Can pigs eat tomato leaves?

I have been stripping the leaves back from the tomato plants in the greenhouse and thought the pigs might like them but wanted to be sure they were ok for them to eat.
thanks

I think tomato leaves are poisonous like potato plants. Might be wrong though.

No i wouldn't feed them to the pigs either, put on compost heap or if any sign of blight burn.
