L’elevage porcin en milieu paysan, une activite economiquement rentable, est peu exploree au Benin. En vue de determiner les caracteristiques des producteurs et la structure des cheptels porcins au Sud du Benin, une enquete transversale et retrospective couplee aux observations directes des cheptels a ete conduite aupres de 105 eleveurs de porcs. Les resultats ont montre que les eleveurs appartenaient a trois grands groupes sociolinguistiques dont les Fon, les Adja et les Yoruba, et etaient domines par les artisans et les agriculteurs. Ils etaient en majorite des hommes et chefs de menage. Leur âge a varie entre 33 et 58 ans et leur experience entre 10 et 20 ans. La motivation des eleveurs etait liee a la rusticite et la productivite des porcs. La race de porc majoritairement elevee etait le porc local. La taille du troupeau variait entre 10 et 23 tetes. Les cheptels regorgeaient des porcs de tous les stades physiologiques a part les verrats qui etaient en nombre reduit. L’elevage porcin est l’apanage de presque tous les groupes sociolinguistiques et socioprofessionnels au Sud du Benin. Un appui politique au profit de cette activite sera un grand atout pour la reduction de la pauvrete au Benin. © 2017 International Formulae Group. All rights reserved.

To determine the characteristics of producers and the structure of pig herds in South of Benin, a transverse and retrospective investigation coupled with direct observations of pig herds was led using 105 pig breeders. Results showed that breeders belonged to three great sociolinguistic groups comprising Fon, Adja and Yoruba, and were dominated by craftsmen and farmers. Breeders were in majority men and heads of household. Their age varied between 33 and 58 years and their practice between 10 and 20 years. Breeders’ motivation was related to the rusticity and the productivity of pigs. The local pig was the mostly used breed. The herds size varied between 10 and 23 heads. Herds were composed of pigs at different physiological stages except boars that were of reduced number. Pigs breeding is a prerogative activity of almost all sociolinguistic and socio-professional groups in South of Benin. Therefore, a political support of this activity will be a large asset for the reduction of poverty in Benin. © 2017 International Formulae Group. All rights reserved.
