Zongdi Six-Flower Pig

Zongdi Six-Flower Pig

　　The Zongdi native flower pig is raised in the picturesque heart of the Mashan Mountains, where the landscape is beautiful, the seasons are distinct, and the climate is mild. The area boasts naturally enchanting scenery, and its unique geographical environment has created a pristine, pollution-free ecological setting. These pigs grow in a natural green oxygen bar filled with lush vegetation, fragrant mountain flowers, and fresh air, surrounded by abundant wild forage. This green, pollution-free natural environment allows them to maintain the most natural growth state.

　　 In addition to feed made from ingredients such as corn and soybeans, Zongdi flower pigs also enjoy eating wild greens — particularly wild buckwheat. Known locally as “deer hoof grass,” wild buckwheat is an excellent green feed for the pigs. Deer hoof grass is believed to have beneficial effects on high blood lipids, high blood pressure, retinitis caused by diabetes, and cerebral hemorrhage resulting from hypertension.

　　 The free-range, natural farming method helps the Zongdi flower pigs retain meat that is brightly colored, tender, low in fat but rich in texture, with fat that is smooth and not greasy. The pork is rich in protein, organic iron, amino acids, and other nutrients essential to the human body. Besides conventional cooking methods, the pork is also used to make especially flavorful dishes such as bone broth, cured pork, and sausages, earning it the nickname “fragrant pork.” It is especially popular during holidays and festivals.

　　 The Zongdi native flower pig has a minimum growth cycle of about one to one and a half years. No artificial additives or feed are ever used in their diet, ensuring the natural quality of the pork. According to scientific comparisons, various indicators of the Zongdi native pig’s meat quality significantly surpass those of the Large White pig. The breed has also been recognized by China’s Ministry of Agriculture with the “Pollution-Free Livestock Product Origin Certification” and the “Zongdi Flower Pig Pollution-Free Product Certification.”

　　The Zongdi Flower Pig from Ziyun Autonomous County originates in Zongdi Township and is considered the “staple pig breed” among communities in the southern Ziyun region. Zongdi Township has a pig population of over 15,000, including 3,200 breeding sows and more than 50 boars. The Zongdi flower pig is medium to small in size, with black-and-white spotted fur. Its limbs, belly, neck, forehead, and tail tip are white, while the rest of the body is black. The head is of medium size, often with a rat-like shape, and the snout is straight, sometimes long and pointed. The back is mostly straight, though some are slightly concave, and the limbs are upright and slightly spread apart, with a large, loose, drooping belly. Sows have well-developed udders with symmetrical, evenly spaced teats. The Zongdi flower pig is hardy, adaptable, easy to fatten, and produces high-quality, thin-skinned meat. The average slaughter rate is 63.9%, with leaf lard accounting for 11.3% of body weight. It is a dual-purpose breed for both meat and fat. During holidays, customers from cities like Guiyang and Anshun frequently come to Zongdi to purchase flower pig pork for making cured meats and sausages. Known as “fragrant pork,” this product is a highly distinctive local agricultural and livestock item with strong potential for trademark registration and protection.
