In this article we will try to explain to you the main difference between the main domestic pigs, namely the dwarf pig and the miniature pig.
The dwarf pig is considered to be any pig smaller than the "farm pig" (farm pigs of the Durock and Piétrain breeds can weigh several hundred kilos), among the dwarf pigs we can classify the Vietnamese pig, as you will have understood, the dwarf pig can therefore exceed 70 kilos. mini pig vs farm pig
The miniature pig or micro pig is a pig resulting from genetic selection manipulation over several generations and you will find them in very few farms. It is the smallest pig that can be adopted today. The first to look into this breed were breeders from the United States and Canada. These pigs weigh between 20 and 30 kilos or less once adult!
BE CAREFUL some people will sell you a Vietnamese pig for a miniature pig... Ask to see the parents (adults if possible).
Also BE CAREFUL to respect the diet of your pig whether it is dwarf or micro otherwise it will very quickly exceed the STANDARDS!
