These piglets are the foundation for the future growth of the Hypor-Liuhe Group joint venture in the growing pork production industry in China.
The Shandong Hypor Liuhe Breeding Farm began operations in October 2007, when the farm was populated with 820 purebred Large White, Landrace and Duroc gilts and boars, shipped from Hypor's high-health nucleus farms in Saskatchewan, Canada.
The production start-up had been a huge success with breeding conception rates exceeding expectations. Now as the farrowing rooms start to fill up, the farm moves into full production.
