Do all pigs like to get dirty?

Pigs do not like to get dirty, the reason why they roll in the mud is because pigs are not made with sweat glands. During summer or hot weather, they are unable to sweat to keep themselves cool, therefore they will roll in the mud. The mud then acts as a deflector from the sun, keeping the pig cool. When pigs are kept in pens they will reserve one corner of the pen for feces, this corner is far from the place that they eat and sleep.
