A piglet is born as a piglet, and can be born as a male or female piglet or shoat. Females grow to be gilts, which are immature females that have not farrowed you, then sows after they've had their first farrowing. Males are boars if used for breeding, or barrows if they're castrated and used for meat production.
GILTS stands for "Government Internal Losses and Transfer Scheme." It is a framework used to manage and mitigate financial risks associated with government operations and transactions. GILTS can also refer to British government bonds, known as "gilts," which are issued to fund government spending and are considered low-risk investments.

Generally they issue bonds (in the UK these are known as 'gilts'). They pay interest on these gilts which have been bought from the government. At some time these bonds will be redeemed at par (the nominal value when they were issued) by the govenment.
