However, finally about a Hungarian mangalitza not forgotten. Thanks to the efforts of specialists VNIISK the breed was successfully restored. Hungarian breeders didn't even have to make crosses with any other species of pigs. For the recovery of the population was just caught pigs of one of the half-wild herds of mangalica. After six months of fattening the live weight of the pigs reached approximately 350 kg. Some instances have an even weight 500 kg. With all this animals fully retained genes the old original breed.
