  1. Pigs are slaughtered at different ages. Generally they can be divided into piglets, which are 1.5 to 3 months old; the fattening pigs, intended for pork and bacon, which are 4 months to one year old; and finally the older pigs, such as sows (female pigs) and boars (uncastrated male pigs).

A potbelly is not good eating. You do not eat it.

Answer:

The potbelly pig was originally bred in Vietnam as a food animal. They reach maturity between the age of 4 or 5 years, standing 16-20" tall and weighing 130-150 pounds. The average life span is 10 to 15 years, or possibly a little longer. Like most pigs they should dress out at 30% to 40% of the live weight. A local abattoir should be contracted for the killing and dressing (it's messy) to ensure the best use and recovery.

A pig is usually slaughtered between six and ten months of age, depending on what it is used for (bacon, sausages, pork etc), the breed, and growth rate.

Sometimes they slaughter pigs when they are 2 months old, or when they are 1 year old. It depends on what type of meat they were raised to produce.

Depending on their diet and care, they can live 10 to 18 years. Do not get a pot belly pig unless you are in it for the long haul. Research first.

Your guinea pig is 16 months old. Can you breed from her?

Oh yes you can. Guinea pigs can breed at a very early age. Your pet can handle being a parent at its age. I'm Charlotte and I'm editing the answer above because who ever wrote it doesn't have a clue about the right answer. (no offence). if you breed a guinea pig over 6 months old her pelvis bones would have welded together and her and her babies could die unless a vet get to them very quickly. the age to breed a guinea pig is between 4-6 months. no sooner no later. and that's the correct answer. from Charlotte

Is there a certain age you should not breed guinea pigs?

Yes,never breed a guinea pig (female)for the first time if she is over 7 months old.If you do her pelvic bones won't open and both she and the babies will die unless you take her to the vet for a c-section.Also don't breed a (female) guinea pig after she is 3 years old.She is too old at that age to be caring for babies.
