Tsutsumi, H., Morikawa, N., Niki, R. et al.

Abstract

Minipig reaction to humans was influenced by monthly age; second, taming was possible under ordinary conditions of care, but we had to wait until 10 months of age on average for this to occur; third, if simple contact was made during care time, minipigs became tame within less than 4 weeks after the commencement of contact.
