Sumario:The European wild boar (Sus scrofa ferus) is adapted to the natural conditions of an extensive region in Argentina. Its production has been recently developed in an outdoor system, corn and soybean-based rations. This work makes some observations and provides data on parameters measured between parity and 21 days old, in summer and winter. No differences were found in reproductive traits between both seasons. The litter size was 4.9±2.4 offspring born alive (based in 18 litter gilts), the number of males born was higher than the number of females (1.26:1); the number of teats was around 10 in both sexes. Average weight at birth was 0.923 kg ± 0.254; males were heavier than females. Weight at 21 days of age was 3.01 kg ± 1.33.; no difference between sex was found. These data may be useful in the development production projects on wild boars in captivity in an outdoor system.\n
