The study was carried out on 24 Ghungroo sows kept under controlled breeding
programme at instructional farm of College of Veterinary Sciences, Central Agricultural
University, Aizawl, Mizoram to observe the performances of piglets and sows. The study
revealed that the litter size was highest in second parity and subsequently declined till fourth
parity. The body weight was also lowest in the fourth parity. ADG was highest in the fourth
week and lowest in the first week. The weekly body weight showed a progressive increase
in the body weight. The overall mortality was 29.6 % and it was highest in 1st to 2nd week.
Key words: Ghungroo, Performance, Intesive housing.
