Extract

Few reliable figures (1) exist at the present time which show the relative qualities of the various British breeds of pigs in respect of their ability to put on weight and the relative proportions of meat and offal in the carcases. Weights and carcase percentages of German breeds have been published by the German Agricultural Society (2).
