“…The RBC of hybrid, NIP and BC were not significant varied from each other from the study. This finding was contrary to findings of De et al (2013) [23] where the PCV values of local pigs of India were significantly different from that of the exotic pigs. In this study, values for RBC, PCV and Hb were observed to be within normal range.…”

“…The significant effect of breed on platelet trait was in line with findings of De et al (2013) [23] where the variation between the local breed from India and exotic pigs were significant. Platelet trait in this study for NIP and Hybrid were within the normal range (but that of Hybrid was higher than that of NIP) while the backcross value was lower than the normal range for the domestic pigs.…”

This work investigated on the presence of African swine fever virus (ASFV) in Nigerian Indigenous pig (NIP), its hybrid and backcross using Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screening method on the extracted DNA and haematological screening from these pig bloods. Pig populations selected from Southwestern Nigeria were used for this study. ASFV infected blood samples collected from the University of Ibadan were used as positive control. White blood cell count was significantly highest in hybrid (31.27 ± 1.79 × 10 3 /µl) and higher in backcross (27.71 ± 2.01 × 10 3 /µl) compared with NIP (18.16 ± 3.01 × 10 3 /µl) for NIP, and while Lymphocyte count was found to be highest in hybrid (86.17% ± 1.95%) and lowest in backcross (56.23% ± 1.17%). The PAS primers (PAS1F: 5'-ATG GAT ACC GAG GGA ATA GC-3' and PAS2R: 5'-CTT ACC GAT GAA AAT GAT AC-3') amplified the 278 bp of ASFV in the DNA extracted from NIP, its hybrids and backcross. In conclusion, this study has shown that NIP, its hybrid and backcross have ASFV in their genome in an ASF-prone environment and thus confirming the continuous prevalence of ASF in Southwest Nigeria. This is an ongoing research where the severity and virulence of the virus has to be measured.

“…Pigs constitute a major share (27.26%) of the total livestock of Andaman and Nicobar islands and play a vital role in the livelihood of the native people of these Islands (De et al 2014). Two genetic groups of domestic pigs namely Nicobari pig and Andaman Desi pig are available in these Islands (De et al 2013). The population of the pig breeds has reduced drastically over the last decade and immediate conservation effort is the need of the hour.…”

Nicobari pig and Andaman Desi pig are indigenous pig germplasm of Andaman and Nicobar islands, India. Over the last two decades, the pig breeds witnessed a rapid decline in population, necessitating immediate characterization and conservation. The present study depicts the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Nicobari pig and Andaman Desi pig. The mitogenomes of both the breeds encode 37 genes including 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNAs, and two ribosomal RNA genes. In addition, a control region (D-loop) was also present. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Nicobari is phylogenetically close to Banna mini and Breed I pig, whereas Andaman Desi pig is close to Mong cai and Jinhua pig breeds. The results of the study will be helpful for formulating of conservation strategy of the native swine breeds. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…The measured values in the Yorkshire and Mangalitza breeds gradually increased from spring to autumn. De et al (2013) examined selected hematological parameters in four pig breeds in India andaman wildpig, pig Nicobar andamandesi pig, Large White Yorkshire (LWY). A significantly (p<0.05) higher concentration of WBC, RBC and hemoglobin was measured in Andaman wild pigs compared to other breeds.…”

Changes which are constantly brought by the transformation of our agriculture, as well as the effort to be involved in the EU market economy and change priorities in various areas of our economy. They can be summarized in the quality, productive health and economy. Blood count does not only change in pigs with age, but it also depends on the method of pig housing, feed and thermal regime. Changes in the haematological status of the organism eventually affects the quality of meat. This study focuses on the hematological status of selected pig breeds including Yorkshire, which is reared in conventional farming and Mangalitsa, which is reared as ecologicallive stock, including more specific characteristics of the studied breeds. The values observed between breeds differ in higher numbers regarding white blood cells and platelets which were found in the Yorkshire breed. In relation to the seasons, we found a gradual increase in values from spring to autumn. Observed differences in the haematological profile can be used in the assessment of animal health in relation to physiological changes in the internal environment during the various stages of life concerning livestock breeding.
