During the fattening period the animals got regularly weight and measured alive with magnetic resonance tomo-graphy (MRT) in order to research tissue growth. After achieving a live weight of about 120 kilogram the pigs got slaughtered. After slaughtering the carcass quality was acquired, samples were taken for investigating the meat quality and one carcass side was measured again with the MRT. Results point out that differences exist between the breeds concerning the attributes of growth, carcass and meat quality. date: 2007 date_type: published refereed: yes citation: Küster, Simone; Baulain, Ulrich; Henning, Martina and Brandt, Horst (2007) Wachstum und Produktqualität verschiedener Schweineherkünfte aus ökologischer Haltung.
