As in most mammals, the saliva in a pig functions to both moisten ingesta and to start breaking down sugars through the actions of amylase in the saliva.
pepcid
The normal pH level of pig saliva is slightly acidic. The acids and enzymes in pig saliva help to start breaking down food before it is swallowed.
The auditory tubes mark the opening of the nasopharynx in the fetal pig. The purpose of these tubes is the beginning of development for the ears.
The cranium of a pig serves to protect the brain from damage. However, in a fetal pig it has no purpose since a fetal pig is an unborn pig used for dissecting purposes.
The main purpose of a pig is a food source. Pigs are used for a variety of food products such as ham, bacon, pork chops, and more.

Ptyalin is the chemical in human saliva that helps break down food in your mouth.
The primary source of an infection with rabies is getting in touch with saliva from an infected fox. The most likely way in which a guinea pig can get in touch with a fox's saliva is by getting bitten by a fox - in which case, the guinea pig is most likely dead, and need no longer worry about a rabies infection. However, in the event of exposure to a possibly infected animal, such as a fox raiding a guinea pig pen and leaving some survivors, you should probably seek advise from a vet. One risk is that the guinea pig has become infected, but the far more serious risk is that you might be infected in turn, by way of handling the guinea pig, disposing of dead (bitten) ones, cleaning out the pen and putting things back in order, etc. Rabies is a highly infectious disease which must be taken very seriously indeed. Touching a mere trace of infected saliva can be enough to contract the disease.
They used to be (and still are in some areas) used for food.
