I think one of the reasons pigs are seen as being dirty etc. is because they roll around in mud.. But they do that to cool down as they can't sweat lol

They are very clever animals and unfortunately the number of pig farms in the UK is rapidly decreasing thanks to various disease outbreaks and supermarkets controlling the meat market. It is just not as viable a business anymore which is sad. In the UK farming has strict welfare controls now which the farmer has to foot the bill for, and unfortunately the supermarkets don't account for that when they buy livestock from farmers. As a result farmers get priced out of the market competing with cheap imports from countries where the welfare is not as good as the UK. Buy british I say :-)

Not sure having your institution on is a good idea or not as some people like to have a certain degree of anonymity on here. Although having research area could be a good thing :-)

The only other animal that I can think of that sweats like a human is a horse

Most mammals have sweat glands but they are not as widely distributed around the body as in humans. Dogs for example only sweat through their paws and loose heat through panting.. Birds, reptiles and amphibians don't sweat.
