Comparative analysis of reproduction, fattening, and slaughter values of selected hybrid swine breeds

The reproduction and fattening performance, as well as fleshiness of PL x PLW x D and PIC line hybrids were subject to evaluation. It was found that from PIC sows more piglets per litter were weaned as compared to PL x PLW hybrid sows. Hybrid offspring born were characterized by higher daily gains, which affected the piglet's live weight on 28th day and fattener's live weight on 170th fattening day. Considering the meatiness, hybrids after Camborough 46 sows mated with PIC 408 boar appeared to be the best.
