Improving Yield and Quality of Wild Pork and Pigs in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam - and Solutions to Enhance Competitiveness to Thailand and China

Abstract

Thanapongtharm (2016) stated that in Thailand, pig production intensified significantly during the last decade, with many economic, epidemiological and environmental implications. Also detailed geographical analysis of the different production systems will be used to spatially-inform planning decisions for pig farming accounting for the specific health, environment and economical implications of the different pig production systems. Pig farming is very important in Vietnam, esp. In Thai Nguyen city and Northern provinces, pork products are suitable for people's taste. At present, most pig breeds are selected and raised in accordance with local conditions, especially wild boar and hybrids are very popular with people, the demand for products is increasing day by day. Lander et al (2020) pointed Pigs have played a central role in the subsistence and culture of China for millennia. The close relationship between pigs and people began when humans gradually domesticated wild pigs over 8,000 years ago. While pigs initially foraged around settlements, population growth led people to pen their pigs, which made them household trash processors and fertilizer producers. Study results show for instance, For commercial cross-bred wild boar farming, a diet with a protein level of 16-14% and a metabolic energy level of 3000-2900 kcal/kg of feed in the diet for growth and fattening most appropriate, which has both the growth ability of hybrid wild pigs and economic efficiency under semi-wild breeding conditions in Thai Nguyen ecological environment. Last but not least authors present food processing of wild pigs into delicious stir-dried pork.
