Objective of the research was to establish the effect of the sire breed (Swedish Landrace and Large Yorkshire) and sex of progeny (female animals and male castrates) on quality of carcass and pig meat. Based on the results obtained it can be concluded that investigated factors can have significant effect (P is less than 0.05, and P is less than 0.01) on certain traits of carcass quality, as well as on technological and biological traits of Musculus longissimus. For investigated chemical traits of Musculus longissimus no effect of investigated factors was established (P is greater than 0.05).
