Let's say that hypothetically a farmer has 17 pigs, but 9 run away in search of more food. The farmer is now left with what?
Answer 8 porcines
Based on the rules of subtraction, an arithmetic operation that involves removing objects from a whole, the farmer has eight pigs left. And pigs are known as "porcines." Bovines refers to cows, equines to horses, and ovines to sheep.
