Commercially, Return on Investment (ROI) in pig farming is usually influenced breed or genetics.

Every pig farmer want pigs that have rapid growth, lean carcass quality and good feed conversion ratio. Some pigs have poor growth rate, low feed conversion ratio, high fat content and farrow small litter, such pigs are usually produced from poor pedigree.

To have a profitable pig farming, it is very important for pig farmers to consider these five exotic breeds.

1. Yorkshire
The Yorkshire is the most popular breed of pig in North America today.
They have erect ears and are solid white in color. To be more technical, they have pink skin and white hair.
They are typically large and fast growing, which helps make them the most popular breed.
Meat processors prefer white pigs such as the Yorkshire because the hair is light in color and doesn’t show up on the carcass as easily as a red or black haired pig.

2. Camborough
Camborough pig is known for High emphasis on lean meat % and conformation, Very robust hybrid boar, Good libido, Exceptional carcass musling, Superb feed conversion ratios
The breed is bred to maximize the kilograms of weaned pigs per year with
excellent feed efficiency. In addition, the Camborough can be bred typically three weeks earlier than other breeds resulting in a higher total number of piglets per sow per lifetime and lower production cost.

3. Large white
The breed is white in colour, long body, long head, dished face, erect ears, good mothering ability, good feed converter.

4. Landrace
This breed is also white in colour, long body, short leg, droopy ears, highly prolific and good feed utilizer

5. Duroc
This breed is cherry red in colour, rapid growth rate, fair mothering ability and good feed converter.

Personally, I love Camborough breed
Chose wisely for maximum output
