On the relative growth and development of various breeds and crosses of pigs

Abstract: Few reliable figures (1) exist at the present time which show the relative qualities of the various British breeds of pigs in respect of their ability to put on weight and the relative proportions of meat and offal in the carcases. Weights and carcase percentages of German breeds have been published by the German Agricultural Society (2).

“…one of the reasons why the bacon percentage increases with increase in the live weight is that the proportion of the offals (pluck, stomach, intestines, etc.) become less as the pig increases in weight (see Hammond (6) Bacon side weight (lb.) Table I) show a decrease from 22-3 per cent at 139 lb.…”

“…The earlier set of figures need no comment in this regard. That the faeces passed should on an average be a less percentage of live weight in fasting for a definite period in the case of a larger animal is reasonable in view of the smaller proportion that the intestines make of the whole (6), and that the net percentage loss should also be less in the larger animal follows from the surface law.…”
