What is a forked pig?

Yachapig was named after its origin in Yacha Town (now Guanwen Town), Gulin County, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province.

According to Gulin County Records, the bifurcation pig was brought in by immigrants in the early Qing Dynasty. According to research, this breed of pig was brought into development when Jiangxi and Huguang immigrated to Sichuan, and has been raised in this county for more than 300 years. From 65438 to 0976, through the investigation of pig breeding resources in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces, the pigs raised in Yacha, Qianjiang, Qingyu, Beimiao, Taihe, Bazhong and Nanjiang in the mountainous areas around the Sichuan Basin were named as "Mountain Pigs Around the Basin" and recorded in "Livestock and Poultry Variety Records of Sichuan Province". The agricultural production and socio-economic level in the producing areas are relatively low, with vast land and sparsely populated, large per capita arable land and relatively cold climate. Most people rely on pigs to accumulate fat and like to eat fat. In pig production, a large amount of green wild feed is generally fed at the stage of shelf pigs, and corn, sweet potato and potato with more energy are concentrated at the end of fattening, thus gradually forming pig breeds that adapt to local natural conditions, have strong fat deposition and have more belly fat.
