The objective was to determine the effects of L-Met (LM, 99%), DL-Met (DLM, 99%), or calcium salt of DL-Met hydroxyl analogue (MHA, 84%) in finishing pig diets on carcass characteristics and meat quality. At d 66 of age, pigs (N = 240) were allocated to 60 single-sex pens for a four phase feeding system that lasted 104 days. On d56 pens were randomly allotted to one of three experimental diets for 48 day with a phase change at d83. For the final 7 wk of the finisher phase, pigs (BW= 79.9 ± 0.80 kg) were fed diets containing LM, DLM, or MHA, with the supplemental Met source providing 25% of standardized ileal digestible (SID) Met + cysteine (Cys) requirement. One pig per pen was slaughtered at study conclusion, and left sides of carcasses were fabricated into subprimal cuts to determine carcass-cutting yields. Loin quality including proximate composition and shear force was measured. Data were analyzed using the MIXED procedure of SAS. Hot carcass weight was not different (P = 0.34) between treatments (LM 104.5 kg; DLM 103.0 kg; MHA 101.5kg), moreover loin eye area was not different (P = 0.98) between treatments (LM 52.65 cm²; DLM 52.49 cm²; MHA 52.81 cm²). Boneless carcass cutting yield was not different (P = 0.56) between treatments (LM 54.97 kg; DLM 54.82 kg; MHA 54.52 kg). Loin pH was not different (P = 0.24) between treatments (LM 5.45; DLM 5.48; MHA 5.45). However, drip loss tended to be reduced (P = 0.11) by the DLM treatment (5.58%) compared with LM (7.03%) and MHA (6.68%) treatments. Shear force was not different (P = 0.85) between treatments (LM 3.03 kg; DLM 3.06 kg; MHA 3.10 kg). However, cook loss tended to be reduced (P = 0.06) by the DLM treatment (16.20%) compared with LM (18.18%) and MHA (18.50%) treatments. These data suggest that only minimal differences in carcass cutability and meat quality can be attributed to Met source in finishing pig diets."]},{"key":"dc:format","label":"Dc Format","values":["application/pdf"]},{"key":"dc:title","label":"Title","values":["Effects of supplemental methionine sources in finishing pig diets on carcass characteristics, cutting yields, and meat quality"]}]}],"canonical_facts":{"dc:contributor":["Harsh, Bailey","Dilger, Ryan","Dilger, Anna"],"dc:creator":["Remole, Hannah"],"dc:date":["2022-12","2022-12-09"],"dc:description":["Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'.
