The "runt" is the smallest and/or least active of the litter. It may be weak or sickly, or may just be the slowest-growing of the bunch. Some runts die young while others live long, healthy lives.

∙ 13y agoSows usually have 10 or 11 baby pigs in a litter, and very often one of these is smaller than the rest and gets pushed away from the sow's teats by the bigger piglets. If left on his own, this little runt probably won't survive, since either the sow or the other piglets will harass it until it dies of starvation or injury.
However, a runt can be raised by hand and will eventually grow just as well as his brothers and sisters.
