## Abstract Long‐term application of recombinat porcine somatotropin to pigs induced a decrease in fat deposition and a reduction in percentage fat in backfat and intramuscular fat. The proportion of poly‐unsaturated fatty acids especially of C18:2 increased. Lower thickness and higher water conten

The influence of genotype, pST and stress reactivity on carcass composition, meat and fat quality was investigated in 57 growingfinishing pigs. Pietrain pigs contained more meat and less fat in carcass in comparison to Schwerfurter breed. Exogenous pST improved the carcass composition with regard to
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** This experiment examined the influence of different amino acid levels during the growing and early finishing diet and the late finishing diet on growth performance and carcass quality of a lean meat type gilt. In a two by two factorial trial, 96 gilts were divided over f
