PRESENTATION OUTLINE

THE POT BELLIED PIG

THE POT BELLIED PIG IS A BREED OF DOMESTIC PIG ORIGINATING IN VIETNAM

CHARACTERISTICS

  • The pot bellied pig is smaller than a normal phi although it's heavier
  • They generally weigh between 20-300lb
  • In my opinion they are the ugliest pigs there are

PIGS

  • As they are the same species as normal farmyard pigs and boars, they can crossbreed
  • There are not many pure breed pot belly pigs left these days
  • Most of them live in mountains in in Vietnam
  • They become fertile at 6 months
  • They are fully mature at 6 years old

PIGS

  • They are considered overweight when fat rolls over their eyes or their stomach touches the ground
  • A lot of these pigs get abandoned after they mature
  • When they are young people they are low maintaince but they get bigger and much harder to keep
  • The Vietnamese and German government have been mass producing these pigs for pork production since the 80's
