Why do pigs smell funny?

Answer 1

(a) Pigs did not always smell funny. There was a time when they emitted an enticingly fragrant odour, but unfortunately this drew unwanted attention from other species, many of them larger than the pigs themselves. It is even thought that there was a time when humans were frequently attracted to pigs, which could explain why so many porcine organs are so similar to human ones. Many of these attempts at cross-breeding resulted in disaster, and some of the products were really quite monstrous. For their survival as a species pigs gradually developed an odour which would be offensive to all other species and yet appealing to their own kind. It is even thought that the human penchant for eating ham and bacon could be a vestigial practice redolent of those earlier times. (b) They smell 'Funny' probably because of the fact they spend time in the mud, And mud might be mixed with some other animals Dung-(poop)-Please don't think that pigs are dirty because... pigs are very clean animals that do not have sweat glands and need some way to cool off. I hope I helped. (C) I worked at a ranch and when the petting zoo animals needed a care during the off season, they were brought to the main barn.

Among these animals where potbelly pigs. the horses adjusted to the sheep and goats and even the jersey calf. But not to the pigs! the reason is that a pig has no smell and this confuses the horses thus making them scared of these wee little addition to the barn. You see potbelly pigs are easy to potty train and clean up after , so their quarters were spotless.

When the stall was not clean however the strong odor comes from how quickly porcine (pig) metabolize the food they eat. pigs metabolize what they eat in less that 24 hours this is why you cook pork well to reduce the risk of getting more of what the pig ate then you bargined for.
