The runt is the smallest piglet in the litter and usually gets stuck with a teat that doesn't produce much milk. If the litter is very large, these piglets cannot compete with their siblings. Many farmers will take these piglets from the litter and hand feed them. 5, record 1, English, - runt%20pig
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Studies of the runt pig have provided insight into the importance of intrauterine nutrition on birth weight and subsequent growth potential. Frequently within a litter of pigs, one or more individuals, referred to as runts, have significantly lower body weights (as much as one-half or one-third) compared with their littermates. 6, record 1, English, - runt%20pig
