Abstract: VIDAL, SHIRLEY TIBAYAN. "Aspects of Management and Characterization of Native Pigs in Naic and Maragondon, Cavite." Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite: April 1996. Adviser: Dr. Andrew T. Bunan. A survey was conducted in selected barangays of Naic and Maragondon, Cavite to know how native pigs are managed in these areas and to determine aspects of their phenotypic and genetic characteristics. One hundred residents were interviewed. These respondents raise native pigs as supplementary source of income and as sacrificial animals .Most respondents manage their native pigs the way commercial pigs are managed. They feed their pigs twice a day with a combination of commercial feeds and farm by-products or kitchen refuse. Majority tether their pigs while some provide very simple housing made of local materials. Native pig raisers are aware of the physiological changes in hogs from where decision on breeding are based. They practice natural mating in reproducing their stock. Most prefer to upgrade their stock using boars from exotic or commercial breeds. Native pigs are disposed of at weaning for economy purposes. At this stage, their body weight ranges from 4 to 9 kg. Average litter size of native pigs at birth and weaning ranged from 1 to 15 with the weight of piglets ranging from 0.5 to 1 kg at birth and 4 to 9 kg at weaning. Most native pigs are predominantly black with color pattern ranging from black to black with white patches in the hocks. They have long and straight face. Their ears are medium in size and semi-erect in position. They have straight and long tails. Most have five pairs of teat and have a short body.
