Han Jun pointed out that the pig industry is an important industry related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and pork is an important "basket product" for urban and rural residents. It is necessary to stabilize pig and pork prices and effectively ensure stable production and supply. Currently, the pig industry faces issues such as temporarily high production capacity and significant risks of production and price fluctuations. At the same time, tasks such as controlling major animal diseases, handling livestock manure, and supervising slaughter and quarantine are challenging, and there are still many shortcomings restricting the transformation and upgrading of the industry. Strictly implement capacity control measures, reasonably eliminate breeding sows, appropriately reduce the stock of breeding sows, decrease secondary fattening, control the weight of fat pigs at market, and strictly control new production capacity. ## The original text is as follows: **The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs holds a symposium emphasizing** **Continuously strengthen capacity control and adopt multiple measures to reduce costs and increase efficiency** **Promote the stable and healthy development of the pig industry** On July 23, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs held a symposium to promote the high-quality development of the pig industry, chaired by Han Jun, the Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Minister. The meeting emphasized the need to earnestly implement the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, carry out the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, further strengthen market guidance and policy support, improve the comprehensive capacity control mechanism for pig production, promote the stable operation of the pig market, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the pig industry, and promote the stable and healthy development of the pig industry. At the symposium, representatives from Muyuan Foods, Charoen Pokphand Group, Sichuan Dekang Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Foods, Beijing DBN Group, Guangxi Yangxiang, Shandong Jincheng Haoda Company, Song Jianpeng Breeding Farm in Zezhou County, Shanxi, Wen's Food Group, Chongqing Qitai Jiamu, Twin Group, and Henan Shuanghui, as well as main leaders from the agricultural and rural affairs departments of Sichuan, Henan, and Guangdong provinces, the chief expert of the National Pig Industry Technology System, and the main leaders of the China Animal Husbandry Association spoke. Everyone generally reflected that in recent years, China's capacity to maintain stable production and supply of pigs has continuously strengthened, the supply capacity of breeding stock has significantly improved, biosecurity measures have been effectively implemented, and production efficiency and industry quality have been continuously enhanced. Since the second half of last year, timely counter-cyclical adjustments have been made to guide orderly reductions in pig production capacity, achieving significant results. Pig farming has been profitable for 14 consecutive months since May last year, and the overall production situation of pigs is relatively good. Han Jun listened carefully to everyone's speeches, engaged in in-depth exchanges on relevant issues, and required further improvement of relevant policy measures to firmly prevent large fluctuations in production and prices, effectively eliminate deep-seated constraints on the high-quality development of the pig industry, and enhance the overall quality and competitiveness of pig industry development. Han Jun pointed out that the pig industry is an important industry related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and pork is an important "basket product" for urban and rural residents. It is necessary to stabilize pig and pork prices and effectively ensure stable production and supply. Currently, the pig industry faces issues such as temporarily high production capacity and significant risks of production and price fluctuations. At the same time, tasks such as controlling major animal diseases, handling livestock manure, and supervising slaughter and quarantine are challenging, and there are still many shortcomings restricting the transformation and upgrading of the industry. Strictly implement capacity control measures, reasonably eliminate breeding sows, appropriately reduce the stock of breeding sows, decrease secondary fattening, control the weight of fat pigs at market, and strictly control new production capacity. Accelerate the establishment of a modern pig breeding system, strengthen the development and utilization of pig genetic resources, promote independent innovation in pig breeding, and support pig breeding enterprises to improve and strengthen We must remain vigilant in preventing and controlling swine diseases, accelerate the improvement of epidemic prevention shortcomings in small and medium-sized farms, strictly regulate swine quarantine, and ensure that regional major animal epidemics do not occur. We should deeply carry out grain-saving actions in the breeding industry, vigorously promote low-protein diet technology, and continuously advance the reduction and substitution of soybean meal. We need to promote the transformation and upgrading of the entire swine industry chain, accelerate the updating and renovation of livestock facilities and equipment, promote the application of the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence, integrate and promote advanced and applicable breeding technologies, and drive the digital transformation of the swine industry. We must comprehensively advance safe and standardized slaughtering of swine, severely investigate and punish illegal activities in the slaughter and quarantine process, and actively promote the resource utilization of manure. We should encourage large enterprises to establish close cooperative mechanisms with small and medium-sized farms through contract farming and entrusted breeding, enabling cooperative farmers to share in the dividends of industrial development. Zhang Zhili, a member of the Party Leadership Group and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Chief Veterinary Officer Tao Huaiying, and Chief Livestock Officer Wang Lejun attended the meeting.
