Murom Swine

a meat and lard breed of hogs developed in Murom Raion, Vladimir Oblast by selection and autosexing of a domestic breed. It was established in 1957. Murom swine are large, sturdy, and well built. Mature boars weigh 250–280 kg; sows weigh 200–220 kg. A litter consists of ten or 11 shoats; the sow’s milk production is 60–70 kg. When fattened for meat, a pig at six or seven months of age will weigh 90–100 kg and produce high-quality bacon on the basis of 4—4.5 feed units per kg of weight gain. Murom swine are used for commercial cross-breeding with Large Whites and other breeds. They are raised in the Vladimir, Gorky, Tula, Moscow, and Kostroma oblasts of the RSFSR.
