Eastern Jiangxi Black Pig

Eastern Jiangxi Black Pig

　　The Eastern Jiangxi Black Pig, commonly known as the Nancheng Black Pig, has a long breeding history and is one of the seven premium pig breeds in Jiangxi Province. It boasts advantages such as strong tolerance to coarse feed, high litter rates, strong lactation ability, and a high proportion of lean meat, making it an excellent maternal breed for producing commercial pigs through two-way or three-way crossbreeding. The Nancheng County Livestock Breeding Farm is a provincially designated base for the original stock of the Eastern Jiangxi Black Pig under the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Agriculture. In 1998, 329,000 high-quality lean-type pigs produced through three-way crossbreeding based on the Eastern Jiangxi Black Sow were sold, with exports reaching Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Fujian, and other regions, earning widespread favor among breeders and consumers.
