Their testes function best at temperatures lower than their core body temperature. Their testes are located outside of the body, suspended by the spermatic cord within the scrotum.

In order to regulate internal body temperature, the sweat mechanism allows an animal to quickly dissapate heat. Animals like a horse, cow or human will sweat with exercise or in hot temperatures. Reptiles & insects don't sweat as their body temperature is governed by the environmental temperature. Pigs on the other hand, are mammals and need to have water/humidity applied to the skin in order to help dissapate heat.
