Abstract
Bali pig is a meat-producing livestock commodity that has great potential to be developed because it has beneficial properties and abilities, but its presence in Bali is very few and only found in certain areas, such as Karangasem, Nusa Penida and Buleleng. The maintenance of Balinese pigs cannot be separated from the socio-cultural customs that exist on the island of Bali. In an effort to develop and increase the productivity of Bali pigs, reproductive performance (pregnancy duration and calving interval) plays an important role, and the productivity of a sow is determined by litter size and farrowing rate in a year. This study aims to determine the reproductive performance used to describe the productivity of Bali pigs in Gerokgak District, Buleleng Regency. The method used is a survey method and direct interviews in the field with livestock farmers/groups using a questionnaire (question list) related to the reproductive performance and productivity of Bali pigs. The data collection was targeted at 100 adult female Bali pigs >10 months. Furthermore, the data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The results showed the average number of reproductive performance as follows: age of sexual maturity 6.23 months, age of sows at first mated 7.74 months, gestational age 106.46 days, liter size 8.73 tails, weaning age 57.2 days , calving interval 180.89 days, forrowing rate 16.76 tails and mortality rate 5.
