Abstract

Compared to modern breeds, Iberian pigs have lower rates of muscle protein deposition and greater viscera weight. Factors that limit growth performance of Iberian pigs are still unknown. We hypothesized that differences in net portal appearance (NPA) of amino acids (AA) might partially explain the lower growth rate reported in Iberian pigs compared to modern breeds (Nieto et al., 2002).
