Keeping white pigs white

Post by futurepigbreeder » Sun Oct 21, 2018 9:05 pm

I have a purebred Yorkshire gilt that is being kept in a dirt pen (the only option) I have it covered in shavings but she still roots into the dirt and therefore gets stained, right now she’s being washed every 4 days and rinsed and lotion with lusters pink everyday but her hair is still dulled and stained on her legs and neck. Does anyone have any suggestions to get rid of these and keep them gone? Thanks :D

Wash her as often as you can and prevent mud in the pen if possible. If her color is still not improved enough use "white out" it can be bought at sullivans supply. You may want to check the rules of your fair as it may be illegal at some shows.
