China Wants to Improve Genetics of Its Pigs So They’re Fatter and Eat Less Photo: VCG (Bloomberg) China will work to improve the genetics of its hog herd and other livestock in the coming decade with the aim of breeding animals that produce more meat and – at the same time – consume less grains. Sow herd productivity is about 30% lower than in developed countries and dairy cows produce only 80% of the milk than their peers in some leading markets, Shi Jianzhong, an official with the agriculture ministry’s National Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources Committee, told reporters on Wednesday. China has to rely on overseas stock to produce white-feathered broiler chickens, he said.
