Qualitative-feed-restricted heavy swine: meat quality and morpho-histochemical characteristics of muscle fibers

To evaluate the effect of different levels of qualitative feed restriction (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%) on pork quality and muscle morpho-histochemical characteristics, 60 castrated male swines were used. Ten animals were slaughtered at 89 kg BW. Other 50 pigs were fed experimental diets and slaughtered a...
