Pig weight and body size are important indicators for producers. Due to the increasing scale of pig farms, it is increasingly difficult for farmers to quickly and automatically obtain pig weight and body size. Due to this problem, we focused on a multiple output regression convolutional neural network (CNN) to estimate pig weight and body size. DenseNet201, ResNet152 V2, Xception and MobileNet V2 were modified into multiple output regression CNNs and trained on modeling data. By comparing the estimated performance of each model on test data, modified Xception was selected as the optimal estimation model. Based on pig height, body shape, and contour, the mean absolute error (MAE) of the model to estimate body weight (BW), shoulder width (SW), shoulder height (SH), hip width (HW), hip width (HH), and body length (BL) were 1.16 kg, 0.33 cm, 1.23 cm, 0.38 cm, 0.66 cm, and 0.75 cm, respectively. The coefficient of determination (R2) value between the estimated and measured results was in the range of 0.9879–0.9973. Combined with the LabVIEW software development platform, this method can estimate pig weight and body size accurately, quickly, and automatically. This work contributes to the automatic management of pig farms.
