Abstract
Large White Yorkshire pig, known for its litter size and mothering ability has
been extensively used for several decades to improve Desi pigs through
crossbreeding. The production and reproduction performance of the breed was
evaluated based on data collected from records maintained at PGRIAS, Kattupakkam,
Kancheepuram. The individual traits studied were birth weight (BW), weaning weight
(WW), pre-weaning average daily gain (ADG), market weight (MW) and pre-
weaning mortality (PWM). The sow performance traits studied were age at first
fertile service (AFF S), litter size at binh (LSAB), number born alive (NBA), litter
weight at birth (LWAB), litter size at weaning (LSAW), litter weight at weaning
(LWAW) and farrowing interval (Fl).
