    I mean, yeah, but the pigs do much of the uh, subject disassembly for you.

    Its possible you could get a usable DNA result from hair or teeth that’s gone through a digestive system, but… less likely.

    Where does pig shit normally go?

    Usually into some kind of composting mixture for your own small garden/farm, or even sold to some kind of local co-op or something for the same thing on a larger scale.

    That much exposure to a very active biological situation is gonna mess up and degrade dna even more.

    I guess if you are super paranoid, run the stuff through a mulcher first, pick out anything that looks like teeth and just put em in a rock tumbler or smash em with a hammer or something?
