Abstract

The effectiveness of the prediction equation of the pork carcasses quality in different places was checked. One hundred carcasses of different producers and commercial crossings were evaluated. Statistical techniques to determine the correlation between the values obtained from equation and experimental dissection was applied to prove the effectiveness also a test of comparison of the difference of average was carried out. The prediction equation evaluated in the slaughterhouses was effective to predict the main characteristic of quality: the lean meat percentage. The analysis of the corporal composition of the pigs verified that the better range of sacrifice weight to obtain the better carcasses quality for the industry was between 85 and 100 kg.
