Subject field(s)
  • Pig Raising
DEF

A small, weak piglet, as opposed to a normal weight pig.

CONT

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.

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.

Our minds attempt to process everything we see and hear in a way that can help us learn from what we have experienced. From these remindings we gain new insights about the world around us. At Yale, we collected "reminding experiences" of the various people working there... in order to get a better insight into what the reminding process was and how it worked.
