Wan-Zhe Spotted Pig

　　Originating in Lantian County of Xiuning County, Anhui Province, and Chun’an County, Zhejiang Province. It is distributed across counties such as Tunxi, Qimen, Taiping, Jixi, and Jingde in Anhui Province, as well as Dechanghua, Kaihua in Zhejiang Province, and Wuyuan County in Jiangxi Province.

　　The production area has a mild climate with distinct seasons, featuring low crop yields. Pig farming mainly relies on green and roughage feed, with low grain consumption levels, especially during the non-pregnant and early pregnancy stages of sows, as well as the growing period of fattening pigs, where almost no concentrated feed is provided. Farmers raise pigs as a household sideline, primarily for their own consumption. Since ancient times, pig farming in the region has involved exchanges of pig breeds with the outside world.
