Publisher's Synopsis
Due to its pleasant taste, pork is one of the most important foods and a very important raw material for industrial processing, such as dried meat products, meat cans, sausages and others. Apart from meat and fat, breeding pigs also provide a range of additional products, most of which are for food (intestines), and pork fat.
Pork is distinguished by very special characteristics - both as a product and as a food. In relatively large quantities - it gives pork fat (from which many products are made).
The balance, in which these two will occur, depends on the amount of muscle and fat tissue in the pig body. This is influenced by a large number of factors, one of which is related to the hereditary basis, the other for the mode of production. Most important is the diet and the age, in which the pigs are fed.
In the past, pigs were mostly grown for fat, but today the importance of pigs is growing due to the meat production.
