Pigs stay warm in their barn or den. There always has to be plenty of hay

inside there. The den or barn should consist of 2 rooms. One for the pig to enter

and (dry) off any moisture or wetness from the rain or snow, then enter their

dorm. You want the pig to be dry before they go to their comfort zone. You don't want to have them wet or damp and then lay down. That would cause them to be cold and the hay will be wet or full of moisture creating mold and that is an unpleasant for your pet. You want them to be warm and a happy.

Pigs do have a few sweat glands, but they're not very useful for temperature adjustment. When the Mercury rises, they stay in cool water or mud, which has the same evaporation effect as sweating.

Do pigs sweat?

No. Pigs do have sweat glands but they do not function like a human's does. They can release a little water and heat through passive diffusion, but it is not enough for the pigs to rely on. So in order to combat heat, pigs have adapted by using behavioral thermoregulation, which is the act of cooling themselves in the mud or water.

Why is it to sweat like a pig?

Pigs sweat but not the way humans do. Pigs do not have eccrine sweat glands which are used for temperature regulation in humans through watery evaporative coolness. Pigs have apocrine glands which excrete protein, ammonia, lipids, and chromogranins and the bacterial decomposition of these leads to odor so perhaps that's where the origin of the idiom lies since it a generally accepted concept that sweating leads to odor.
