Abstract:
Raising pigs is one of the most important assignments for rural poverty farmers and other economically marginalized groups of people. Due to the provision of insurance for the disenfranchised and socially vulnerable, it directly affects socioeconomic standing. Information about the physical traits of native pigs was gathered from Ranchi, Dumka, and Simdega districts in the state of Jharkhand. Black, slightly concave snout profile, full hoof placement, concave top line, 70.59% small erect, 92.04% vertical ear orientation, 90.6% straight tail shape, and 49.25% short bristle size were the average physical traits of Jharkhand's indigenous pigs.
