The effect of protein restriction during the growing period on carcass, meat and fat quality of heavy barrows and gilts 2016 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Nutritional strategies are being researched in pigs to increase fatness and then to improve quality of dry-cured products. A total of 160 Duroc × (Landrace × Large White) pigs, 50% barrows and 50% gilts, were used in a trial. During the growing period (73-118. d of age), four feeds were formulated with decreasing levels of crude protein (CP; 21.6, 17.7, 14.7 and 13.5%) to achieve 1.10, 0.91, 0.78 and 0.52% of total Lysine, respectively. From 118. d until slaughter, at 123. kg (183, 181, 178 or 192. d of age, respectively), a common diet was provided (17.7% CP and 0.91% Lysine). Barrows had fatter carcasses than gilts but intramuscular fat (IMF) proportion was similar for both. Dietary CP restriction promoted wider backfat depth and pork with higher IMF percentage which was more monounsaturated and less polyunsaturated. We conclude that CP restriction during the grower period improves desirable carcass and meat traits in barrows and gilts intended for dry-cured products. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/OTRI-2010/0397 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICYT/CDTI/20090836 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 3.126 2016 FOOD SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 19 / 129 = 0.147 2016 Q1 T1 1.792 2016 Food Science 2016 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-3005-2675 Latorre, M.A. Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9463-0753 Guada, J.A.
