Bella | Pig

Around 3 million pigs are kept in Austria alone. We already know a lot about their physiological needs such as nutrition, reproduction and the conditions that lead to a maximum meat yield during fattening. But pigs are also more than just meat suppliers. How do pigs think? How do they organize their social environment and…

Lisi | Pig

An animal lover fulfilled her dream of having micro pigs and took Flo and Lisi into her home. The very cuddly and intelligent animals were originally bred specifically for experimental purposes and only later found their way into our households as pets. However, problems arose and she was forced to give up her friends. The…

Alexander | Pig

Our pot-bellied pig Frieda at Gut Aiderbichl Iffeldorf unexpectedly became a mom. Colleagues had discovered the little surprises during a morning inspection. The culprit could only have been one: pot-bellied pig Eber Dennis. The cheeky little fellow has been living at Gut Aiderbichl Iffeldorf since December 2019. When he was admitted, we received veterinary confirmation…

Ölsa | Pig

Ölsa lived as a woolly pig together with Ölke, Ölfi, and the boar Hölmut in an animal welfare association, which unfortunately was dissolved and most of the animals needed a new home. The four woolly pigs are very accustomed to each other, have always been able to live outdoors, and can now continue to do…

Elisabeth | Pig

Nature is simply wonderful and the animals surprise us again and again. Despite being properly examined and castrated by the vets, the pot-bellied pig Bianca became pregnant and gave birth to the piglets Elisabeth, Karla, Curie, Annett, Kim and Tobias. Of course, they too can stay at Gut Aiderbichl and enjoy their lives to the…

Julia | Pig

Animal lovers contacted us and told us about 9 Göttingen miniature pigs that had been in the laboratory since 2019. Retirement was just around the corner, but no one seemed to want to take care of nine tame pigs. The Gut Aiderbichl team consulted and a decision was quickly made: The pigs had to be…

Wendy | Pig

Little Wendy is one of the daughters of the mini pigs Max and Biggy. Such a young mini piglet is even smaller than small and incredibly cute. That's sometimes the tricky thing: they don't stay so adorably small, and the garden gets dug up just like a domestic pig. Wendy is still in the care…

With the help of the documentary series "GewissensBISSE? Das Fleischexperiment", the TV station VOX took a critical look at its environment.

Betty | Pig

Betty the woolly pig had to be relinquished because her owner was no longer able to look after her for health reasons. He wanted her to be well looked after, so Betty moved to Gut Aiderbichl in Carinthia. Here she has lots of friends and lots of fun together, plenty of straw and lots of…

Leopold | Pig

Leopold, just a few weeks old, was raffled off as the main prize at a poultry market and would have ended up as a suckling pig. Before that, he lived in a bleak pig farm with a callous owner. The winners were unable to keep him and passed him on to a small farmer who…
