This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of nutritional levels on the growth and pork quality of Korean native black pigs (54 pigs from 35-75kg). Three nutritional levels (high, medium and low in ME and lysine) were tested. As nutritional levels increased, the average daily gain improved, and the days to market weight were reduced. There were no significant differences in dressing percentage, backfat thickness, loin eye area and % lean among the dietary treatments. However, barrows showed thicker (p<0.05) for backfat than gilt. The analysis of Korean native black pig carcass traits indicated that the fatty acid composition of loin-eye muscle, intra-muscular fat content, sarcomere length, and muscle ratio between red- and white-muscles did not show any statistically significant variation. However, regarding intra-muscular fat, H carcasses (high energy diet) contained higher levels of saturated fatty acids with lower levels of unsaturated fatty acids compared to the carcasses from the other two energy groups (M and L). In addition, the levels of n-3 tended to be lower as the energy/lysine level in the diet increased, while the ratio of n-6/n-3 tended to decrease as the energy/lysine level increased, even though the differences were not statistically significant. Even with no statistically significant differences, it was interesting to observe that the sarcomere length tended to increase as the energy level of the diet increased, and with muscle ratio analysis, the red muscle ratio from the L-group, and the white muscle ratio from the M-group were higher than the other energy groups.
