Introduction to Chuying Black Pig
Chuying Black Pig in Sanmenxia is currently the only product in China's pig breeding industry that has been awarded national ecological origin protection.
It is understood that there are currently no unified standards for ecological breeding at the national and industry levels. Chuying Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Group has built a 400,000-acre ecological pig breeding base in Sanmenxia, which is a bold exploration and innovation in the field of ecological breeding. The protection of Chuying Black Pig in Sanmenxia as an ecological origin product is a full recognition of its ecological breeding practices, which can help enhance the awareness of good breed protection in China's livestock industry and promote the exploration of new models for pig breeding, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of animal husbandry industry.
Different from traditional captive breeding, Chuying Black Pig in Sanmenxia adopts the grazing and rotational grazing method, and only releases pigs that are above ten months of age. The grazing time needs to be reasonably adjusted according to the weather, feed crops, and the size of the pigs. Pigs in stages such as conservation, pregnancy, delivery, or reserve that are not suitable for grazing are managed by scientific feeding methods. Meanwhile, through the combination of breeding and planting, the pig manure is used to fertilize vegetables, achieving the goal of returning land and returning to an ecological state, and reducing pollution.
To ensure the quality and safety of pork, Chuying Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Group implements "six uniformities" in the management of the base, which is to provide uniform piglets, feed, medicine, epidemic prevention and disinfection, slaughter and sales, and standardized management procedures. Farmers who cooperate with the group do not need to purchase feed, vaccines, etc. Moreover, if they face technical difficulties, pig farm technicians will help them solve them. The weak stages of the farming process such as piglets, feed, medicine, and disease prevention are the responsibility of Chuying Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Group; meanwhile, the risk of market fluctuations is borne by the group. Finally, Chuying Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Group also provides guaranteed profits for cooperative farmers, alleviating their worries. This "Chuying Model" fully mobilizes the enthusiasm and sense of responsibility of farmers and helps to ensure product safety to the greatest extent.
Chuying Black Pig breeding in Sanmenxia has formed an ecological cycle chain. In the grazing area, on one side are sturdy and healthy Chuying Black Pigs, on the other side is a green and connected planting area, and there are also biogas tanks and purification equipment. The pig manure produced in pig breeding is returned to the fields through cleaning equipment, and the solid and dry pig manure is uniformly processed into organic fertilizer. The pig sewage is treated to produce biogas, which can solve the lighting and heating problems of the breeding area, and the biogas slurry and residue are used for planting vegetables and seedlings after treatment. Vegetables and green plants become pig feed, saving the cost of breeding and effectively supplementing ecological breeding.
Environmental Background
Sanmenxia is a national forest city with continuous mountains, dense vegetation, and diverse ecology, which conforms to the geographical features of the origin of the product. Remote mountains far from residential areas create a natural epidemic prevention barrier for breeding; rich green vegetation provides abundant natural green feed for black pigs; and diverse ecology provides unique resource advantages for the development of ecological animal husbandry.
The Chuying Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Group's ecological breeding base in Sanmenxia has a total investment of about 4 billion yuan and occupies more than 400,000 acres of barren mountains and hills in Shaanxi County, Mianchi, and Lushi. It builds a national standardized ecological breeding base, and the annual output of ecological black pigs will reach 1 million after its completion. This sufficiently low breeding density provides ample space for Chuying Black Pigs in Sanmenxia to move around.
