Some farmers put rings (called choat rings if I spelled that right) in their pigs noses to stop them from rooting in the dirt. The rings are C shaped when open and sharpened at both ends, they are applied with a specalized tool that clamps the ring closed onto the edge of the hogs nose and the result is that it is painful if they try to root at the ground. Rooting in the dirt can potenially lead to parasights and the passing on of disease .
pigs noses are genetically modified so they can only breath through their noses, and can't smell anything. if a pig were to roll around in mud and eat muck and left overs they wouldn't notice the stench! so infact pigs have no clue what so ever that they smell. Ms Bilyad bioligy specialist
Because they feel like snorting!! It's like saying why do humans sneeze!
it keeps them from digging holes and getting out.they dig with there nose.
Those are not noses. they are eyes.

With dark skin and large hooked noses, wearing rings and a floor length cloak.
Boer goats have horns. But boars, as in male pigs, have tusks.
I don't think so. When mine did, it just made chattering noises and kept shivering and his lips trembled. :(
