Pig glossary

Splay leg

It is a kind of congenital defect suffered by some young piglets during the first days after their birth. The piglets affected by it show a defect in the development that causes a certain degree of weakness in the limbs, so they are splay legged. Most commonly, this happens in the hind limbs, although it is also possible to see it in the fore limbs (or in both of them at the same time).
