Pigs do not possess sweat glands in their skin, which allow for the body to cool down in hot temperatures. For pigs to thermoregulate, they use mud to wallow in to lower their internal temperature, preventing them from being fried from the heat. Instead of a saline basis for thermal cooling (like humans), they use an external source to draw heat out (a simple rule of thermodynamics - heat travels from areas of high temperature to areas of low temperature ... variation of pressure and flow principles).

Pigs and Elephants alike dont have sweat glands that's why they put mud all over themselves in order to cool their body temperature or else they'll die of heat.

No. Many mammals don't have sweat glands. Animals can cool down panting, mud baths, wallowing in water, hiding in daytime and being active at night etc.

This is the same technique I have taught over 138,000 men and women in 157 countries to successfully treat their excessive sweating condition over the past 7 years!

If Excessive sweating is your problem you'll find here vert good tips: http://hyperhidrosis.toptips.org
About 2% to 3% of the general population experience excessive sweating a condition called hyperhidrosis which can occur with or without a trigger. The most common type is called primary (or focal) hyperhidrosis and it has no known cause, although it seems to run in families. You may have a different type of excessive sweating called secondary (or generalized) hyperhidrosis.
This means that your symptoms may be due to an underlying medical condition or disease (e.g., nerve damage or a hormone disorder), or due to a side effect of a medication you are taking. Talk to your doctor.
I hope it helps
