Characteristics

The Korean Native pig was reported to have glossy black hair, a dished face, a greatly protruded mouth, big eyes, straightly upright ears, round shoulders, a narrow rear back, a wide chest, long hips, well-balanced short legs and 10-12 teats (Taimatsu, 1917). Its major characteristics are high-propagating power, superior meat quality and strong adaption ability. (Yeo et al. 2000). Its growth rate and feed conversion ratio are lower than in imported breeds, but it yields meat of higher quality and adapts better to extensive management.[2]
