They like it on their skin (it feels like a soothing massage). And it keeps them cool. It also keeps the bugs off their skin and "cleans" out the parasites on them.

Yes, it keeps flies off of them and helps their skin. A light colored pig burns easily and the mud protects it.

Do all pigs like to get dirty?

Pigs do not like to get dirty, the reason why they roll in the mud is because pigs are not made with sweat glands. During summer or hot weather, they are unable to sweat to keep themselves cool, therefore they will roll in the mud. The mud then acts as a deflector from the sun, keeping the pig cool. When pigs are kept in pens they will reserve one corner of the pen for feces, this corner is far from the place that they eat and sleep.
