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…

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…

Markus | 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…

Nitty Gritty | Pig

Animals live what we humans long for. Their loyalty to their partners lasts a lifetime. So Nitty Gritty was confused and unsure when he suddenly found himself at the butcher. His beloved owner had turned his back on him. Nitty Gritty was to be killed, "disposed of". His meat was worthless. As his last hour…

Max | Pig

Max, a mini pig, and his partner Biggy, surprised their owner when he discovered five little mini piglets in the barn one day. He had been under the impression that Max had been castrated. Well, it was different. It was impossible to enlarge the enclosure, so Max and his Biggy became Aiderbichler mini pigs. With…

Pepe | Pig

Pepe, Picasso, Rosalie, Hugo and Greta were handed in to the butcher by their owners. They no longer enjoyed the animals and so they were to be killed.

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.

The animal lover who chose the three Göttingen mini pigs loved her animals very much and also tried to look after them.

An animal lover fulfilled her dream of having micro pigs and took Flo and Lisi into her home.

A desperate woman contacted us and asked for help. She had rescued pot-bellied pigs and placed them on her farm. Now the sows had given birth but she couldn't keep all the animals. So she asked us to take on at least Franky, Babe, Bonnie and Clyde. We could not give an immediate commitment as…
