3.3. Meat quality and TG content of LT muscle in offspring pigs
At the weaning stage, the TG content, pH24, drip loss and L* showed no significant differences, but the a* (P=0.03) and b*(Pb0.01) values were higher in the LT muscle of HF group offspring (Table 4). At the finishing stage, the pH24 (Pb0.01) was significantly elevated, but the b* value (Pb0.01) was significantly lower in the HF offspring. The TG content and drip loss of the LT muscle at the finishing stage showed no obvious changes.
