pet pigs and pot-bellied pigs

Mini pigs or pot-bellied pigs near the house guarantee that there’s never a dull moment. Especially if they’re healthy and enjoying themselves. Good care and the right food ensure that the animals are content and explore their surroundings with that healthy dose of curiosity. Garvo has especially for these pet and pot-bellied pigs two kinds of feed, the 1030 alfamix swine and the 480 pet swine pellets extra. The feeds are specifically made for good digestion and correct body maintenance of pigs and contribute to a pig’s long and healthy life.

muesli or pellet

1030 Alfamix swine is a muesli with a rich mixture of vegetables and other natural ingredients. The feed contains whole corns, so that the pigs have to chew well. When chewing, the feed mixes with the saliva, and so the digestive process begins at the right place, namely in the mouth. 1030 Alfamix swine also contains lecithin to promote the burning of fats, so that the animals have less chance of becoming too heavy. The added oils ensure a healthy coat with a soft ‘pink’ radiance. Through the supplemented vegetable oils in 1030 alfamix swine your pig gets a healthy coat and a vital appearance. Because of the composition of balanced nutricious fibres, this is the perfect feed for pet pigs kept in the house.

480 Pet swine pellet extra consists of pressed chunks. Chunks are good for animals which eat selectively; if they only choose to eat the tastiest bits of the feed, they won’t get enough nutrients in their system.
