Little Xiang Pig is a miniature pig breed, and rarely weighs more than 30 kg (pet Xiang Pig is generally no more than 20 kg), which is unique to China in the world. The average body weight of 6-month-old boars is 14.2 kg, body length 65 cm, body height 33 cm, chest circumference 55 cm; 8-month-old sows weight 30 kg, body length 70 cm, body height 47 cm, chest circumference 73 cm.

Little Xiang Pig generally refers to Bama Xiang Pig, also known as "Mini Pig", known as "Qi Li Xiang" and "Shi Li Xiang". It originated in the mountainous areas of ethnic minorities. In ancient times, although there was breeding, but the quantity was very small, it only made "tribute" for imperial relatives and aristocrats to enjoy, and people were not allowed to eat it, thus limiting the development of fragrant pigs. After liberation, it was on the verge of extinction. It was not until the late 1980s that the national livestock and poultry resources survey was discovered, and only a few dozen remained at that time.
