How to Care for Your Pig (source)

1. Provide a clean, dry, draft-free shelter for pigs. Despite their reputation, pigs need clean living quarters.

2. Provide bedding, such as straw or wood shavings, for warmth if temperature drops below 16 C

3. Provide water for your pig to lie in if temperatures are above 27 C. This is how pigs cool themselves.

4. Feed your pig using a clean feeder located where the pig is unable to soil its food.

5. Provide fresh drinking water at all times. Keep water in a large water trough that can't be turned over, or purchase a self-watering barrel.

6. Check pigs weekly for lice or mange mites. Dust with lice dust if necessary. Check with local feed store for a good brand.

7. Worm pig at least once before you show it. You can use a wormer you mix in feed.

8. Check with veterinarian about vaccinations your pig needs.

9. Walk your pig around its pen to build muscle tone - something judges look for in show pigs.

Tips

Feed and water your pig daily - twice daily is a good feeding practice.

Give your pig attention. Pigs love to be scratched and played with.
