No, not all pig fetuses are identical. For one thing, some are male and some are female. Also, there can be differences in things like the pattern of the circulatory vessels as well as the precise arrangement of their muscles.

How do doctors to recognize identical or fraternal twins during pregnancy?

Identical twins are born when a single fertilized egg splits and develops into two fetuses. Fraternal twins are born when two separate eggs are released and fertilized. Identical twins take a long time to separate within the womb, and sometimes they don't separate entirely (conjoined twins). If doctors observe the two fetuses are connected at any point, that means identical twins. You can also do a DNA test on the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetuses. If there are two sets of DNA present, it means fraternal twins. If there is only one unique set of DNA, it means identical twins.
