Porc vs cochon
Hi - what is the difference between le porc and le cochon when referring to the live animal - not the meat?

According to Larousse, "porc" is the more generic term. If it's domesticated, it's a "cochon", and if it's wild, it's a "sanglier".
It's more common to use the term "porc" for the meat and "cochon" for the live animal, but it's not an absolute rule. "Élever des porcs" and "manger du cochon de lait" are also common expressions.
