Table 2. Pig carcass weight and backfat thickness according to the Grading System for Pig Products in Korea
| Grade 1+ | Grade 1 | Grade 2 | p-value1) |
Carcass weight (kg) | 87.6 ± 2.64c | 87.9 ± 5.27a | 87.7 ± 8.98b | 0.000 |
Backfat thickness (mm) | 21.2 ± 2.06c | 27.8 ± 3.90a | 23.2 ± 7.33b | 0.000 |
Each value is presented as mean ± SD.
Population numbers for Grades 1+, 1, and 2 are 145,872, 157,833, and 115,616, respectively.
p-value is obtained by t-test of heteroscedasticity variance.
Different superscripts in the same row differ significantly in the analysis of heteroscedasticity variance.
