I have confirmed male and female pigs and they have lived together for 6 months. I see the male mounting the female, but she is not pregnant. I have taken her to the vet on two different occasions to confirm pregnancy, but there was nothing. The vet recently did an ultrasound and there was nothing. So, she may have had a litter and (dead or alive) they ate the litter.
Since she has never shown any signs of pregnancy, and I have seen them do the "dance of love" many MANY times, what is going on? I talked to the vet and he had no suggestions (other than the eating thing).
Does anyone out there have any suggestions? My husband thinks that perhaps one of them is sterile or that, as he says, "maybe the male just isn't doing it right." Is that possible? How can they "do it" incorrectly for 6 months?
Any feedback would be great.
