The word khriuchevo is Russian slang for sloppy, unappetising food fit for pigs, from the sound a pig makes. Online the clip is used less as a literal animal recording and more as a reaction label, a way to call a meal, a snack haul or someone's eating habits disgusting without explaining further. It circulates in meme edits and chat soundboards alongside other gross out and animal reaction sounds, where its length lets creators build a joke and then cut away for the punchline.
