Introduction

From the article of Mary Arnel D. Garcia and Rommel C. Sulabo (2021), p. 54

Philippine native pigs are commonly found in the backyards of rural households in several regions in the Philippines. They are predominantly black with long face, long snout, short and low-set body conformation, erect ears, small size, with an average mature body weight of 40 kg only (Bondoc and Ramos 1998). With the goal to improve the performance of The Philippine native pigs, the National Swine and Poultry Research and Development Center (NSPRDC) in Tiaong, Quezon developed the Black Tiaong pigs through selective breeding of native pigs from Kalinga, Marinduque and Quezon. Researches are also conducted on the establishment of nutrient requirements of the pigs.
