  The bones of the snow pig are taken from its limbs, with all the flesh removed, and then dried in a well-ventilated place. The dried limbs are not very large, with white bone and a slight yellow color, and the cross-section is rich in grease. It is beneficial for dispelling wind and dampness, treating joint and bone pain, and relieving numbness in the limbs.

  Snow pig oil is best captured during the snow pig's hibernation. Their caves often have multiple entrances, but only one entrance is left open during capture, and the others are sealed off. Then, sulfur, chili powder, or water is used to smoke them out. At this time, the cave entrance is covered with a sack, and they can be captured. After being captured and killed, the fat is taken out from the abdomen, placed inside its stomach, and hung up to air dry.
