Size
32 -140 Kilograms
Color
Most micro-pigs are either completely white or completely black, or they have a base colour of either black or white with spots of the opposite color.
Physical Appearance
A pot belly, a swaying back, a pudgy body, a rounded head, a short nose, short legs, a short neck, and a tail with thick hair at the end are typical characteristics that set micro pigs apart from other pigs.
Characteristics and Genetics
They aren’t actually miniature, despite going by several various names (micro pigs, miniature pigs, teacup pigs, etc.). The majority are merely naturally smaller potbellied pigs than domestic farm pigs. The latter can weigh hundreds of kilograms.
When they reach adulthood, micro pigs can actually expand to a size that is reasonable. They can weigh 50 kg or more and grow up to be around five years old.
Micro pigs have been employed in a variety of medical studies, including those involving aging, pulmonology, cardiology, experimental surgery, toxicity, and pharmacology. Micro pigs also grow quickly, are simpler to breed, and have greater genomic diversity than other animal models used in toxicological research.
