Belana | 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…

Jakob | Pig

The two unequal friends Jakob the pot-bellied pig and Hansi the gander enjoyed their lives to the full. Their owner gave them lots of love and both were even allowed to sleep in the house. But now the family had to move out of the house and couldn't take their two friends with them. Desperate…

Daniel | 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…

Roberta | Pig

In order for people to find cheap pork on the shelves, the animals have to live in the worst possible conditions. For example, the pigs are fed to slaughter maturity within 6 months, which is only possible through one-sided breeding, little exercise and intensive feeding. The animals live crammed together in very confined spaces. A…

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.

Alfred | Pig

Alfred comes from a fattening farm. Until that day, he had never known cuddles and sunlight. When Alfred saw sunlight for the first time, many people were standing around him at a fair. The aim was to guess Alfred's weight. Whoever was right was rewarded with a sum of money - and a plate of…

Max | Pig

A neighboring veterinary office asked Gut Aiderbichl for help. They were confiscating six pot-bellied pigs and needed to find a new home for them. The animals were in a very bad way. We initially had to refuse as we were already at the limit of our capacity. But thanks to the help of our veterinary…

Schnucki | Pig

Schnucki the boar and his mother Helene were promised by their owners that they would be allowed to stay until the end of their natural lives. They used to be pig farmers, but gave them up because their daughter wanted to restructure the farm at home. When they were finally taken away by the butcher,…

Bine | Pig

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

Fredi | 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.…

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…
