As in any other mammalian species, the pig eliminates wastes through the umbilical cord, and then the mother's vascular system moves it back into her bloodstream. From there it is metabolized in her liver/kidneys. It all happens through the bloodstream until the pig is born and his own digestive system and kidneys kick in.
