Summary:[In two fenced areas of Mediterranean bush, each 14 ha of surface area, 55 pigs (barrows and gilts) were reared: 14 (7 CS and 7 LW x CS) in one and 41 (20 CS and 21 LW x CS) in the other one. Subjects were fed the same diet and controlled every 40 days. Pigs were slaughtered at 140 kg average live weight. The crossbreds showed faster growth and less development of backfat. Density resulted significantly different only in the first period of growth. At dissection LW x CS pigs showed heavier side, total lean cuts, ham and loin and lighter fat cuts, backfat and belly. Density and sex did not affected the studied parameters.] In due recinti, ciascuno di 14 ha, di macchia Mediterranea sono stati allevati 55 suini (castrati e femmine): 14 (7 CS e 7 LW x CS) in uno e 41 (20 CS e 21 LW x CS) nell´altro. I soggetti sono stati alimentati tutti allo stesso modo e controllati ogni 40 giorni. Gli animali sono stati sacrificati ad un peso vivo medio di circa 140 kg. I meticci hanno mostrato accrescimenti più rapidi e un minore sviluppo del grasso dorsale. La densità è risultata significativamente diversa solo nel primo periodo di accrescimento. Alla sezionatura, i suini LW x CS sono risultati più carnosi e meno grassi. La densità e il sesso non hanno influenzato i parametri indagati
