Productive performance of crossbred pigs reared under two accommodations

Abstract

Total of 12 crossbreed female pigs (Hampshire x Tenyivo) in the genetic ratio of 75:25 at the age of 42 days each were reared in two different accommodation, i.e., (Group 1, T1) group accommodation and (Group 2, T2) individual accommodation under standard management conditions for 28 fortnights. The values for feed intake (11.33 kg Vs 9.95 kg) were significantly (P>0.05) higher in group accommodation as compared to individual ones; however the other parameters like body weight, body weight gain, feed conversion efficiency and performance index were same in both the accommodations. From the results, it can be concluded that different types of accommodation in the crosses of Hampshire x Tenyivo with the ratio of 75:25 has affect on feed intake.
