Description
Chul Young Lee and co-authors test heavier slaughter weights and a low-lysine diet for pig meat quality in this 2024 study. Better meat from finishing female pigs might come from letting them grow far heavier than usual. The team compared standard and extra-high weights, and a standard diet against one low in the amino acid lysine.
Thirty-two pigs were split into four groups by sex, weight, and diet. Daily gain did not differ between the two heavy groups. Heavy gilts had thicker backfat and firmer, lower-pH loin meat than standard gilts. Fat makeup shifted with diet ingredients. Tasters rated the heavy gilts' fresh loin texture higher, and cooked juiciness and umami also scored better.
