    In the province of Tungurahua, the phenotypic characteristics of tall adult Creole pigs (Sus scrofa domestica) were evaluated through zoometry, by determining 17 Zoometric Measures, 8 Phaneroptic Characteristics and 9 Zoometric Indices and the definition of the ecotypes of Creole pigs in the province, where Creole pigs from three cantons of the province were sampled, in Ambato in the parishes of Pishilata, Ambatillo, Quisapincha, Pilahuin, Juan Benigno Vela, in the canton of Pelileo in the parishes of Chiquicha and Salasaka, in the canton of Quero. in the San Vicente, Shaushi and Punachisag parishes. The total number of animals sampled was 47 pigs, of which 57.45% were males and 42.55% females, the average age was 12.02 ±7.75 months and the average live weight was 50. 55±1.99 kilograms. In the Zoometric Measurements, means of (LCZ) 26.55 ±3.97 cm were obtained; (ACZ) of 16.84 ±3.40cm; (HL) 9.57 ±2.3 cm; (AH) 9.75 ±2.07 cm; (LGR) 25.39 ±5.48 cm; (AGR) 17.63±3.19 cm; (DBC) 19.27 ±7.01 cm; (DDE) 33.14±7.26cm; (ALC) 61.60 ± 11.02 cm; (ALG) 66.42 ± 12.95 cm; (LC) 93.04 ±17.41; (TDF) 94.67±17.97 cm; (PCA) 16.28 ±2.93 cm; (BA) 17.60 ± 4.19 cm; (AO) 15.09 ±3.15 cm; (LJ) 33.69 ± 6.20 cm; (LP) of 33.70 ±6.45 cm. In the determination of the zoometric indices, it is determined that the Creole pigs in Tungurahua are animals, eumetric, brachycephalic because there is a greater percentage of animals with a concave, subconcave and, to a lesser extent, ultraconcave profile, they are also mesoprosopios, Longitudilinear, they have more elongated bodies, they have a rump with convex lines, and a longilinear thorax. 7 Ecotypes were found, such as the Creole pig with mamellas and a white line on its head, the reddish pig, the reddish pig with black spots, the black pig with abundant hair and bristles, the pig with few bristles and the Lampiño pig.
