A sow in Quanzhou, Fujian province, gave birth to a litter of 28 piglets last month.
Although two piglets died four days after being born, the remaining 26 are healthy. Wang, the owner, has to feed them in two different groups each day.
She said the sow was very heavy before it became pregnant, weighing more than 200 kg. After it became pregnant, it had a large belly and had difficulty walking.
