Pig Finisher Feed (for meat quality)

This advanced finishing feed has been formulated with meat quality parameters as the primary focus. The nutritional approach goes beyond simple weight gain to influence the biochemical processes that determine pork characteristics. The energy sources have been selected to influence fat deposition patterns, encouraging the development of desirable intramuscular fat while limiting backfat thickness. The inclusion of specific amino acids at precise ratios influences post-mortem muscle metabolism, affecting tenderness and water-holding capacity. Natural antioxidants in the formula help maintain cellular integrity during the final growth phase, which translates to improved shelf life and visual appeal of the pork. The mineral balance has been adjusted to support optimal pH decline post-slaughter, a critical factor in meat quality.
