pig in various agro-climatic condition of Nagaland. The present investigation was conducted at six locations, i.e.
Dimapur, ICAR farm and Peren are low hill (300 m) area; Kohima and Wokha are mid hill (1000–1500 m) area and
Kiphire district is high hill (2500 m) area. Body weight of male and female pig varied from 67 to 85 kg and 58 to
77 kg at 10 months of age. Body weight at 10 months of age was significantly higher in low hill (Dimapur, Peren
and ICAR farm) area compared to high hill area (Kiphire) at all stages in male as well as female pig. Average daily
weight gain was significantly higher at ICAR farm compared to other five locations in male and female pig. Age at
first estrus and age at first mating was significantly higher at Kiphire. Estrus and mating occurred at significantly
shorter age in pig at ICAR farm. There was no variation in gestation length across the different locations. Litter size
at birth and litter weight at birth varied from 8 to 9 numbers and 9 to 10 kg. Litter size at weaning was significantly
lower at Kiphire. Litter weight at weaning was significantly higher at ICAR farm. Significantly higher weaning to
estrus interval was recorded at Kiphire. Pre-weaning mortality was recorded from 7 to 18% and it was highest at
Kiphire district followed by Kohima and Peren. There was variation recorded in growth and reproductive performance
of Rani breed at different location in Nagaland, however, the performance was better than pure exotic and indigenous
breed.Not Availabl
