The relation between carcass grade and fat accumulation was examined by estimating genetic and phenotypic correlations among carcass grade, backfat thickness and carcass cross sectional areas of subcutaneous fat, intermuscular fat and total fat. Carcasses of 326 fattening pig were graded and the cross-section cut between the fourth and fifth thoracic vertebra was photographed for each animal for analyses of fat accumulation. Areas of cross-section, subcutaneous fat and intermuscular fat were analyzed by computer image analysis and fat accumulation around the loin was graded for seam fat score (1-5). Slaughtering season (I; Aug.-Nov., II; Dec.-Jan. and III; Feb.-March) significantly affected age at slaughtering and subcutaneous fat area and all the traits examines in this study were affected by sex except for carcass weight. Comparisons of these traits also show that carcasses graded as "upper class" were of pigs which were slaughtered at younger age than those of carcasses of lower classes. Carcasses graded as "upper class" and "middle class" had thicker backfat, larger subcutaneous and total fat areas and a higher seam fat score than those graded as "ordinary class" although there were no significant difference in intermuscular fat area among the classes. Backfat thickness was highly correlated to subcutaneous fat area (rG: 0.69, rP: 0.61, genetic and phenotypic, respectively), total fat area (rG : 0.74, rP: 0.55) and seam fat score (rG: 0.80, rP: 0.38), however, its correlation to intermuscular fat area was found to be poor (rG: 0.37, rP: 0.17). These results suggest that it may be necessary to incorporate fat accumulation in the carcass cross section into the carcass grading system so that carcass intermuscular fat accumulation is evaluated.
