dcterms.abstractThe Angler Saddleback pig is an endangered local breed originating from Germany. The breed is said to have low demands in terms of husbandry and feeding, and an excellent meat quality. To date, there is a lack of more recent scientific investigations of the breed. Therefore, 58 Angler Saddleback pigs were fattened in two consecutive trials whereby performance, carcass quality and meat quality were assessed. At an average age of 324 days, the pigs reached an average final live weight of 143 kg, an intramuscular fat (IMF) content of 2.6%, a lean meat percentage of 47% and a backfat thickness of 38 mm. A significant influence of the independent variables “breeder” and “age at the end of fattening” on the majority of target variables was found. Furthermore, IMF as well as pH value 45 minutes post mortem was significantly influenced by sex. These results give a current overview of the phenotypic characteristics of this endangered breed. It is shown that the slower growing Angler Saddleback breed may need alternative marketing concepts for its meat and meat products. Additionally, further research is necessary to clarify the reasons for the high phenotypic variation within this breed.eng
