I would tend to question the term "whole hog", as
this would include the bones, which usually wouldn't
usually be finely pulverized enough to be included
in the sausage. Did they provide you with a complete list
of ingredients? :-)
Or are you using the term "whole hog" to describe everything
except for the skeleton?
The only common food product I can think of offhand where the
whole animal could be used, including the bones, would be some
varieties of fish paste, usually used in pet food.
Of course, various organs of the pig would be more valuable
as a source of donor organs for humans, known as
xenotransplantation. For example, see:

This would be aided by genetic animal human hybrids, and
this is now being investigated.
Of course, as a science fiction story pointed out some years ago
we could probably produce human clones of human individuals as
an ultimate source of spare parts without risk of rejection.
Many readers may have heard of the recent mystery medical
miracle.
