I love polar bears. They’re super floofy looking and generally do not eat hoomans, so that’s great.
But polar bear sized pigs?
China Is Breeding Giant Pigs The Size Of Polar Bears
Just to give you a comparison, pigs usually grow up to around 380kg, whereas polar bears can grow up to 500kg.
A farm located in the Southern region of China is actually breeding massive pigs that are as heavy as a polar bear.
Some of these pigs can be sold for more than $1,900. I’m just imagining the number of pork ribs and pork belly they’re gonna get from this.
According to The Straits Times, this amount is three times higher than the average monthly disposable income in Nanning, the capital of Guangxi province.
Why Are They Doing This?
Then comes the question: Why the **** are they even breeding gigantic pigs? Well, there seems to be a pork shortage in China and the idea of ‘bigger is better’ is becoming infectious across Chinese farms.
I’m not sure I agree.
Also, the Chinese are one of the world’s largest fan of pork, so there is a need to meet the demand.
The average weight of pigs in north-eastern China is now 175kg to 200kg, compared to the normal weight of 125kg.
That’s around 50-75kg heavier. Well.. that ain’t so bad, I think.
They want to raise them “as big as possible”, said Mr Zhao Hailin, a hog farmer in the region.
Big Chinese Farms Are Also Raising Big Pigs
Both small farms and big farms in China are adopting the notion that bigger is better.
Farms like Wens Foodstuffs Group, China’s largest pig breeder are among those who are also trying to ramp up their pig’s weights by at least 14%, according to a senior analyst with Bric Agriculture Group.
He also said, “The average weight of pigs at slaughter at some large-scale farms has climbed to as much as 140kg, compared with about 110kg normally.”
He added that this could also result in profits increasing by more than 30%.
That makes sense, I mean, big pig equals to big money.
For all you know, in the future, we could be seeing 100kg chickens.
