The current study was conducted to determine the effects of high oil com(HOC) on carcass traits and pork quality as well as fatty acid composition, and cholesterol concentrations of loin muscle. Total 104 pigs(Barrow; 52, Gilts; 52) were fed diets containing typical com plus animal fat(control) or high oil corn(HOC) replacing typical corn and animal fat for the final 85 days before slaughter. There were no differences in carcass traits and pork quality between pigs fed HOC diet and control diet. The proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids of loin muscle and loin fat from pigs fed HOC-diets was higher than that of pigs fed by regular com diet(P$lt;0.05). The cholesterol concentration of loin muscle of HOC-diet pigs tended to be lower than that of the control diet pigs.
