The mother pork itself can be eaten. The commonly known mother pork is the meat that is specially used for breeding as a sow, and is eliminated when old. Is the meat of the old sow edible? How does the mother pork taste?
So why don't we use the old mother pork? The reason is very simple. The mother pork is poor in nutrition and has no fragrance. What's more, the content of immunoglobulin, which is harmful to human body, is higher in the old mother pork, especially in the sows before giving birth. Eating sow meat is easy to cause poor preparation, hemoglobinuria, hemolytic jaundice and other diseases. It must not be eaten.
The growth time of old sows is too long, the fiber is thick, the taste is not good, and because the growth time is too long, it is easy to breed parasites. It is also said that many old sows can't produce piglets because they are ill, so they are slaughtered.
To sum up, the old mother pork can be eaten, but it's not good for the body and the taste is not good. It's better to eat less.
