A study was carried out to investigate the morphological and biochemical characteristics of local pig populations in three agro-ecological areas of Cameroon from June to September 2018. Morphological and morphometric parameters were measured in 300 pigs (147 males and 153 females) aged 6 to 8 months old. Phenotype characterization of local pigs showed diversity as follows: concave head profile, black coat colour type, plain coat colour pattern, prick ear type, projecting upwards, a long and thin snout type and straight tail. Analysis of variance showed that all quantitative parameters measured in the pigs of the three agro-ecological zones were considered. Comparisons between sexes also revealed differences in some features in some regions. The growth-related parameters were strongly correlated,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
