The structure of musculus longissimus lumborum (m.l.l.) was evaluated with respect to proportion of three muscle fiber types and their diameters, in gilts and barrows of wild boar/domestic pig hybrids. The experiment was carried out on 29 hybrids (21 barrows and 8 gilts) which originated from crossing Duroc sows with wild boar (Sus scrofa ferus). The diameter of the "red" fibres in barrows was 48.42 Fm, significantly greater than in gilts -43.71 Fm. The diameters of the remaining two types of fibres in barrows and gilts were similar and amounted to: "intermediate" fibres -39.08 and 40.79 Fm, "white" fibres -51.42 and 51.03, respectively. In respect to sex no statistical differences in proportion of any types of fibers were found, which in barrows came to: "red" -12
