Characteristics and Genetics

Pigs of the Moura breed are also referred to as Estrela, Estrelense, Mouro, and Pereira. They came from the southern Brazilian cities of Duroc, Canastra, and Canastrao.

According to scientists, the extended periods of time spent in the wild before people accepted its domestication are what caused it to grow the large snout.

When looking for food, the Moura uses its snout to dig and disturb the ground.

Moura Pigs are regarded as hardy and powerful. Moura Pigs may readily adapt to environmental changes. Despite their obstinacy, Moura Pigs are manageable, can survive on minimal food, and are resistant to sickness.

Pigs from Moura are incredibly intelligent. A Moura Pig has a daily water consumption range of 10 to 14 gallons (37.8 to 53 litres). Moura pigs are omnivores, just like humans,

A Moura pig can live between nine to fifteen years.
