Needle size for pig?

the pig site says 1"    19g but I'm having trouble getting one locally (all small animal vets) and ex-eri pig looks a bit quiet again...... :-\

I get my needles online from Fane Valley Stores, Mole Valley or Hyperdrug etc, as I find our local agri stores don't stock all the sizes you might need.
