Abstract
Rearing of pigs in India is predominantly occupied by marginal, small and semi-medium farmers which mostly follow an unorganized system of pig production. Intensive pig production has been grown all around the world and also has quite a potential in India as well. Labor in an organized farm is the most critical resource which influences its profitability of it. Information about manpower utilization for various pig farm operations is essential for the viewpoint of manpower deployment and management. A Time motion study was conducted at Swine Production Farm, IVRI, Izatnagar, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh to find out the existing manpower utilization in newborn management activities for litters belonging to Desi, Landrace, and Crossbred breed dams. Three litters consisting of 7 piglets each were utilized to record the
time spent in different management activities in each group of dams. The time spent cleaning the farrowing pen was significantly higher (p<0.05) for the Desi dam than for the landrace and Crossbred dams. Time spent in attending new-borne activities was also significantly higher (p<0.05) for the Desi dam than the landrace and Crossbred dams.
