Muscle Fiber, Connective Tissue and Meat Quality Characteristics of Pork from Low Birth Weight Pigs as Affected by Diet-Induced Increased Fat Absorption and Preferential Muscle Marbling.

HCWs were not different between the treatments, with the difference between the normal (NBW-HF) pigs and the low (LBW-HFHD) birth weight pigs approaching significance (p=0.0615).

The NBW-HF pigs had heavier mean live weights than the LBW-HF and LBW-HFHD pigs up to 4 weeks of age, but by 6 weeks of age, mean live weights across the treatments were no longer different (p>0.05). From 6 to 12 weeks, the difference in live weight between NBW-HF and LBW-HFHD pigs approached significance at 8, 9, 10 and 12 weeks (0.05<p0.1; Table 1 ).
