Pig Breeds. The most popular pig breed in use in England is the Duroc, Landrace or Large White, because of their shape, leanness and ease of keeping. But there are a large variety of farmers now keeping more traditional breeds which are now becoming more popular and thus their products are too.The American Yorkshire, a breed of domestic pig, is the American version of the Large White pig, white in color, with erect ears, which are different from the lop ears of the chester white.The average litter size is 13 piglets per sow. American Yorkshires are the most recorded swine breed in the United States.
The Yorkshire breed was developed in Yorkshire, England, circa 1761. In 1830, the first Yorkshires were imported to the United States, specifically to Ohio, but because of their slow growth rate, they did not become popular until the late 1940s. At that time, many large Yorkshires were imported from Canada and England for their ruggedness and favored carcasses. The breed then improved rapidly through selection.
Today, Yorkshire pigs are found in nearly every American state, with highest populations in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, and Ohio. The modern Yorkshire is muscular with a high proportion of lean meat. Yorkshire data have been maintained with great diligence, including growth, sow productivity, and backfat formation, representing the largest source of documented livestock performance records in the world.The Angeln Saddleback, also known as the Angler Sattelschwein (Danish: Angler sadelsvin), is a rare breed of domestic pig grown mainly in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is a large, lop-eared, black pig with a white belt around its body at the forefeet.
The breed originated in Angeln, Germany, by crossing a local German black-and-white Landrace with Wessex Saddleback. It became established in Schleswig-Holstein as a separate and distinct breed[1] in 1937, and by the 1950s commanded a substantial local market share. In recent years, however, it has become nearly extinct as market sentiment has turned against its fatty meat. It is well adapted to outdoor systems of management and is likely to see an upturn in popularity as breeders turn away from more intensive systems of production.The Beijing Black, also known as the Peking Black, is a breed of domestic pig from China. They are mostly black, but have some white markings. The breed was created in 1962 by cross-breeding a Berkshire with a common Chinese pig. Two other breeds, the Soviet White and the Yorkshire, were also crossbred with native Chinese pigs. It is described as being a "strong, rugged breed" that has "good production traits".
Breedi which pigs are chosen to breed new litters, several factors are considered, which include "litter size at birth and weaning, weight at weaning, and weight and backfat thickness at 6 months of age". The pigs that pass these requirements breed with Beijing Black pigs of other lines to create greater variety.The Chester White was first developed around 1815-1818, using strains of large, white pigs common to the Northeast U.S. and a white boar imported from John Russell Duke of Bedford, Bedfordshire county, England, referred to as the Woburn breed, brought by Captain Jefferies of Liverpool, England.
