Abstract
A triple cross pig variety (Ghungroo x Hampshire x Duroc G25H25D50) was developed as a fattener pig. Pure parental lines of Hampshire and Duroc (male) and Ghungroo (female) pigs were used as exotic and indigenous germplasm respectively. A total of 14 gilts and 20 barrows from triple cross pigs were slaughtered at the age of 10 months for evaluating the different parameters. Carcass traits indicated a meat: bone ratio of 2.95 and fat: lean ratio of 0.17 for this pig variety. The carcass length ranged from 61.5 cm “ 93 cm while that of the loin eye area varied from 1.30 in2 “ 5.50 in2 . Back fat thickness at three-quarters of the length of the transverse section of the exposed M. longissimus thoracis et lumborum between the 10th and 11th ribs was in the range of 0.7 cm “ 2.25 cm. Moisture: protein ratio varied from 3.20 to 3.39 and no significant (P0.05) difference was observed between gilts and barrows. The cholesterol content in M. longissimus thoracis et lumborum varied from 47.83 mg/100g “ 71.19 mg/100g with an average of 59.70 mg/ 100g.
