If you own a Gloucestershire Old Spots pig then you may be wondering whether or not he should be sweating during the warmer months. Pigs in general do not sweat in the way humans and other animals like horses and cows sweat. Although pigs have some sweat glands, they are not very helpful when it comes to regulating their body temperature. In fact, the glands are located at the top of the pig’s nose so the only place he can sweat is through his nose. This; however, is not sufficient enough to cool the pig. Instead, a pig will wallow in water to keep cool. Wallowing in water or even mud has the same effect as sweating. It’s important to make sure your Gloucestershire Old Spots pig has access to fresh water for drinking and bathing. Talk with your veterinary clinic North Las Vegas, NV for more tips.
