Claims

  • *[Paraphrased derived summary — non-Open-Access source.]* A mini-pig's base diet should be a commercially available, nutritionally balanced pelleted chow formulated for mini-pigs.
  • *[Paraphrased derived summary — non-Open-Access source.]* A balanced diet includes pelleted feed, vegetables and roughage, with minimal fruit or other treats.
  • *[Paraphrased derived summary — non-Open-Access source.]* Mini pigs easily gain weight, so a balanced, high-fibre diet helps maintain a healthy body weight and longevity.
  • *[Paraphrased derived summary — non-Open-Access source.]* Published nutrient requirements for production pigs are a useful reference but must be adjusted for pet mini pigs to prioritize longevity and healthy weight.
