Abstract
Glycolytic potential (an estimator of intra vitam glycogen level) was determined at slaughter in the M. longissimus lumborum muscle from 6 Large White pigs and 6 Pen Ar Lan pigs (Pen Ar Lans are Hampshire × Pietrain × Large White crossbred pigs). Muscle samples (M. longissimus lumborum) were taken at slaughter and 24 h later. Muscle glycolytic potential was much higher in Pen Ar Lans than in Large Whites. Samples were cut at – 25°C for histochemistry. Serial cuts were stained for ATPase activity, succinate dehydrogenase activityKeywords
