domestic hog breeds organically.
To have better understanding, please answer all the exciting activities made just for you.
 What’s New

What Is It

Introduction

It is believed that the majority of the breeds we now know are descended from the
Eurasian Wild Boar (Sus scrofa). Archaeological evidence from the Middle East indicates
domestication of the pig occurs as early as 9,000 years ago, with some evidence for
domestication even earlier in China. Figurines, as well as bone, dating the sixth or seventh
millennium BC have been found at sites in the Middle East. Pigs were also popular subjects for
statuettes in ancient Persia.
 While most livestock were utilized initially by nomadic peoples, swine are more
indicative of a settled farming community. The reason for this is simply because pig are difficult
to herd and move for long distances. Pigs have become vital to the economy in parts of the
world. For example, there exists a "pig culture" in New Guinea as strong and complex as any
African culture based on cattle.

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 1.1-1.2

Philippine National Standards (PNS) Salient Features on Raising Organic Hog

Conversion Period
 Swine should be organically reared at least 120 days before slaughter.

Animal Husbandry Management

 Management of the environment of the animals shall take into account the behavioral
needs of the animals and provide for sufficient free movement, sufficient fresh air and
natural daylight, protection against unfavorable weather conditions, free access to fresh
water and feeds.

Breeds and breeding

 Breeding goals are such that animal diversity should be maintained. Indigenous or
native breeds should be preserved and promoted.
 The use of artificial insemination techniques is allowed. But shall not use segregated,
separated or modified sperm.
 Breeding techniques that embryo transfer, genetic engineering, treatments with
reproductive hormones and semen sexing are not allowed.
 The use of genetically engineered species or breeds is not allowed.

Breeding objectives
 Evaluate the performance and physical characteristics of breeders, your
management practices (breeding, feeding and health of the breeders) which may
result to culling and selection

PNS Provisions

Animal Husbandry Management Breeds and Breeding

 Sufficient free movement  Maintain livestock diversity

 Sufficient fresh air and  Indigenous breeds should be
natural daylight preserved and promoted
 Protection against excessive  Embryo transfer techniques
sunlight, temperatures, rain and cloning are not allowed
and wind  Artificial insemination is
 Enough lying and resting area permitted
 Animals requiring bedding, natural  Genetically engineered
materials shall be provided species
 Ample access to fresh water or breeds not allowed
and feed
 Shall have access to open air and
grazing as applicable
BREEDS OF PIGS

BERKSHIRE
A Berkshire shall be:
*A black and white animal with erect ears
exhibiting Berkshire character and occasional splash of
white may appear on the body.
*A Berkshire must have white on all four legs, face and
tail (unless tail is docked). One of the white leg points
may also be missing.

 Must be ear notched within seven days of birth.( This

goes for all pigs requiring ear notches)
 A Berkshire must NOT have a solid white or a solid
black face from the ears forward.
 A Berkshire must NOT have a solid black nose (rim of nose).
 White is allowed on the ears, but NO solid white may appear on the ears.
 Occasional splash of white may appear on the body.
The Berkshire, as seen above, has a few characteristic traits that make them stand out. The
easiest to spot are the erect ears. Compared to the Poland China which has many of the same
markings, the Berkshire also a somewhat distinct figure. This breed is known foremost for meat
quality, with some back fat, but great marbling of the carcass. They have shorter necks and more
of a dish face. Berkshire pigs are also known as a Heritage Breed.

MULEFOOT

*Mule foot hogs as mainly black, with occasional

animals having white points; medium flop ears; and a soft
hair coat
1. Solid, non-cloven hoof.
2. Solid black (a few white points accepted.)
3. Medium pricked ears. Falling forward not covering the
entire face.

TAMWORTH

The other red pig. Most notable about the Tamworth

breed is its ability to forage for itself. The Tamworth is
originally from central England in the counties of
Stafford, Warwick, Leicester, and Northampton. While
the color may resemble that of a Duroc, the Tamworth is
not to be confused with its red cousin.
Tamworth Pig Standards
*Golden-red, abundant, straight and fine and as free from black hairs as possible.
*Face slightly dished, wide between the ears, jowl light.

*Ears, large and erect

*Black hair and black spots are objectionable.

LARGE BLACK

Large Black Pig Standards

*Solid Black snout to tail
*Large lop ears covering the eyes
*Long straight face and snout
*Long deep bodies

POLAND CHINA

Poland China’s are sort of a mystery

pig. While the breed can be traced
back to a few Ohio counties, it is not
known exactly which breeds
influenced the creation of the Poland
China. Pigs during this era needed
to be large and travel easy to get
themselves to market. Poland
Chinas fit the bill perfectly.

Poland China Breed Standards

*Must be black with six white points (face, feet and switch) with an occasional splash of white
on the body. A hog may not possess more than one (1) solid black leg and be determined as a
Poland China.
*Must have ears down (floppy
*Must not have evidence of a belt forma
*Cannot have red or sandy hair / and or pigment.

CHESTER WHITE
Chester Whites are classified as Heritage Hogs
and are known for superior mothering abilities,
durability, and soundness.
Chester White Breed Standards:
*Must be completely white
*Possesses a dished face
*Has medium fall floppy ears
*Has a full thick coat
 LANDRACE
Landrace are white in color. Their ears droop and slant forward with its top edges
nearly parallel to the bridge of a straight nose. Landrace, which are noted for their ability to
farrow and raise large litters, are the fifth most recorded breed of swine in the United States.
Landrace Breed Markings and Registration
Requirements
*No animal to be used for breeding purpose shall be
eligible to record:
*There is any hair other than white on any part of the
animal’s body
*Have upright ears.
*Has less than six functional teats on each side
of the underline or has any inverted teats where an
animal shows evidence of an extra dewclaw.

Black spots in the skin are very objectionable and any large spots or numerous black spots
located on any part of the hog makes the pig ineligible for registry.
However, a small amount of black pigmentation is allowed on the body of the animal.

HAMPSHIRE
Hampshires are one of the oldest breeds in America. They have erect ears (meaning they
stand straight up). First let’s look at the qualifications of the breed.
Hampshire Breed Markings and Registration
Requirements
*Black in colour with a white belt totally encircling the
body including both front legs and feet.
* Animal can have white on its nose as long as the white
does not break the rim of the nose and when its mouth is
closed, the white under the
chin can NOT exceed what a U.S. minted quarter will
cover. White is allowed on the rear legs as long as it does
NOT extend above the tuber calis bone (knob of the
hock).Must have at least six (6) functional udder
sections on each side of the underline.
DUROC
The color marking of all Duroc breeding hogs
for registration shall be red.

Disqualifications for registry

*White feet or white spots on any part of the body with
the exception of the end of the nose;
*Black spots, no more than three, none over two inches in
diameter on the body;
*Ridgeling (one testicle) boar;
*Less than six functional udder sections on each side of
the underline.
 YORKSHIRE

In the United States and Canada, this breed is called

Yorkshire, however, in England, where the breed
originated; it is referred to as the Large White.

Suitability of the breed

To determine the adaptability of the

breed, the following must be considered:
 Adaptability to local conditions ;
 Performance and productivity of the
animal;
 Availability of the animal ;
 Local preference of the breed.

BREED SELECTION GUIDE

Guidelines in selecting breeder sow on the basis of physical appearance

 Young female swine should have a minimum of 6 pairs of well-developed and

properly space function teats. If not, they are likely to have poor milking capacity.
 Teats that are inverted do not secrete milk, so choose pigs whose teats are not
inverted.
 Long bodied sow are desirable because of the more space created for udder
development.
 Body width is uniform from front to rear.
 When selecting breeding animals, see to it that it has a well-developed ham, loin,
and shoulder.
 Well-paced feet and legs, medium short feet and upright pastern are preferable.
 Select biggest among the litter.
 Having a litter of 8 or more good size piglets with high survivability is a
good female breeder.
 Do not select young female swine that fail to secrete milk.

Breeding Efficiency
 Proper care and management of breeders (selection of breeders, providing
appropriate nutrients for breeders, providing correct housing requirements and
implementation of effective herd health program)
Alternative Breeding System
 Use artificial insemination, Upgrading system to produce offspring with superior
quality/traits.

Numbers of Breeder Animals

 Selection of replacement stocks either within the general herd or buy from
reputable sources through judging based from the characteristics of a good
breeder using score card.

Inbreeding Prevention
 Practice record keeping strictly including proper identification of animals (ear
tagging, ear notching, tattooing) and castration of unwanted male animals.
 Factors to Consider when Selecting a
Breeding Stock:

 Age
 Level of Performance AGE
 Physical Fitness  Young animals
 Health  They have a longer productive
 Body Conformation life.
 Temperament or behavior  Old animals are poor breeders
 Quality of products and low producers
 Mothering ability  Production and breeding
 Adaptability efficiency decline with age.
 Prolificacy

LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE

 Animals with highest production level selected

 Performance is best indicated by records
PHYSICAL FITNESS
 Animals selected should be free from any physical defect e.g. :
 Mono-eyed, Limping , Irregular number of teats, Scrotal hernia
 Defective and weak backline
HEALTH MOTHERING ABILITY
 Sick animals do not breed well  Animals selected should have a good
and expensive to keep mothering ability
 Animals that resistant to diseases pass  Have good natural instinct towards
these characteristics their young one
 This will enable them to rear the
TEMPERAMENT OR BEHAVIOR young ones up to weaning
 Animals with bad behaviors should be ADAPTABILITY
culled. E.g. Cannibalism,
kicking, aggressiveness  Well adapted to climatic
condition.
BODY CONFORMATION QUALITY OF PRODUCTS
Animal for breeding to be selected
according to proper body conformation  Select animals that give products of
high quality such as meat.
PROLIFICACY
BREED SELECTION IN BOAR:
 The ability to give birth to many  Animal for breeding to be selected
offspring at a time according to proper body conformation
( large litter)  Equal Testicles
 The ancestry records assist to choose  High Fertility rate
the prolific breeds for mating  Good Performance
 No Deformities
 Long Body Frame
Recognizing in heat and pregnant animal
In heat:
 Grunting and mounting of the hogs
 Swelling and reddening of the vulva
 Loss of appetite
 Erect ears
 Appearance of mucus discharge from the vagina
 Frequent attempts to urinate with little or no discharge at all
Pregnant:
Characteristics of Good Stock
 Absence of heat/estrus
• White pigs: 12-15 kgs at 45 days from birth
 Increase weight • Native pigs: 10 kgs at 90 days
 Enlargement of the abdomen • Shiny haircoat
 Development of mammary glands • Gait

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 1.3-1.5

Bedding materials – Are materials used to provide a bed for animals

Brooder- It is a material used to supply warm, safe place for the animals to grow
Disinfectant- It is a material used to reduce by physical or chemical means,
the number of microorganism in the environment, to a level that does not
compromise food safety or suitability.

Waterer – equipment used in providing water to animals

Site Selection
 Strategically located within the
approved land use plan
 Have adequate supply of water
 Good access road
 Not prone to flooding
 Accessible to major facilities
of production

Preparation and construction of Pig house and beddings

 The design of the hog house shall consider good ventilation for the animals. This means
that there is an opening at the top of the roof where hot air exits.
 The floor area shall restrain any walling or any form of barrier that inhibits the free flow
of air to ensure that the beddings shall always be dried. Good drainage system makes
the area clean and dry.
 Floor Space Requirement: 1.5
sq.m./head
Options for Facilities:
Feeding Through
Drinkers for Concoctions
Wallowing Pond
Materials:
Permanent- round bars
Indigenous- bamboo slats

Bedding Ratio and Proportion:

8:1:1:2 where 8 sacks of rice hull
or coco coir dust, 1 sack of
vermicompost, 1 sack of sieved
sand, and 2 kilograms of salt

In designing the beddings, the floor area shall be excavated about 90 centimetres where the
beddings materials are embedded. The bedding materials are:
 Rice hulls 80%, (8sacks of rice hull)
 Sand 10%, (1 sack of sieved sand)
 Soil/vermicompost 10%,(1 sack of soil/vermicompost)
 2 kilos of salt for every mixture of 10 bags.
 Rice hull can be substituted by saw dust, coco coir dust and other similar
materials.
 The mixture shall be sprayed with IMO at 1% concentration in water based
solution. Before the mixture is place in the hole. The surroundings area including
the hole must be sanitized by pouring boiling water or by flame thrower. Feeding
trough and waterers must be properly installed.
 Always provide your pigs with plenty of clean, dry straw for bedding. Pigs love to
build nests to sleep in. Remove damp and soiled straw daily, replacing it with
fresh. Spreading an odor reducer/deodorizer (such as Stall DRY) over wet areas
will help keep the area dry.
 Preparing the Beddings for Organic Hog

Procedures in Stocking the Beddings

 Disinfect the area
 Introduce beneficial microorganisms
 Divide the coco coir dust or rice hull, vermicompost, sand into two parts
 Divide the salt into three parts
 Add the first part of coco coir dust or rice hull, then the vermicompost, then the sand
and add the first part of the salt.
 Introduce beneficial microorganisms
 Add the remaining parts of the coco coir dust or rice hull, then the vermicompost, sand
and the second part of salt.
 Introduce beneficial microorganisms
 Add the remaining part of salt as the toppings.
