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.
