Biological information of the pig.

This article really lacks biological information about the pig. The article seems to stress eating/or not eating and raising it for food. Look up sheep and you will find long sections of behavior and intelligence, diet, reproduction, health, etc. This article about pigs is severely lacking in my opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mylittlezach (talk • contribs) 01:04, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

I agree. See Domestic Pig, Wild Pig, and Suidae. Chrisrus (talk) 07:20, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Relationship with Humans section should include medicine

There is a long & rich history of pigs in human medicine. Seems like it warrants entry in this section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.107.39.177 (talk) 18:41, 18 October 2012 (UTC) Added section "use in human health care" Bruceki (talk)

Mixing up domestic piga with wild boars

The discussion on feral domestic pig belongs on this page. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 23:52, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

SOW

the sow is evidently a female domestic pig used for multiplication - please correct me when I am wrong. - At least this is the word's meaning when an Austrian or Bavarian farmer speaks of his "Sau" (this is the German spelling of sow, the pronunciation is identical in English and in German) - Moreover, Biologists use the German word Sau in a wider sense for any female pig independently from the race. - I don't know if this applies to the English word sow too. - There should be a wiki page for SOW and also a there should be a German wiki page for SAU clearing the usages of these words. - It would also be worth knowing whether the word came from German to English in early times or whether this word migrated to English during the evolution of industrial agriculture.

Nigel Pig

The Nigel pigs are big pigs that live Italy,Malta and France. Their habitats are Forests,Hills and Swamps. They are Omrivores they eat every thing from fruit to meat and even dead animals. They stay in packs to avoid predators sutch as Lynx and birds of prey. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.203.80.169 (talk) 17:49, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Pigs in Biomedical Research - Section Needed

Pigs are used in biomedical research for a variety of reasons. People who access the pig page in Misplaced Pages would benefit from reading about the discoveries that have been made using pig models of human disease. There are many citations that can direct the reader to more information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nanodudek (talk • contribs) 20:44, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

I agree - pigs are often used in scientific studies, probably far more than people think. Perhaps we should try to get consistency here. We already have articles on the Laboratory mouse and Laboratory rat - I think we should start Laboratory pig with a link/summary section on the Pig article. If you provide the sources you mentioned, I can start a stub/article we can all build on.DrChrissy 10:30, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

American English

I'm obviously not registered, but the article was started in American English, not british english, please stick to making contributions in one, so it doesn't get all haphazard. cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:CA0D:8C00:A8A5:ABB:F40D:8F9 (talk) 21:48, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 6 December 2017

This edit request to Pig has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The pig production industry that is one that won't be affected that much by climate change mainly because they are in housed and their production can be maintained i.e. the temperature of the space which is highly important with not only pigs but any animal in production. LazMac (talk) 10:08, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Please provide WP:reliable sources to support your statement. Vsmith (talk) 12:55, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Also, please see Domestic pig, as that would be a more appropriate article for this type of content. Vsmith (talk) 13:00, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Habitat and Reproduction

This section could use more pig-specific content. The first two sentences are a stab in the right direction. The last two sentences are awkwardly phrased and apply to any animal, so little more than filler:

"If there is increased foraging of wild pigs in certain areas, it can cause a nutritional shortage which can cause the pig population to decrease. If the nutritional state returns to normal, the pig population will most likely rise due to the pigs' naturally increased reproduction rate."

These two sentences read as if they are from the first pages in the first chapter of an introductory book about animal population biology, with "pig" replacing "animal". I'd be interested in more specific and detailed information about habitats types of vegetation, predators, climate, etc., in which we find pigs and their reproductive habits, perhaps how reproductive habits are the result of and respond to different habitats. No?--Catrachos (talk) 20:13, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Rubbish writing

Completely unsupported dates. Example:

" Archaeological evidence suggests that pigs were being managed in the wild in a way similar to the way they are managed by some modern New Guineans from wild boar as early as 13,000–12,700 BP in the Near East in the Tigris Basin, Çayönü, Cafer Höyük, Nevalı Çori.[27"

An examination of the cited sources reveals that the Misplaced Pages assertion is a complete fabrication. Both sources support NO DATES prior to 11000 BP. It is tedious to examine citations for this complete lack of honesty and rigor. The author's ability to submit such poor and dishonest work should be ended.2600:1700:6D90:79B0:89D4:DBDB:FDE1:F1B3 (talk) 13:08, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Please do go ahead and rectify the statement based on the sources, if that is required. The editor who added the original passage, LittleHow, is unlikely to be available for comment as they haven't edited for 5 years. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:19, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 25 April 2019

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected page at Sahil. (edit · history · last · links · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
