Duroc pig is an older breed of American domestic
pig that forms the basis for many mixed-breed commercial
hogs. Duroc pigs are red, large-framed, medium length, and muscular, with
partially drooping ears, and tend to be one of the least aggressive of all the
swine breeds. They also have an excellent rate of gain.
Durocs have
considerable variation in color. An acceptable color may range from a very
light golden, almost yellow color, to a very dark red that approaches mahogany.
The red is a very practical color that suits pork producers, and since it is a
solid color there is no concern about fancy points of proper markings. Durocs
have a medium length and slight dish of the face. The ears should be drooping
and should not be held erect.
