Which term describes a female pig that has already given birth?

• A. Sow
• B. Gilt
• C. Boar
• D. Barrow

Answer: (A)

In pig terminology, a female pig that has already given birth is called a sow. This reflects her role in breeding and production, as sows are the mothers that have farrowed and are often managed for lactation and subsequent litters. A gilt is a young female pig that has not yet had a litter, a boar is an intact male, and a barrow is a castrated male. So the term fits the described stage of life and reproductive status.
