Physiology of Porcines

The average lifespan for a porcine is approximately 6 to 10 turns. However, health problems relating to their excessive weight are not uncommon and may reduce their lifespan by a few turns. Mature female porcines (sows) and mature male porcines (boar, if uncastrated, barrow if castrated) generally weigh between 700-1000 pounds. The normal body temperature for porcines ranges from 101.6° to 103.6°F.
