Pigs are clean animals! They have a place which they use as a toilet which is well away from the places where they eat or drink.

Despite common beliefs, pigs prefer a clean environment (they wallow in mud to cool themselves but if given the choice of mud or sprinkler systems, they will elect for the clean water). If given enough room, pigs will defecate in one corner of a pen and sleep in a different corner.
