Pigs clearing the garden?

Our garden wasn't a total bust this year but conditions were harsh and I was lazy. We have too many weeds that got out of control (in my defense, it was just tooooo hot to deal with them) and tons of bugs. I went out and got what I wanted this evening and hubby is planning to rig the fencing so the pigs can clean it up for us.

My question is, will the tomato plants hurt them? I might have 16-20 out there. The chickens have helped themselves to a lot of the tomotoes but I was worried about the plants themselves being poisonous to the livestock, them being in the nightshade family. It wouldn't be terrible to rip those out ourselves but oh-so-much easier if the pigs could do it, LOL. Thanks, Lori
