I am also curious about pre islamic turk diet
I heard and read many rumors that chinese avoid drinking milk because they associate it with the nomadic culture ..
Also I guess pig farming is not compatible with nomadic lifestle since they are farm animals .I am not sure if people can herd pigs place to place also they like mud /water..when there is no rice farm or mud pig wont be favorite lifestock ..Also Chinese eat pork so same way nomadic herders might avoid food of enemy ..
Also for poultry,ducks ,chicken ..did we raise them?
we were drinking before islam and religion didn't change it a lot..I think pork was not a part of our diet when we have lots of livestock easier to take care and you can't drink pig milk or use their hair..not very productive animal

Animal husbandry in Mongolia .. In 1985 there were 22,485,500 head of livestock, of which 58.9 percent were sheep; 19.1 percent, goats; 10.7 percent, cattle; 8.8 percent, horses; and 2.5 percent, camels. In addition, pigs, poultry, and bees were raised. But according to "Assemblies of God" -God wants more pigs in Mongolia What a weird God really.. ::)very obsessed with pigs banning pork meat one group of people, meanwhile he connects some others to raise pigs to serve him ..

Hungarians have successfully herded pigs. It isn't true that pigs cannot be herded. Good Hungarian swineherd blows his horn and the pigs all line up. I think it depends upon breed.

But I wonder if the early Magyars herded pigs as well.

Pigs can get sunburned, this is one reason they like mud - as a sunscreen. Pigs (like people) can't produce vitamin C. They need a mixed diet to avoid scurvy. The ancient Israelites did not have pigs as they lived in arid hills. The Philistines down on the coastal plains kept pigs. Perhaps that their enemies were the "pig eaters" may have been the origin of a national identity of not being pig eaters - which later became a religious rule.

It is strange that there isnt really a logic answer for it. Kinda mysterious.

It's simply because of geographical and climactic reasons.

Cattle and sheep can eat and survive on a diet of grass, pigs can not. Pigs and chickens are much more efficient at converting protein in the vegetable matter they eat into meat. The ratio is about 7:1 (7 kilos of protein in the feed to add 1 kilo of animal protein) for cattle and 2:1 for pigs. This means that it is much more efficient in factory farms to feed pigs or chickens grain (like soya beans or maize) than to feed this to cattle or sheep. Cattle, sheep and goats should be on pasture lands. Druzhina Illustrations of Costume & Soldiers
