Pigs roll in the mud (or "wallow") in hot weather primarily because they cannot sweat. Lacking functional sweat glands, they rely on mud to regulate their body temperature, protect their skin, and ward off pests. [
Pigs have sensitive skin and very little hair, so they are highly susceptible to sunburn. The thick layer of mud acts as a physical barrier against harmful UV rays.
All our pigs are free range , they choose where they want to sleep , shelter and shade.
We practice high welfare practices so to keep them happy and healthy.
