Actually this not the natural state of swine, as when they are allowed an opportunity to defecate away from where they eat and sleep, the normally take advantage of the circumstances.

It is not at all unusual to see a mature pig growing to 500-600 pounds in weight, because unlike most other mammals, pigs continue to grow AFTER reaching maturity, sometimes reaching a weight of 1,000 pounds or more. The fact is, few pigs live beyond the age of six months or so, before they are slaughtered (at about 230 pounds or so), and the few that are kept back for reproduction purposes rarely live beyond four years or so (by which time they may weigh as much as 400 pounds), then they are sent off to slaughter.

Very few pigs die a natural death of old age. What happens when the get beyond about 1,100 to 1,200 pounds is they begin to suffer from circulatory problems or skeletal failures, and die somewhat horribly shortly thereafter. And there are ever-present diseases that kind of keep the herd thinned out.

If pigs have a choice they don’t like to wallow in shit.
