Zita | 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…

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…

May | Pig

Mini pig May came from her owner, whose herd of mini pigs was gradually becoming too large. Despite a castrated boar, a lot of piglets were born. It was not possible for him to enlarge the barn. So May became an Aiderbichler and has already made many friends in the Aiderbichler Pig Palace.

Klaus | Pig

Even today, pot-bellied pigs are often given as gifts for good luck or simply kept as pets. However, it is often underestimated that these so-called mini pigs are demanding to keep and should never be kept indoors. Finding a good place to keep them is usually more difficult than expected and so it happens again…

Wilma | Pig

Wilma and Betty had to be relinquished because their owner was no longer able to look after them for health reasons. He wanted them to be well looked after, so Betty and Wilma moved to Gut Aiderbichl in Carinthia. Here they have lots of friends and lots of fun together, plenty of straw and lots…

Alfons | Pig

We receive many requests for help regarding animals in need every day. So we also received a call for help from the six pot-bellied pigs. The caller told us that a couple was separating and the house was now being sold. The animals were therefore to be slaughtered and the date had already been set.…

Bernadette | Pig

Anything that does not conform to the "norm" in breeding and is therefore completely uneconomical has to be "disposed of". But Bernadette was lucky, because she caught the attention of an animal lover who thought she was cute because of her small stature. The man gave her the name Bernadette and raised her. Aiderbichler also…

Fredi | Pig

A horse mafia was broken up in Lower Austria and the animals were freed from appalling conditions. The public was asked to come and get the animals if anyone could or wanted to help. Someone was found for all the animals - but nobody wanted Fredi. A vet became aware of him and stood up…

Fexi | Pig

Fexi, Alf, Bine and Tofu are mini pigs and come from an animal sanctuary that has unfortunately been closed down. Before the pink and black spotted Fexi was taken into the animal sanctuary, she and her fellow pigs lived in a flat where there were soon problems and the animals had to leave. Now Fexi,…
