Evaluation of average litter size, birth weight, and weaning age in pigs is a crucial indicator of success in pig farming. This study aims to determine the average litter size, birth weight, and weaning age of piglets raised at CV. Rembu Tedeng, Manggarai Regency. The research utilized both primary data, obtained through interviews with farmers, and secondary data provided by the farm owner. The data were analyzed using descriptive methods. The findings reveal that the average litter size for Yorkshire pigs is 7.20 ± 2.17 piglets, Duroc 7.00 ± 1.58 piglets, and Landrace 6.00 ± 3.85 piglets; the average birth weight for Yorkshire pigs is 1.74 ± 0.05 kg, Duroc 1.96 ± 0.09 kg, and Landrace 1.52±0.04 kg; and the average weaning age for Yorkshire pigs is 41.60 ±1.14 days, Duroc 39.60 ± 0.89 days, and Landrace 41.40 ± 1.14 days. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the highest average litter size is found in Yorkshire pigs and the lowest in Landrace; the largest average birth weight is in Duroc pigs and the smallest in Landrace; and the shortest average weaning age is in Duroc pigs and the longest in Yorkshire pigs.
