| From December of 1977 to March of 1999, cytogenetic analyses were carried out with 1,137 boars from South and Southeast areas of Brazil. Three genetic groups of animal were cytogenetically identified: a) 2n=36 classified as pure wild boars, b) 2n=37, hybrid and c) 2n=38, called "Javaporco", ploidy which is equal to domestic pig. Being a subspecies as the domestic pig, the wild boars present facility in this breeding allowing the happening of different genetic groups in herd where the reproductive control is not appropriate. |
