Pig terms in standard vocabulary?

Explanation:
Pigs have specific names for sex and age, just like other animals. Swine is used for pigs in general. An adult female pig is a sow, an adult male pig is a boar. A young female that hasn’t farrowed is a gilt, a castrated male is a barrow, and a young pig is a piglet. These are the standard terms used in veterinary practice and animal husbandry to refer to pigs. The other options use terms for different species: canine, bitch, stud are for dogs; feline, tom, queen are for cats; equine, mare are for horses.
