Abstract

The swine performance test in relation to malignant hyperthermia genotype, 79 boars ( 23 Landrace, 28 Largewhite and 28 Duroc ) from the Thai-Belgium swine breeding project testing station were used. The average daily gain, feed conversion ratio and carcass quality were measured from 30-90 kg body weight. Swine with heterozygous genotype showed average daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio, back fat thickness, loin eye area and lean percentage which are respectively 2.60, 3.46, 0.48, 3.35 and 1.25 percent better than that of the normal genotype.
