| Summary, etc. | A study was conducted to find out the production performance and adaptability of three newly imported breeds of pigs viz. Duroc, Large White Yorkshire and Landracc and to compare it with that of existing Large %ite Yorkshire pigs of Kerala. Thirty animals from each group were selected for the study. All the animals were fed with same type of feed through out the experimental period. Body weight and body measurements were recorded at fortnightly intervals. The quantity of feed consumed by each group was also recorded. Rectal temperature was measured at weekly intervals during the noon hours. Animals were also observed during noon and feeding hours to study the adaptive behavioral manifestations. The results revealed that the body weight of the newly imported pigs were superior to that of Mannuthy Large %ite Yorkshire pigs. The body weight averaged 64.50±6.63, 62.75±5.16, 82.031±8.50 and 39.89±7.23 between 4.5 to 5 months of age and 171.25±7.69, 173.66±7.38, 169.14±9.98 and 124.66± 11.64 between 11 and 11.5 months of age. The newly imported pigs were ready for slaughter at 6.5 to 7.0 months of age while the Mannuthy Large %ite Yorkshire pigs attained the lOO-kg target during 9.5 to 10 months of age. The average daily ; gain calculated for the Mannuthy Large White Yorkshire pigs was also lower than the three newly imported groups. Average daily gain up to 100 kg body weight averaged 63(), 673, 672 and 453 g for Duroc, Large \X!hite Yorkshire Landrace and Mannuthy Large \Xfhite Yorkshire pigs. Feed conversion ratio up to 100 kg body weight averaged 4.03, 3.95, 3.72 and 4.63 for the above four breeds. Results of body measurements show that the Large White Yorkshire pigs maintained at Mannuthy farm was the smallest animal in all weight groups. Landrace pigs were the longest (120.47 cm) and duroc pigs were the tallest (87.63) at the end of the experimental period. Data regarding the rectal temperature revealed that the temperature recorded for the Mannuthy pigs was slightly higher than the three newly imported groups. Among the four breeds the newly imported Large White Y o.rkshire pigs were the most aggressive animal at the time of feeding while Duroc pigs were comparatively quiet at the time of feeding. The present study revealed that the overall production performance of Large \"X/hite Yorkshire pigs,. ancestors of which were imported to kerala about 20 years 4g0, is inferior to that of newly imported Duroc, Large White Yorkshire and Landrace pigs. But the production performance of Mannuthv Large White Yorkshire pigs was found to superior to that of many other exotic pigs maintained in other parts of India. |
