Two lines were taken from the same base population and were contemporarily bred one control line C and one line S selected for reduced in vivo glycolytic potential IVGP of the longissimus muscle. Throughout the experiment second-parity animals were slaughtered at 100 kg body weight in order to evaluate the correlated effects of selection on meat quality and muscle compositional traits. Heritability values genetic correlations with the selection criterion and average genetic trends per generation were estimated for all traits. Heritability values for the traits measured on several muscles depended on the muscle. Within muscle heritability estimates for ultimate pH and lightness L value were of the same order. For enzyme activities estimates of heritability were from to for lactate dehydrogenase LDH from Correspondence and reprints Present address Station
