How many nipples are on a pig?

Over the centuries farmers have bred up the pigs to have more teats so that they will be able to nurse more piglets. Pigs have two uteruses and are able to produce large numbers off offspring making them an ideal meat animal. The teats on a boar are an indication of his genetics and how well his daughters will nurse. Thus the old phrase "useless as teats on a boar" is completely wrong. A boar with 16 teats is very valuable, as is a sow with 16 teats. Average pigs have 10 to 12 teats, some as few as 8 teats. Good breeder pigs have 14 teats. Superior breeder pigs have 16 teats.

How many tits on a boar?

none, they're maleBUT Wikipedia says:"The term boar is used to denote an adult male of certain species - including, confusingly, domestic pigs. However, for wild boar, it applies to the whole species, including, for example, 'wild boar sow' or 'wild boar piglet'."And in a pig discussion forum a user named "bumpus" who feed a sounder (group) of boars said:"The old saying "worthless as teats on a boar!" is not true.People in the know understand that the teats on the boar hog is the most important thing in hog production.The number of teats on a boar hog determines the number of teats that will be on his daughters born out of his offspring.The more teats on the boar hog the better.Many hog raisers will not buy or use a boar hog unless he has at least 14 or more teats because their daughter's will have more teats and will raise more pigs."[Offspring ratio is 1:1.]
