Solution(By Examveda Team)

Puberty in pigs comes at 6 - 8 months.
Sexual maturity is reached by both the male and female pig at about 6-8 months of age. At this time there is an inflection point on the weight curve. The female pig (sow) is ready to breed (reaches puberty) at 6 months of age and will show signs of being in heat.
The period from 6 - 8 months to about 18 months of age is called adolescence. After 18 months of age the weight curve is flattened.
