Yes. Animals that have babies in litters can have babies of up to several fathers.
Unlike with humans, mating is what triggers ovulation in pigs and other domestic animals.

I had absolutely no idea.
I've studied medical genetics, comparative vertebrate anatomy and embryology... but nothing about animal husbandry.
I absolutely didn't know that about pigs.
And I live in the midwest.
Well there you go. Thanks for filling up a neuron with new info.
