It has been demonstrated that for the carcass parts of
ham and loin, in the terms of muscle fibers characteristic
and monitored growth intensity, the animals with lowest
values of muscle fiber qualitative parameters (area)
showed the lowest average daily gain and the lowest daily
feed consumption. In terms of the feed conversion no
general trend could be demonstrated. Regarding the
number of muscle fibers there was no significant trend
found in relation to the monitored fattening performance
indicators.
