Mazuri Mini-Pig Elder is a low-energy, high-fiber diet specifically formulated to maintain less-active adult pigs at 1-1/2 years and mature pigs at 3 years of age or older. As the activity level of the pig decreases, all of the nutritional requirements decline. Protein and energy are two of those nutrients. Mazuri Mini-Pig Elder is lower in protein, higher in fiber and lower energy than Mazuri Mini-Pig Active Adult in order to maintain the pot-bellied pig for a long, healthy life. A feeding level of 1-2% of body weight should be adequate for maintaining body weight without putting on excess fat. Feed this diet to pigs following Mazuri Mini-Pig Active Adult and feed for 3-5 days to help adjust animals to new feed. Again, many factors affect the intake requirement of the pig, so daily required levels will vary.

Nutritional requirements of adult mini-pigs depend on many factors including genetics, environmental temperature, other food available and level of activity.

Mazuri Mini-Pig Youth can be fed on a free-choice basis as the young pigs will start nibbling on it. Usually this occurs from the time the pigs are around 7 days old. It can be fed as a complete ration until the pigs are 16 weeks old. This product was specifically formulated to give the babies a healthy start, ensuring proper growth and development early in their life cycle.
