I have never used pig manures but I use other manures often.
U want them to be composted first. Your gonna have a boat load of reading to do first, but you can make your own soil and manures would be a good component of it. Not sure about pig... Now I also have some studying up to do.

IMHO, manure from any herbivore should work as an amendment to any soil mix provided it has been dried and aged and is cooked into the soil mixture before it is used with plants. I would stay away from any manure that comes from any animal that is either a carnivore or an omnivore.

That's what I just read. I use rabbit poop, bat poop, sheep poop, worm poop and chicken poop.

I guess there are dangerous pathogens in the omnivore and carnivore poop potentially. You could try solarizing it after composting it if your hell bent on the pig poop.
