Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the quality of meat from pigs housed on litter and in litterless pens and fed during the fattening period (from 48 kg to 105 kg bw) complete diets and complete diets supplemented with green forage. Hybrid growing-finishing pigs [ ( Polish Landrace x Polish Large White) x ( Pietrain x Duroc)] were divided into 4 experimental groups, each of 12 animals. M. longissimus dorsi samples were collected from pig carcasses for an analysis of proximate chemical composition and physicochemical properties. It was found that the applied feeding and housing conditions had no significant effect on the chemical composition and quality of pork (m. longissimus dorsi).
