畜產試驗所高雄種畜繁殖場自1997年起,利用梅山豬與高產肉性能之杜洛克豬進行品種雜交及黑毛選育,以期選育出繁殖與產肉性能兼具之新品種黑豬(高畜黑豬,KHAPS Black Pig)。歷經六個世代超過十年之繁殖選育,各項性能已趨於穩定且已達選育目標,經備文向中央主管機關農委會申請品種登記,已獲通過。目前高畜黑豬黑毛比例已達100%,其母豬平均繁殖性能分娩總仔數11.2頭,活仔數9.9頭,全部為純合子MM多產基因型與AA耐緊迫基因型。高畜黑豬擁有供為生產黑仔豬之母系豬的優點及潛力,在推廣應用上,建議採用較大型且遺傳穩定的民間黑公豬或杜洛克公豬進行雜交繁殖,以生產健康好飼養且體型佳、生長快的肉豬。
The new prolific breed of black pig had been selected for black coat from the crossbred of Meishan (M) and Duroc (D) in Kaohsiung Animal Propagation Station since 1997. We expect to breed a new black pig with prolificacy and excellent growth performance. Over ten years and six generations of selection, the black pig tended to have stable performance and appeared to achieve the breeding goal. It was then officially registered and named as a new black pig breed (KHAPS Black Pig). The present KHAPS Black Pig have 100% black coat. The reproduction performance of sows are 11.2 heads for the litter size at birth and 9.9 heads for litter size born alive. All pigs are homozygous ESR prolific genotype (MM) and CRC anti-stress genotype (AA). The KHAPS Black Pig has the potential to be the dam to produce black hogs. For the usage and extension, we recommend to cross them with larger and genetic stable commercial black boars or Duroc boars to produce sound, healthy, and fast-growing hogs.
