Content: Feeding and Nutrition
Nutrition is an essential element of your pig’s growth and development plan. Pigs are prone to disease, so it’s important to do as much as possible to build up their immune system early. If you buy a pig at a pig sale, you may wish to give them medicated feed for the first two weeks. A young starter pig should receive about 25 lbs of quality pig feed each week. Water should be clean and plentiful at all times as it promotes healthy eating and is crucial to the animal’s growth. Training Your Pig
To get your pig ready for a show, you’ll need to both train and exercise it. Walk your pig each day to build up their stamina. You can also begin working with your pig using a pig whip to steer them in different directions. Tap the pig on the front half of its body as a signal to turn one way or another. Grooming and Appearance
You’ll need to pay particular attention to your pig’s appearance if you hope to have success in shows.
