- The Mangalica (also Mangalitsa or Mangalitza) is a Hungarian breed of domestic pig. It was developed in the mid-19th century by crossbreeding Hungarian breeds from Szalonta and Bakony with European wild boar and the Serbian Šumadija breed. The Mangalica pig grows a thick, woolly coat similar to that of a sheep. The only other pig breed noted for having a long coat is the extinct Lincolnshire Curly-coated pig of England.
The blonde Mangalica was developed from older, hardy types of Hungarian pig (Bakonyi and Szalontai) crossed with the European wild boar and a Serbian breed (and later others like Alföldi) in Austro-Hungary (1833). That year, Prince of Serbia Miloš Obrenović sent 12 pigs of the autochthonous Serbian Šumadinka breed (10 sows and two boars) to the Archduke Joseph, Palatine of Hungary for the new breed to be created. Pigs, originally grown at the Prince's Topčider farm near Belgrade, were used to create the Syrmian black lasa breed, or the black mangalica. The development took place in Austro-Hungary (present-day Arad County in Romania) in the early 19th century. The new, quick-growing, "fat-type" hog did not require any special care, so became very popular in Hungary. In 1927, the National Society of Fat-Type Hog Breeders (Mangalicatenyésztők Országos Egyesülete) was established, with the objective of improving the breed.Mangalica was the most prominent swine breed in the region until 1950 (30,000 of them were in Hungary in 1943). Since then, the popularity, as well as the population, of Mangalica has been decreasing, with the rising availability of food from farther away and refrigeration. In 1991 there were less than 200 animals in Hungary. Monte Nevado, a Spanish company began the breeding and recovery of Mangalica, so they were awarded with the Middle Cross of Hungary in 2016. Nowadays, the keeping of Mangalicas has become a popular hobby. Slightly over 7,000 Mangalica sows in Hungary are producing around 60,000 piglets a year.
Apart from Hungary, the Mangalica is present in Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Switzerland.In Serbia, the breed (called mangulica in Serbian) almost died out by the 1980s. In 1998, Mangalica was introduced in Zasavica. They are left to roam free in the reservation, becoming partially feral and cases of breeding with wild boars are known. By the early 2010s, their number grew to 1,000 in Zasavica plus populations kept in the individual farms in the Syrmia and Mačva regions. As both autochthonous Serbian breeds of domesticated pig, Šiška and Mangalica's predecessor Šumadinka, died out, though developed in Hungary, Mangalica is in Serbia considered as the only surviving autochthonous breed.In March 2006, seventeen of the pigs were exported from Austria to the United Kingdom, where they are registered with the British Pig Association.In 2007 some were exported to the United States.

I love the way the piglet is doing a little hairdressing for his mum. Setting her curls.
So cute!!!! I can literally bring them up on my bed😗
This was an awesome video, and good shots of the Wooly Pigs... I loved it...
They are adorable. All pigs are just the cutest things in all sizes. I love them so much. They are smart, curious and have unique personalities. They make fantastic pets, if you have the right facility. The Mangalista is unique. While pigs do have hair, this one has gone all the way. Did you know that you can spin this fiber? Yes, in fact they did so back in Austria when this breed was in its hey day . I am not sure of the micron count but I would think it would be quite course and good for rugs or outdoor items. So cute and sweet. I hope to have a few of them as pets in the future. Thank you for the video. :-)
Not sure how Muslims feel about your comment
@@chicobraz4335 With all due to respect, I don't see how the comment above can hurt anybody's feelings or anything. Maybe you would like to tell us (me) more about it to better understand what you mean. I don't see it as being insensitive at all, she's just stating her opinion and some information on the Mangalitsa pigs.
Thanks for the additional information @Florida PieLady!
Did you ever get any as pets?!??
WOW! What cute and furry piggies! They really do look like sheep! 😆
That's the true curl piglet
Cute video 🐖☺️
Will their next generations crossedbred as well? If you put both crossedbred together and let them mate.
What do they do with the hair? Is it soft or bristly?

Their adorable
Do pigs love mud across the globe?
@Tony Adede, it does seem like they do.
They can't sweat so the mud cools them down. Infact only humans, monkeys and horses can sweat.
@@zeivonzmaneven one Feline species can sweat as well but from their paws and that is the sand cats.
