Yes.

When a Pig starts labor amount of time before first and last birth?
A first time mother can labor anywhere from four hours to 15 before the first pig arrives. Sometimes they can take all day to give birth to all piglets, or sometimes they can all arrive within an hour! Just like people, it depends on the individual. If there are no anatomical problems, a birth can usually take anywhere between 6 hours and 10 hours while some can be as short as an hour and a half. It depends on the individual. Some sows get quiet and calm, and give birth quite rapidly. Some have a lower pain tolerance and they may get up and get restless and take longer. The first stage of labor is nesting and rooting around, making a 'nest' and this may be a all-night process. The actual laboring and contractions takes less time. I'd say for us its been an average of six hours overall. If a sow stops having piglets at the present rate, then perhaps there is a pig in a bad position or she needs oxytocin, a naturally ocurring hormone that they induce labor in humans with.

What does injecting hormones into pigs do to the pig's body and behavior?
There are no real reasons to inject pigs with hormones. There are some feed supplements that act like a hormone to enhance feed efficiency. They are not hormones as in sex hormones that you might think of. They do enhance growth and are controversial. Many growers are avoiding these additives as they may have harmful effects not known at this time.
The only known hormone that is injected into a pig that I know of in 30 years is used in farrowing, oxytocin, which is identical to the one used in humans and its totally natural substance existing in the body and it increases during labor. During a slowed labor it is necessary to save the piglets and the mother, the same as in humans.
There are many controversies surrounding the growing of animals for food and hormones. Most of them are feed additives and the first ones were implanted in the ears of calves. Most of these are no longer used.
