Guinea hogs are a small farm pig that have historically been kept on homesteads because they are docile, easy keepers, produce pork in a smaller package, fare well on forage, and keep snakes away from the homestead. Farmers still find these attributes valuable today. Guinea Hogs are listed at critically endangered by ALBC; American Livestock Breeds Conservancy; www.albc-usa.org
This breed is known by the terms Guinea Hog, Guinea Forest Hog, and American Guinea hog.
