Pigs farming is one of the livestock commodities that have the potential to be developed, so it is necessary to observe age of the sows and litter size to determine the reproductive performance of pigs. This study was conducted in the Jambutua village of Polewali Mandar Regency with descriptive methods by observing directly. A total of 60 sows were surveyed using saturated sampling. The parameters observed were the age of the sows and the litter size. The results showed that the age study of sows in Jambutua Village had an average age of 3 years with 4 times of births. Litter size increases with each birth. The average of litter size was the highest at the fourth parity of 12 piglets, followed by the third parity of 10, the second birth of 8, and the lowest number of piglets per birth, the first birth of 7. The results of the analysis conducted that the parity has a correlation with the age of sows with the significance value (P) is 0.000, and the correlation value (R2) is 39.2%.
