Swine refers to domesticated pigs, which are part of the species Sus scrofa domesticus. They are raised primarily for their meat, known as pork, and are also valued for their fat and skin. Swine are omnivorous animals, meaning they eat both plants and animals, and they are known for their intelligence and social behavior. In agriculture, swine play a significant role in many cultures around the world. They are often kept on farms and can be bred for various purposes, including for bacon, ham, and other pork products. Additionally, swine are used in some regions for their ability to help with land clearing and soil aeration.
