Methods: A total of 20 piglets of approximately 3 months old were distributed among 5 farmers. Pigs were maintained by farmers under intensive system with the provision of approximately 70% locally available feed and 30% supplemented ration in the form of concentrate mixture. Weaning of piglets was done at the age of 8 weeks. Body weight was recorded at monthly interval. Age at sexual maturity, age a first farrowing, litter size and weight at birth and at weaning were also recorded.

Result: Genetic group had significant effect on age at first farrowing (AFF) and litter weight at weaning. Significantly higher litter weight at weaning was recorded in graded Hampshire (82.60±2.77 kg) than graded Berkshire (70.40±3.96 kg). Similarly, significantly lower AFF was found in graded Hampshire (376.80±4.87 days) than graded Berkshire (395.60±6.12 days). The rest of other economic traits had non-significant influence but higher value was recorded in graded Hampshire. On the basis of above findings, it can be concluded that graded Hampshire pigs performed better than graded Berkshire under village managemental conditions. Hence, Hampshire boar should be preferred over Berkshire for upgrading the non-descript desi stock of the state.
