Extract

Responses in muscle fibre characteristics of pigs, due to selection for lean growth, would be of concern to the pig breeding industry, if there were also associated changes in meat and eating quality. The present study evaluated the responses in muscle fibre characteristics to selection for components of efficient lean growth.
