Abstract

The article discusses a study which investigated suitable weaning age for the Niang Megha breed of pigs. The pigs were reared at the National Research Centre on Pig's Institute Farm in Assam. Their body weights were regularly measured. Pigs weaned at 8 weeks have better overall growth ratio as compared to pigs weaned at 6 and 7 weeks.
