The Mangalitza Pig Breeder`s Assiocation in Austria (IGWÖ), which is non profit-oriented, sees itself as an umbrella organization for Austria´s Mangalitza Pig Breeders and will assume all tasks relevant to this field.

The IGWÖ was founded as a Recording Organization of the Society for the Conservation of Endangered Livestock Breeds in Austria (VEGH) in autumn of 2000, operates nationwide and acts as contact for all questions from breeders both in Austria and abroad. The aim of the association is the systematic improvement of the breeding populations of pedigreed Red-, Blond- and Swallow-Bellied Mangalitza Pigs in Austria. A Mangalitza Pig register is kept and talks, meetings, excursions and a breed survey are organised all over Austria.

The activities of the association are frequently puplished (Mangalitza-Report) and will be financed from membership fees, the proceeds of events, donations and funds.
