CHAPTER I. BREEDS OF PIGS. It has been freely asserted that the original wild pig, from which all our many cultivated breeds or varieties are descended, was of a rusty grey colour when young, the colour deepening as the pig reached maturity, and becoming a dark chestnut brown, with its hairs tinged with grey at the extremities as old age crept over it. For this opinion, which is expressed with great confidence by persons who have travelled considerably, there is much to be said. From residents in many foreign countries to which we have shipped pigs, we have learned that the semi-wild pig of the several countries is of a rusty or a slate colour, which with care in selection can be made of a lighter or of a darker shade. Climate and soil also undoubtedly affect the colour to a considerable extent; thus in Sierra Leone the pigs were described to us by the Hon. John Smith, one of the greatest benefactors of that country, as very small in size and bone, with comparatively little lean meat, and nearly black in colour, particularly the old pigs. In New Zealand the native pigs are very similar. In the colder portions of Siberia the pigs were stated by a resident to be "very small, of a slate colour and mostly bristles." It appears to be the same as regards the colour of the native pigs of all countries--this has become fixed, or at all events materially affected, by the colour of the lair in which it has to make its resting and hiding place. Thus in those countries where the climate is such as to produce a profusion of darkcoloured and rank herbage--as in tropical countries--there the wild pig is found to be of a colour approaching black; on the other hand, in the temperate zone where the herbage is sparse and the...

Download or read book European Local Pig Breeds Diversity and Performance written by Marjeta Čandek-Potokar and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-02-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local or autochthonous pig breeds represent a pool of genetic diversity of porcine species and a link with old-style traditional production systems and traditional pork products. These breeds were largely abandoned because they were not competitive in the concept of modern, industrial type of pig production. Despite an increased interest for local pig breeds in the past years, they remain largely untapped and the knowledge about their characteristics is limited, which was a challenge undertook in the project TREASURE in the frame of multicriteria evaluation of local pig breeds. The book represents a valuable compendium of data on census, breeding organisations, production systems, and performances with ambition to present their contemporary (preserved) phenotype. This work has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 634476 for project with acronym TREASURE.
