A pig has as many nipples as the litter they will have. If they have 10 nipples they will have 10 pigilets per litter
Not always the norm. They can have 6-12 nips. and maybe 1-6 babies, as in the case with Micro pigs. A Micro pig breeder will NOT usually breed a Micro with less than 10 nipples. This is just a standard. Some breeders will not breed sows with narrow hips,either.
