Sus domesticus is a subspecies of omnivorous domestic mammals of the family Pigs, or Suidae. Called pig (from Latin porcus) or pig or domestic pig, it has remained close to the wild boar with which it can crossbreed. The taxonomic status has changed over time: after long considering the pig as a subspecies of the Wild Boar (Sus scrofa), under the name Sus scrofa domesticus, the international code of zoological nomenclature decided to classify this domestic form (and many others) as a separate species, in order to avoid confusion between wild and domestic populations, while leaving the freedom to decide whether or not to include domestic animals in the concept of wild species, in accordance with the stated goals of taxonomic freedom in the Code of Zoological Nomenclature (In the chapter: 5. Recommendation for the names of domestic forms). In fact, the CINZ has not been followed. Thus, the classification retains the status of the pig as a subspecies of wild boar (Sus scrofa). Sus domesticus (or Sus domestica) is therefore either a subspecies named Sus scrofa scrofa or a subspecies named Sus scrofa domesticus. The adult female is the sow (gilt), the young female bred for reproduction is a gilt, the male is the boar and the young pig (before weaning) is called piglet, piglet, goret (or suckling pig in the plate), the young weaned pig is called nourrain (or nourrin). The term also refers to the meat provided by this animal, which is the most consumed meat in the world even though pork is subject to a dietary ban in some religions (in Judaism, Islam and three Christian churches: Adventism, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and the Kimbanguist Church). Production is concentrated in three areas: Europe (including Russia), Asia (notably China) and North America (Canada - one of the largest producers, with notably Quebec - and the United States). China with 46 million tons (2003) produces almost half of the world total.
