Sažetak
Forty pigs were used in the trials to determine the effect of different housing systems on the performance of two-way (LWxELW) and three–way [(LWxSY)xELW] crossbred pigs. The studies were conducted with four analogous group of 10 animals. Pigs in Group 1 (LWxELW) and Group 2 [(LWxSY)xELW] were fattened in a pigsty and analogous Group 3 (LWxELW) and Group 4 [(LWxSY)xELW] were raised outdoors in enclosures with fitted sheds on 8.5 area. The study indicated that crossbred pigs fattened both indoors and outdoors gained weight similarly. There were no significant differences for the growth rate, carcass and meat quality traits between three-way [(LWxSY)xELW] and two-way (LWxELW) crossbred pigs raised both indoors and outdoors, however, cooking losses of three-way crossbred pig meat were 3.99% (0.047) higher and tryptophan : oxyprolin ratio was 0.95 (P0.016) lower compared with two-way crossbred pig meat.
