　　 In recent years, our district has been at the forefront of modern animal husbandry in the city, becoming the only pilot county-level district for modern animal husbandry. It has formed an integrated pig industry chain encompassing breeding stock production, feed supply, slaughtering and processing, and market sales. The district has successfully explored the 'Yuanba Model' characterized by 'three-chain integration, integrated crop-livestock farming, moderate scale, and circular low-carbon practices', and was established as a national-level standardized production demonstration zone for pig agriculture. The geographical indication certification trademark for 'Yuanba Live Pigs' has been successfully registered. In 2010, the district marketed 721,800 live pigs, with a per capita farming figure of 3.36 pigs, generating a pig industry output value of 760 million yuan.
