How to tell the difference between "local pork" and "feed hogs"?

The difference between soil pork and feed pork can be judged from three aspects, as long as there is a difference, basically can be immediately concluded.

The first is to look at the fat.

This is one of the most obvious aspects, soil pork fat thick, feed pig fat thin.

The reasoning here is mainly the time of feeding, the earth pig time is long, free-range to a n, half free-range also need 10 months, before selling. Feed pigs are not the same, programmed breeding, strict cost control, must be on time, according to different varieties, usually in 4-6 months out of the pen.

So, the fat of the soil pig is correspondingly thicker, and look oily. The fat of feeder pigs is not only thinner, but also watery.

This aspect, it is important to note that feed pigs also have thick fat, mainly because some farms, in order to confuse the local pork, sold at a good price, deliberately more time to raise, to achieve the effect of fat. In this case, we have to use other methods to identify.

Second, look at the color of the lean meat.

The earth pig is very different from the feed pig because of its breed and feed, which can be seen in the meat color.

Earth pig lean meat dark meat red, feed pig pale white meat red, color light weight is more obvious, basically a glance can be seen.

The red color of earth pork is a bit like containing blood, giving the impression that the meat is full and healthy. Feed pork is also full, but the color isn't quite right, like it's washed out.

This aspect to look out for is watered-down pork. Pork boiled in water is the norm, watered-down pork looks watery, pale meat. This is okay to recognize, look at the seepage pattern is. It is not easy to identify is injected meat, injected glue and meat color, and meat completely combined with one, the old driver is not good to identify. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to buy this kind of meat, but I'm sure you're going to be able to buy it.

Third, look at the size of the body.

This is a better way to get a handle on the fact that the local pigs are smaller and the feeder pigs are bigger, which is determined by the characteristics of the breed.

The reasoning is simple. Take the soil pig as a feed pig to raise, how to feed the growth is not that fast, it is not big money. Feed pigs are fast-growing varieties, the fastest more than four months can grow to two hundred pounds. The earth pig is only a hundred pounds at this time.

Of course, the earth pig raised to a year, the size of the look is also big, but and the same big feed pig, still can distinguish. Look at it half a fan of meat, fat, round and full is the soil pig. The feed pig looks thin.
