Pires et al.
The interest in outdoor swine production systems due to the lower initial investment cost
such as facilities, buildings and equipment is increasing (Araujo et al. 2016; Cerqueira et
al., 2016). In the North of Portugal an example of sustainable production systems can be
seen in Bísaro pig breed, whose production system shows some diversity: small
traditional farms, intensive outdoor and semi-extensive. In this breed there is a great
tradition in fattening and finishing pigs into a variety of traditional products.
The present work intended to estimate the impact of growing/finishing Bísaro pigs housed
in a hoop barn or in a traditional confinement on some meat quality traits as color in the
CIELAB space, drip loss (DL), thawing loss, cooking loss (CL), texture analysis by
Warner-Bratzler (shear force), moisture, pH and oxidative status, of the longissimus
lumborum (LL).
