The study was conducted in LLC "AF" Dzerzhinets "Dnepropetrovsk region, LLC" Globinsky meat-packing plant ", laboratory of zoochemical analysis of the Institute of Pig and APV NAAS, research center of biosafety and environmental control of agricultural resources of the Dnieper State Agrarian Economic University and the Laboratory of Animal Husbandry crops NAAS. The work was performed according to the research program of NAAS №30 "Pig breeding". Control fattening of young pigs was carried out in the farm according to the "Methods for assessing boars and sows for the quality of offspring in breeding plants and breeding breeders" (Berezovsky, Khatko, 2005). In the serum of 5-month-old animals was determined the content of total protein (g / l), the activity of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), (mmol / h / l), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), (mmol / h / l) and alkaline phosphatase (units / l) ) (Vlizlo et al., 2012). Physicochemical properties of the longest muscle of the back (m. Longissimus dorsi) were studied taking into account the following parameters: "active acidity (pH) 24 hours after slaughter, units of acidity", "tenderness, c", "color intensity, units of ext. × 1000 »,« moisture holding capacity,% »« losses at heat treatment,% », (Methodical recommendations on…, 1987, Polivoda, Strobykina, Lyubetsky, 1977). Biometric processing of the obtained material was performed according to the methods of Lakin (1990) using the programmable module "Data Analysis" in Microsoft Excel. It was found that the biochemical parameters of serum (total protein, activity of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase in young pigs of large white breed correspond to the physiological norm of clinically healthy animals. According to the classification, according to the classification quality "on the indicator" tenderness, c "is 8.33%.," wet holding capacity,% "- 8.33%," color intensity, units ext. × 1000 "- 20.83%. Significant relationships were found between the following pairs of traits: aspartate aminotransferase (AST) × alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity (r = + 0.405), tenderness × moisture holding capacity (r = + 0.400), tenderness × staining intensity (r = -0.365), moisture retention capacity × heat loss (r = -0.416), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity × active acidity (pH) 24 hours after slaughter (r = + 0.446), alkaline phosphatase activity × staining intensity (r = -0.543). In order to early predict the qualitative composition of muscle tissue of young pigs of large white breed by active acidity (pH) 24 hours after slaughter (units of acidity) and color intensity (units ex. × 1000), we propose to use the following biological markers of alanine aminotransferase activity ( ALT) and alkaline phosphatase activity.
