Topigs exports more breeding pigs to China

Five hundred and fifty China-bound breeding pigs have been exported by Topigs, making it the latter's third export in three months. 

The pigs were imported from Topigs' high health SPF nucleus farms in Canada and were delivered to a feed company in Shanghai which has built a brand new breeding farm. These imported breeding pigs will become a key part of an integrated pork production pyramid.

Topigs is continuing to build up its presence in China, the world's biggest market for breeding pigs. A third successful import means that a total of 2,050 breeding animals have been imported in three months.

The imported pigs will provide China's fast-growing professional pig industry with the genetics it needs to realise high-level production.
