Kune kune pigs, known for their docile nature and small size, have specific dietary requirements to ensure their health and well-being. Their omnivorous diet naturally includes a variety of forage such as grasses and roots, alongside commercially available pig feed. Careful attention to nutritional balance is crucial, preventing obesity and maintaining optimal condition.
Proper nutrition significantly impacts the health and longevity of these animals. Historically, their foraging behavior in New Zealand pastures provided a substantial portion of their diet. Understanding appropriate food sources assists in mimicking their natural feeding patterns, contributing to enhanced welfare and reduced reliance on solely manufactured feed.
