Narrative:
We flew from ZZZ to ZZZ1. We a made visual approach to runway xx in VMC conditions. Upon landing as I transitioned to brakes and thrust reversers; two pigs ran across the runway directly in front of us. They ran perpendicularly across the runway east to west. I made a slight turn to left; while maintaining control on the runway; in an effort to avoid them. Best guess is we were around 80 knots ground speed at impact. It looked like we would clear the first pig; however we braced for impact with the second pig. We only felt a slight impact; at first we thought it may have been the anti skid brakes; and that we had avoided both pigs.after the slight impact braking and taxi in was normal. There were no cockpit or tactile indications of a problem. After shutdown inspection revealed that the gear door was missing. Airport ops recovered the door and a dead pig on the runway. The departure of the door caused some damage to the underside of the wing by the gear well.
