ABSTRACT


The studies were carried out on 126 hybrid porkers from crossing sows Camborough22 and PIC337 boars. The taken up study aimed at determining the T3469C and G2728A polymorphism at the leptin gene (LEP) as well as establishing an association with the quality of carcass and meat in PIC hybrid fatteners that are free from stress susceptibility gene (RYR1T). Basing on the carried out study, a higher frequency of allele G (0.976) and a lower one of allele A (0.024) at locus G2728A was showed. Genotype distribution was as follows: GG (0.960), GA (0.032), and AA (0.008). On the other hand, occurrence of different alleles at locus T3469C was not found. All tested pigs were characterised by genotype TT. Fatteners with genotypes GG G2728A and TT T3469C were characterised mean percent carcass meatiness amounted almost 57%, out of which 73.5% were classified into class S and E of the EUROP system. The
analysis quality of their meat showed since 85.1% carcasses of normal meat, while participation of the PSE type meat amounted to 4.8% only, keeping at the same time optimum intramuscular fat content. Also, a more favourable slaughter value of gilt carcasses in relation to barrows was confirmed, with similar carcass weight, meat quality and its basic chemical composition.

Key words: pigs, LEP and RYR1 gene, carcass and meat quality.
