Pigs typically reach sexual maturity and are ready for breeding between 5-8 months of age. Breeding of guinea pigs is recommended to begin when they are around 3 months old.
The average life span of a wild pig is 25 years. The life span of a domestic pig tends to be 10 - 15 years. Female pigs reach sexual maturity very young, at about 250 days old, and from that point on, a breeding sow's life is a constant cycle of pregnancy, nursing and pregnancy, almost without pause, until she's reached the end of her reproductive usefulness at age four or five. Overall, 12 to 15 years.
A sow's mate is called a boar. Boars are male pigs that are used for breeding purposes with female pigs.
