Question
hi Is there any period when MALE and FEMALE pig came to heat , is there any cycle.............and is there any symptoms by which i can know my saw is at heat.

Answer
Females come into estrus every 21 days, It is easy to tell because their vulvas  (girl parts) become enlarged, pink, and swollen.
Males can breed any time.
Sometimes the females become aggressive when in heat (PMS).
We suggest spaying and neutering.
