This isn't what is normally meant by pig Latin. It's a humorous/parodic piece of classical Latin.
It's pretty funny! It's striking how well it would fit in to 20th century comedy, and the author's translation does a good job of preserving the spirit of it. For a modern take on the part where the pig bequeathes his various body parts, here's John Prine's Please Don't Bury Me
