Black mangalica has become a protected, indigenous breed
The black mangalica was recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture in June 2019 as a stand-alone breed, and an amendment to the zootechnical regulation issued at the end of January 2020 added it to the list of protected indigenous breeds – origo wrote.

Mangalica pigs previously had four color variants, as evidenced by literary documents. Of these varieties, black mangalica appeared between 1860 and 1890, but was breeded at a lower rate than the blonde, red, or swallowtail. According to various publications and references, black mangalica, considered to be the most resistant, disappeared from public farming in the 1920s and was therefore declared extinct by professionals.
