Abstract

The study was conducted on 12 apparently healthy adult animals, 6 Zovawk (Mizo local pig) and 6 Large White Yorkshire pig. Both the testes were reddish white in colour. They were elliptical and rounded to oval in shape in Zovawk and Large White Yorkshire pig. The long axis of the testis was obliquely in Zovawk and slightly horizontal in Large White Yorkshire pig. The different biometrical values with regard to weight, length, width and thickness were found to be higher in left side of testes than the right side in Zovawk and Large White Yorkshire Pig. The average Net testicular weight of the right and left testicles of adult Zovawk was 42.85±4.88 gm and 43.93±3.54 gm and that of Large White Yorkshire was 259.57±32.22 gm and 269.52±27.22 gm, respectively. These biometrical parameters were found to be low in Zovawk as compare to Large White Yorkshire pig.
