Pigs are actually rather clean animals. There are a lot of stereotypes about them. They will actually go to the bathroom in a different corner than they live in. As for the mud, pigs don't do it to get dirty or for fun! They actually lay in mud on hot days because they are unable to sweat. The mud helps keep them cool. Pigs are a lot smarter and cleaner than you think.

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.
