Abstract:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of muscle-fibre types and hormones on glycolytic potential and meat quality traits and their association with glycolytic-related gene expression in three different altitude pig breeds. The pig breeds studied were the Tibetan pig (TP, high altitude), the Liang-Shan pig (LSP, middle altitude) and the Duroc×(Landrace×Yorkshire) cross (DLY, flatland). The results indicated that TP and LSP had better meat quality than DLY (P<0.01). The glycolytic potential (GP) increased in the order of TP
