Comparison of muscle fibre characteristics and production traits among offspring from Meishan dams mated to different sires

Abstract: This study evaluated how various porcine sires affected muscle fibre characteristics, with respect to production traits. Sires from Berkshire, Duroc, Meishan, and Yorkshire pigs were mated to Meishan dams (BM, DM, MM, and YM offspring, respectively). A total of 96 pigs were evaluated for muscle fibre characteristics and production traits. The progeny from Duroc and Yorkshire sires had the greatest number of total fibres (P<0.05) and exhibited less backfat thickness (P<0.001) and larger loin muscle areas (P<0.… Show more

“…Muscle fibre numbers are fixed before birth and fibre formation ceases at approximately 85-90 days of gestation. However, the diameter of muscle fibre increases with the growth and development (Kyu-Sang Lim et al 2009). Skeletal muscle growth and regeneration in postnatal animals largely depend on the activation of SCs.…”
