Description

To select good quality wild boar breeding stock, you should consider the following criteria:

Investigate the origin: When buying young piglets, you need to thoroughly research information about the parents to assess genetic value.
Physical characteristics:
- Head: Small head, long, pointed, and straight snout.
- Back: Curved back (arch shape).
- Legs: Strong legs, close-set hooves, agile gait.
- Hair: Stiff and upright hair.
Health: The breeding pigs must be healthy, free from signs of disease, and have a good appetite.
Comparison: You should consult with several different breeders to compare and choose the best breeding stock.

In Vietnam, wild boar breeding stock is mainly hybrid (F1, F2…) because purebred wild boars are very difficult to raise due to their habit of living in the wild:

Purebred wild boars: These are a breed of pig with a natural origin, high wild characteristics, difficult to raise in captivity, and are often used as a foundation for crossbreeding.
Wild boar hybrids (F1, F2…): This is the most common breed in livestock farming, created by crossbreeding purebred wild boars with domestic pigs (such as the Man pig, I pig, etc.). Hybrids are easier to raise, adapt well to farm conditions, but still retain the delicious meat characteristics of wild boar.
