Abstract
Relationships between 18 serum lipid and protein constituents and selected carcass measurements were studied in two experiments involving a total of 144 Yorkshire pigs. The magnitude of the correlation coefficients and the variation occurring between experiments indicate that none of the serum constituents measured is of significant value as an indicator of carcass quality in an individual animal.
