domestic and wild pigs
you could also use "farm pigs" as an alternative to "domestic", but I prefer "domestic"

The wild pig is a species with the Latin name \"sus scrofa\". A wild boar is a wild pig, but a wild pig is not necessarily a wild boar.

: domestic; "feral" could be used instead of "wild", but I prefer "wild" (for no good reason!)

pigs and wild boar
Multitran gives дикая свинья as one translation of wild boar (better known as кабан), and I think this is the way it is being used here. I don't think pigs are found in the wild, so I think you can just leave this as pigs.
