It is reported that 90kg body weight growth fat has a carcass lean rate of 66.9%, a daily gain of 700g, and a feed efficiency of 2.65. The growth rate of commercial pigs decreased significantly after 90kg. Petland pigs have a severe stress response, and about 50% of pigs have halothane recessive genes. It is easy to appear gray meat after crossing with purebred Petrand as male parent.

The growth rate of commercial pigs decreased significantly after 90kg. Petland pigs have a severe stress response, and about 50% of pigs have halothane recessive genes. After crossing with purebred Petrand as male parent, gray meat (PSE meat) is easy to appear. Pettland can be crossed with Duroc or Hampshire pigs, and then the first generation of boars can be used as hybrid male parents, which can not only increase the lean meat rate but also reduce the occurrence of gray pork.
