I. Preparatory activities.
1. The teacher will ask students about their
understanding of Selecting a breeding stock.

4.1 Introductory Activity

3 minutes
 Word Hunt – Swine Selection Edition

Divide the class into 4 groups. The teacher will give a

word related to selecting feeder and breeding stock.
Each group must find things that start with each letter
of the given word. The words can be any objects, tools,
or terms that start with the letters. The group that
completes the list first with the most relevant words
wins!
4.2 Activity
7 minutes Words:

 BREED
 SWINE
 FEEDER
 PIGLET

 FEEDING SELECTION

The teacher will ask questions:

1. What characteristics do you think a good

2. How do you think the selection of feeder pigs
affects farm profits?

Selecting Feeder and Breeding Stock

Feeder pigs are raised for fattening purposes. Buy pigs

which are healthy, vigorous, and show promise of being
good gainers or rapid growers.

Never purchase runts or bansot as feeder pigs. Rapid

growers are those that attain the highest weight gain at
weaning. An indication of the animal's health can be
gauged by its appearance and behavior.
Here are some of the observable characteristics of
healthy and sickly pigs.

Characteristics Healthy Pig Sickly Pig

Halrcoat Fine and smooth Dull and rough
with shine and haircoat
luster
Skin Clean and shiny Dirty, crusted, or
scaly
Activity Alert and active Inactive, often
sleeping or lying
down in the pen
Appetite Voracious Poor appetite or
during feeding does not eat at
time all
Movement Seeks the Stays away from
company of Its pen-mates
other pigs in the
pen

Breeding animals include the gilt or sow and the boar.

These animals should be selected carefully to ensure

high performance. A continuous selection of these
animals must be carried out to maximize profit. Some
pointers to remember when selecting breeding animals
are:

1. If possible, use production records to show the

performance of the boar and sow.

2. Select from a large and healthy litter of at least eight

piglets at weaning. This is a good measure of the
mothering ability of the sow. Good mothering ability is
gauged by the number, size, and weight of the piglets at
weaning. The piglets should be healthy, vigorous, and
uniform in size.

3. Select animals that have twelve or more well-

developed, well-spaced teats, equally distributed on
each side.

4. Breeding animals should be well-balanced and sound

footed visible by its free and active movement when
walking.

5. Avoid breeding animals with physical and hereditary

defects like the following:

a. Ventral hernia. An inherited defect occurring

between abnormally arranged or weak muscles of the
abdomen.

b. Scrotal hernia. This involves weakening of the

musculature of the inguinal ring and other structures,
allowing the intestine to pass into the scrotum.

c. Inguinal hernia. This is a condition in female hogs

similar to scrotal hernia in boars, where the intestines
pass through the inguinal ring.

d. Umbilical hernia. This involves a weakened

supportive musculature of the umbilicus, allowing the
intestine to protrude into the orifice of the stomach.

e. Cryptorchidism. A defect which causes one or both

testicles to descend into the scrotal sac.

f. Atresia ani. Closed rectum in a pig.

g. Inverted or improperly spaced teats.

h. Nervousness.

6. Select breeding animals at two to three months of

age. This will give you enough time to observe them. If
they do not show the signs of good productivity, they
should not be used for breeding purposes.

7. Select breeding animals with well-defined sex

characteristics. For boars, consider the following:
a. Masculinity both in appearance and action
b. Two well-developed testicles, equal in size, and
hanging uniformly
c. Vigorous constitution
d. Massive structure
e. Ambitious but controlled temperament

For sows and gilts, consider the following:

a. Good mothering ability
b. Should be refined about the head
c. Should be smooth in general appearance
 Pick the Perfect Pig

With the same groups. The teacher will present 3

different pig profiles. Each profile will include traits,
characteristics, and possible defects of a pig.

1. Groups will discuss and decide:

o Which pig is best for breeding?
o Which pig is best as a feeder pig?
o Which pig should be culled?
2. Groups will write down their choices and
explain their reasoning in 1-2 sentences.
3. Each group will share their answers with the
class.

Pig Profiles:
Pig A: Healthy coat, 12 teats, comes from a litter of
4.5 Application
9, strong legs, active
10 minutes

Pig B: Scrotal hernia, dull coat, weak appetite,

small litter size
 Pig C: Large and healthy, but has improperly
spaced teats and an aggressive temperament

Directions: Read each question carefully and choose

the best answer.
