There is no such thing. Pig is a word that describes an omnivorous mammal with a stout body, cloven hooves on each foot and a broad cylindrical snout, it does not describe the sex or gender of an animal.

However, the male gender of a pig is a boar (intact male) or a barrow (castrated male), and the female is a sow(mature female) or gilt (immature female).

The opposite gender of a hog would most likely be a sow. A sow is an adult female pig, while a hog is an adult male pig.

Swine is the group term for pigs and pig-related animals, like hogs and wild boars. It's gender neutral.

The noun for male swine is boar; the noun for female swine is sow.
