Some farmers put nose rings on pigs to prevent them from rooting or digging in the ground, which can damage crops or property.
Some farmers put rings (called choat rings if I spelled that right) in their pigs noses to stop them from rooting in the dirt. The rings are C shaped when open and sharpened at both ends, they are applied with a specalized tool that clamps the ring closed onto the edge of the hogs nose and the result is that it is painful if they try to root at the ground. Rooting in the dirt can potenially lead to parasights and the passing on of disease .

Some types of body jewelry are earrings, necklaces, bracelets, belly chairs, nose rings, tongue rings, belly button rings, cartiledge rings, toe rings, and anklets.
The practice of using pig nose rings is considered by some to be cruel because it causes pain and discomfort to the animal.
It depends. Some people find ornamentation such as nose rings to be disturbing. Others find them no more disturbing thaan pierced ears. If the jewelry worn in the nose piercing is simple and understated, it should not be a problem, though.
All pigs, wild or domestic, use their snouts to dig into the soil for edible roots. Some farmers will keep pigs on a field for a few months to allow the pigs time to uproot and eat weed roots, and to loosen the soil, and manure the ground. Then they may move the pigs to another field.
True. The soft part of the nose and the supporting rings of the respiratory passages are composed of fibrocartilage, which is a type of cartilage that is both strong and flexible. It provides support and shape to structures in the body while still allowing for some movement.

You can prevent cows from nursing off each other by using nose rings or other physical barriers to inhibit the behavior. It's also helpful to ensure each cow has access to adequate nutrition to prevent nutritional deficiencies that may cause this behavior. Additionally, separating cows into individual pens or groups may help discourage this behavior.
This depends entirely on anatomy, the angle of the piercing, and personal choice. Some people like circular barbells, captive bear rings, or nostril hoops. Some people like nose bones, and labret style studs. Some others are just fine with the basic nostril screw. It's up to you, find what you like and what works for your piercing and stick with it.

Because it's a stress-free way to wean beef calves from their mommas. It's far stress-less a weaning technique than separating momma and babies at weaning time and having them to never see each other again, adding huge amounts of stress on both the calves and the cows, which can result in illness for both parties. The nose rings are temporary, in other words they don't go through the nasal wall between the nostrils, but just hang by the cartilage between the inside of each nostril. The spikes on the end are designed so that when the calf tries to suckle, it makes the cow kick the calf off because the spikes poke into the udder (which kinda hurts) the nose rings allow the calf to be near his momma, but it doesn't allow him to suckle, making the cow both decrease in milk production and the calf to be discouraged from suckling. The nose ring doesn't hinder the calf when it grazes or eats feed from a trough nor drink water, and nor is it cruel to put on and use on calves. Ninety-eight percent of the time it works, and the other 2% of the calves can figure out how to flip up the nose ring so they can suckle. After a few weeks, the nose rings are removed (again, they are temporary, not permanent like bull nose rings are) and the calves are allowed to graze and feed as they please.
