Abstract: Objective To determine the reproductive performance of Bama minipigs, Guizhou minipigs and Banna minipigs reared in Shanghai. Method The data of reproductive performance of Bama minipigs, Guizhou minipigs and Banna minipigs such as puberty age, sexual mature age, breeding age, and so on were combined from farm and laboratory, and then compared the results with one-way ANOVA among three breeds. Result Among ten reproductive parameters of female Bama minipigs, Guizhou minipigs and Banna minipigs, litter weight at birth and survival rate at weaning between Guizhou minipigs and Banna minipigs were significant different (P<0.05). Sexual mature age among the three breeds of minipigs (Bama, Guizhou and Banna minipigs) were significant different (P<0.05); breeding age among the three breeds of minipigs were close, and average body weight at breeding of Bama minipigs was lightest and Bana minipigs was heaviest. Conclusion Determination of the reproductive performance of Bama minipigs, Guizhou minipigs, and Banna minipigs will provide the basis data for genetic breeding of minipigs and background data for laboratory animals industrializing.
