Sažetak
The aim of this work was to investigate the influence of RYR1 gene on economic and slaughter traits of fattening pigs, i.e., to determine connection of the RYR1 gene polymorphism with important economic and slaughter traits of pigs. Investigations were performed on 60 crossbreed pigs between large white and German Landrace (LW x GL) on the dam side, and Duroc on the sire side. The results showed that RYR1 gene had a great influence on muscle and backfat thickness, meat percentage and drip loss value. Statistically differences between electric conductivity, consistency and sensoric traits of muscle tissue were not found. These results partially confirm former investigations on the influence of RYR1 gene on productive traits of live pigs and carcass and meat traits of slaughter pigs. To get a thorough picture and precise valuation of impact of the RYR1 gene polymorphism on mentioned traits, further investigations on the larger pig populations are necessary.
