Doyle Wilson Fat Quotations

We just scan the breeding stock when they are at a young age - about market weight - and select those that have higher levels of intramuscular fat to produce the next generation of pigs.

The industry is interested in bringing some of that intramuscular fat back. You don't need high levels, but for consumer acceptability you need to have at least 2.5 percent intramuscular fat in the tissue.
