A female pig can be bred at about 9 months of age and have 2.5 litters per year. Pigs can live up to 15 years (although this is often truncated by market decisions in commerical facilities), so the math works out to about 28 times through a farrowing unit.

A female pig (called gilt if never had litter before or sow if she has) will cycle every month so she is able to become pregnant from her first cycle on (depending upon breed gilts come into heat from 4 months of age on). Gestation period for pigs is 3 months 3 weeks and 3 days. Piglets need to nurse for at least 4 weeks so the mother is not able to become pregnant during that full period of 5 months.

Sows will go back into their cycle again within a two week period of time after taken from their litter. This means that she could have two litters a year although I would have to say that one litter a year is more then enough for a sow to be bred and stay healthy.

A Wild Hog can give birth about two times a year, more if they lose a whole litter or come into heat early, or less if the sow does not come into heat do to maternal hormones.
