The common approach to feeding modern breeds of hogs is feed them until they're full.
Not so with the American Guinea Hogs.
These guys need some portion control. Without it they become obese.
AGH were bred to forage and seek out their food. They were also designed to grow slow.
This makes them a prime candidate for the slow food movement and pasture based farming.
On the contrary, this makes them a very poor candidate for being raised in confinement and on "all you can eat" grain based diets (they need a lower level of protein then other hogs). When they are raised in this manner the hogs become obese, struggle to move freely and you loose the highly sought after quality of AGH pork....
