West French White
The West French White, or Blanc de l'Ouest in French references, is a French pig breed associated with western France. It is generally described as a large white lop-eared pig once used for regional pork production. Like many older European white breeds, it has been overshadowed by more intensive commercial lines, so its modern status may be rare, historical, or tied to conservation sources.
Anyone working with West French White pigs should confirm whether they are dealing with living pure stock, historical material, or crosses carrying the old name. Management would be similar to other large white farm pigs: dry housing, good ventilation, balanced feed, and careful farrowing support. Breeding goals should include soundness, fertility, and the traits described in French breed resources. Because white lop-eared pigs can be visually similar, provenance is essential.
