it's the muscle that keeps the stomach closed in the inferior portion of the stomach, just like in humans.
The bottom of the stomach is the pyloric area, with the pyloric sphincter separating the stomach from the duodenum (first portion of the small intestine). The top of the stomach is the cardiac area with the cardiac sphincter. The pre-pyloric area is the area just above the phyloric sphincter where they do biopsies to test for an H-Pylori infection. The pyloric area consists of two parts the pyloric canal and the pyloric antrum.

Pyloric sphincter controls the movement of food from stomach to duodenum. With parasympathetic or vagal stimulation it opens up or relaxes and with sympathetic stimulation it contracts or closes.
In adults the pyloric muscle or valve can be closed by scarring (from ulceration) or cancer. Sometimes pyloric stenosis in infancy is not severe enough to warrant surgery and for whatever reason some of these children grow up still having problems with their pyloric function. Problems with the pyloric sphincter in adults can be managed by medication, lifestyle changes, and/or surgery.
The function of the pyloric sphincter is that it controls the movement of food from the stomach into the small intestine.
The most muscular part of the digestive system in a pig is the stomach. The stomach is made up of four regions, which are the oesophageal, cardiac, fundic and pyloric regions.
The cardiac sphincter is located at the top of the stomach and controls the direction of food passing through the esophagus so that no food will re enter the esophagus. The Pyloric sphincter stops bile and digested food from entering the stomach, this valve is located at the bottom of the stomach.
Pyloric stenosis is also referred to as hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
The pyloric sphincter, or valve, is a strong ring of smooth muscle at the end of the pyloric canal and lets food pass from the stomach to the duodenum. It receives sympathetic innervation from celiac ganglion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pylorus

Pylororrhaphy is the medical term meaning suture of the pyloric valve. A related term, pyloroplasty, means surgical repair of the pyloric valve.
