Pigs
Over the centuries, man has found almost limitless uses for these farm creatures. Questions here should focus on all things that 'oink.'
4,989 Questions
This style of question is the general type which has VERY useful answers in some real life circumstances. In real life, there are often more constraints. In this present question, there are lots of allowable answers. Let's look at a few. If I have 100 to spend, and cows cost 10, pigs cost 3 and rabbits cost 0.5 then I could buy 10 cows OR 9 cows and 20 rabbits, OR 9 cows and 3 pigs and 2 rabbits OR 9 cows and 2 pigs and 8 rabbits ....and so on.....
What is a group called for a sheep?
A group of sheep are called a herd. Its the same for goats or cattle as well. Another old fashioned term is "flock".
Do male and female pigs have the same number of teats?
Usually, yes. But the teats on a bore are for no purpose.
Where does the foramen ovale allow blood flow to and from?
That is a good question! You get the oxygenated blood from the placenta via umbilical vein in case of the fetus. This vein enters the liver of the fetus. The blood then goes to right atrium of the fetus. The lungs are closed in the fetus. So the blood goes to left atrium through foramen ovale to bypass the pulmonary circulation of the fetus. After the birth of the baby, baby takes the first breath. The lungs get inflated. Blood starts to flow via lungs. This closes the foramen ovale. The marking remains there on the wall between both the atria.
Do guinea pigs like hot or cold climate?
They like the cold climate as they originally migrated from Antarctic.
Are truffles made from pig manure?
Truffles do not come from pigs.
Truffles are a kind of fungus, like a type of mushroom, which grows underground. The truffles fetch a high price on the market but they can be very hard to find. Pigs can apparently smell them and sometimes, particularly in France, they are trained to scent out the truffles for their owners.
What are the 2 largest veins in a fetal pig?
The superior and inferior vena cava are the largest veins in the body.
How long after a pigs water breaks do they give birth?
This can all depend how smoothly the birth goes. The best is below the 1 hour mark, but sometimes you get horses or other members of the Equidae family that take hours to give birth. For instance, it has been heard of that a zebra has had her waters broken at about 15:00 and she was forced to give birth through an operation at 19:00 because her young would not come out.
Is a pig an plant eater or a meat eater?
They're omnivores, thus they'll eat meat if they find it but they're not carnivores nor do they hunt it.
What animal does look like pig?
The tapir is an animal that is sometimes mistaken for a pig due to its similar body shape and snout. However, tapirs are actually more closely related to horses and rhinoceroses. Other animals that may resemble pigs include warthogs and peccaries.
What is the pigs name in Geico commercial?
The pigs name on the Geico commericals is Maxwell. Maxwell is a pig that catchpharse is "wheeeeeewhewhewheeeeeee". The has a high pitch voice when he is saying his catchphares, but he actual has a very deep voice.
You have to go way back but deer and rabbits may have common ancestors back about 65 million years ago.
Deer are thought to have originated as as small-bodied, antlerless, tropical herbivores. Over 30 million years they evolved slowly. increasing their size, developing antlers and becoming deer, moose and elk.
Rabbits (scientifically known as lagomorphs) were first noted some 65 million years ago. Their anatomy is similar to deer and elk, cows, and pigs ( the order Artiodactyla).
So between then (65 million years ago) and now the original lagomorphs split off at least two groups, one going o to become rabbits and hares (maybe 37 million years ago) and the other even toed ungulates (maybe 30 million years ago.).
How much does a pig weigh at 8 month?
three to ten pounds usually sometimes depends on how much mother was fed wile with the piglets!

What size pig is between a baconer and porker?
From weaning up to 40 pounds they are called "Weaners"
From 40 pounds up to about 100 pounds they are called "Shoats"
Is a rabbit's nose called a snout?
Yes, a snout is a fancy word for nose. You can call a rabbits nose a snout! :)
What structure allows pigs to be in same class of organisms as humans?

Gas exchange or respiration takes place at a respiratory surface-a boundary between the external environment and the interior of the body. For unicellular organisms the respiratory surface is governed by Fick's law, which determines that respiratory surfaces must have: * a large surface area * a thin permeable surface * a moist exchange surface. Many also have a mechanism to maximise the diffusion gradient by replenishing the source and/or sink. Control of respiration is due to rhythmical breathing generated by the phrenic nerve in order to stimulate contraction and relaxation of the diaphragm during inspiration and expiration. Ventilation is controlled by partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide and the concentration of hydrogen ions. The control of respiration can vary in certain circumstances such as during exercise. In humans and mammals, respiratory gas exchange or ventilation is carried out by mechanisms of the heart and lungs. The blood is subjected to a transient electric field (QRS waves of the EKG) in the heart, which dissociates molecules of different charge. The blood, being a polar fluid, aligns dipoles with the electric field, is released, and then oscillates in a damped driven oscillation to form J or Osborn Waves, T, U, and V waves. The electric field exposure and subsequent damped driven oscillation dissociate gas from hemoglobin, primarily CO2, but more important, BPG, which has a higher affinity for hemoglobin than does oxygen, due in part to its opposite charge. Completely-dissociated hemoglobin (which will even effervesce if the electric field is too strong - the reason defibrillation joules are limited, to avoid bubble emboli that may clog vessels in the lung) enters the lung in red blood cells ready to be oxygenated. Convection occurs over the majority of the transport pathway. Diffusion occurs only over very short distances. The primary force applied in the respiratory tract is supplied by atmospheric pressure. Total atmospheric pressure at sea level is 760 mmHg (101 kPa), with oxygen (O2) providing a partial pressure (pO2) of 160 mmHg, 21% by volume, at the entrance of the nares, a partial pressure of 150 mmHg in the trachea due to the effect of partial pressure of water vapor, and an estimated pO2 of 100 mmHg in the alveoli sac, pressure drop due to conduction loss as oxygen travels along the transport passageway. Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases, making effective breathing more difficult at higher altitudes. Higher BPG levels in the blood are also seen at higher elevations, as well. In similar manner, CO2, which is a result of tissue cellular respiration, is also exchanged. The pCO2 changes from 45 mmHg to 40 mmHg in the alveoli. The concentration of this gas in the breath can be measured using a capnograph. As a secondary measurement, respiration rate can be derived from a CO2 breath waveform. Gas exchange occurs only at pulmonary and systemic capillary beds, but anyone can perform simple experiments with electrodes in blood on the bench-top to observe electric field-stimulated effervescence. Trace gases present in breath at levels lower than a part per million are ammonia, acetone, isoprene. These can be measured using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry. Blood carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen ions between tissues and the lungs. The majority of CO2 transported in the blood is dissolved in plasma (primarily as dissolved bicarbonate; 60%). A smaller fraction is transported in red blood cells combined with the globin portion of hemoglobin as carbaminohaemoglobin. This is the chemical portion of the red blood cell that aids in the transport of oxygen around the body, but, this time, it is carbon dioxide that is transported back to the lung. As CO2 diffuses into the blood stream, it is absorbed by red blood cells before the majority is converted into H2CO3 by carbonic anhydrase, an enzyme that is not present in the plasma. The H2CO3 dissociates into H+ and HCO3−. The HCO3− moves out of the red blood cells in exchange for Cl− (chloride shift). The hydrogen ions are removed by buffers in the blood (Hb).
Which fictional character has a dog called jib and a pig called gub gub?
The fictional character which has a dog called jip and a pig called gub gub, the character is dr.dolittle.REad the whole book its great.
How many pigs are slaughtered?
Pigs originally resided in parts of Europe and Asia, and were domesticated as early as 9000 years ago. Since then, humans have kept pigs as livestock and companion animals and wherever people have moved to, they have taken pigs along. Today, wild and feral pigs live all around the world, and can even be found on many remote Pacific islands. Their resourcefulness and adaptability means they thrive in a range of habitats, including:
- Grasslands
- Wetlands
- Forests
- Savanna
Are pigs from the old world or new world?
No. They originated in the area of Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru in South America.
There are a large number of theories on why they came to be known as "Guinea Pigs", one being that their Latin name gave rise to confusion about them being "pigs" and that "Guinea" may be a European corruption of Guiana.
