The world's largest pig breeding country

Do you know which country is the most advanced country in raising pigs? Many people will think of the United States. But in fact, the world's first pig farming country, but not the United States, but a European country, this country is surprisingly the northern European Denmark, raising 10,000 pigs only 3 people, the human-pig ratio of 1:5.

Europe's number one country for pig farming

As one of the five major Nordic countries, Denmark has a relatively complete welfare system and is also a highly developed capitalist country. However, it is such a European and American country, but still to raise pigs for a living, even if the per capita annual salary of 300,000 yuan, now still rely on pig farming to make a fortune.

In the past, I always thought that China is the world's largest pig breeding country, but after this time, I learned that Denmark is the number one pig breeding country. Denmark is a country with not much land area, the area is only as big as a province in China. With a small population, the local demand for pork is naturally not that big, so ninety percent of Denmark's pork is exported directly to foreign countries, making it the largest pork exporter in the world today.

First of all, geographically, Denmark has a land area of 34,000 square kilometers and a total population of only 5.5 million, which is equivalent to the size of one of our provinces. To put it in an inappropriate way, the number of pigs in Denmark is more than the total population, and in addition to supplying domestic consumption needs, more than 30 million head are exported overseas every year.

Then some people may ask why the number of piglets sired in Denmark is so high when the same pig is raised. It is not difficult to understand, because in the local area, pig feed is usually processed and configured by themselves, and each farm is also equipped with a special planting area.

You can't add drugs to pigs, even in the whole industry in Denmark, it is explicitly prohibited.
