study was conducted to estimate the effect of sex, breed and on the basis of the records on 300 pigs of Duroc, Landrace and Yorkshire breeds raised at the National Institute of Animal Science. Yorkshire was observed to be superior to other breeds between 90 to 110 kg of body weight. Thicker backfat was estimated in the B-mode than in A-mode of 110 kgs range than in 90 kgs. Loin eye muscle area was larger in the final weight of 110㎏ than in 90 and the Duroc had significantly (p<0.05) larger loin eye muscle area than other breeds. Thinner backfat was observed in males than in females in both modes of backfat measurements and in both of the final weights of test. Females had significantly larger loin eye muscle area than males, and the difference between the two sexes were larger in the final weight of 110 kg than in 90 kg. Analysis models concluded that backfat thickness certainly influences the body weight gain when at 90 kgs and 110 kgs analysed with A-mode and B-mode respectively.
