Traditional local Zhu Da boxing is big.

Because foreign local pigs are suitable for large-scale breeding, and the slaughter rate and lean meat rate are higher than local pigs, but the taste is really not as good as local pigs.

Pork doesn't smell as good as it used to. I don't know if you feel this way. Some people say that pork is not as delicious as before, because people eat more because of better living conditions. There is some truth in this statement. There is also a saying that the breed of pigs has changed now.

Now pork has been commercialized, and more than 70% of them are foreign sanyuan pigs. This is a pig breed introduced from abroad, which is suitable for large-scale breeding, with fast growth, high lean meat rate and, most importantly, high profit. China has a history of raising pigs for thousands of years. Since ancient times, raising pigs has been the most important breeding industry in China, so there are naturally many varieties of pigs. Local pig breeds have been kept in all parts of China, and there were still many people raising pigs in rural areas 30 or 40 years ago.

At that time, there was no large-scale farming. At that time, each family in the family only raised two or three heads, just to facilitate the family to eat pork during the New Year. However, the current farming is large-scale farming, which is very different from the previous farming model. Now large-scale pig raising, standardized farms and good sewage system. Nowadays, rural farming is a centralized pig raising mode. Sewage is the first problem to be considered in multi-variety intensive pig raising, so a perfect sewage system must be provided. Nowadays, raising pigs is no longer just to meet the needs of self-sufficiency, but to make profits.

Many people say that local pig breeds should have been eliminated by the market long ago, but are local pig breeds really that bad? But in fact, local pig breeds have been cultivated for thousands of years, and pig breeds have great advantages in environmental adaptability and anti-stress ability. In fact, imported pig breeds are not easy to feed. As far as pork price is concerned, the high lean rate of Waisanyuan pig is the main reason why people choose Waisanyuan pig. However, consumers' preference for eating lean meat is only a visual expression. What consumers really want to eat is the taste of pork. If only lean meat does not smell like pork, many consumers are likely to choose local pork. No matter from the meat quality or production disease resistance, local pigs are not the weak side, and the real reason why local pigs are eliminated is that pigs are too dense. At present, it is impossible to choose local pig breeding in such a breeding environment, and it is also difficult to realize large-scale local pig breeding.

It is an indisputable fact that local pigs are gradually declining. In the social environment where pork is in great demand, it is unrealistic for everyone to go home and raise a local pig. Only professionals can carry out large-scale farming. But then again, local pigs are not useless in the face of large-scale commercial pigs. In the market, the price of local pork is often higher than that of ordinary pork. In addition to the high cost of breeding, consumer recognition is also a major aspect. The breeding of local pigs still has great development prospects. With the rise of diversified consumption, consumers may be more inclined to the quality of pork consumption. There will be more and more varieties of pork, and then traditional local pork may become popular again.
