Where is the specialty of Hechuan Black Pig?

Hechuan Black Pig is a geographical indication certification trademark.

"Hechuan Black Pig" originated from the local "mud pig stabbing pig", which has strong adaptability, delicious meat, good mane quality and strong reproductive ability. It is a local pig breed formed by long-term breeding, with a history of 1600 years. However, in recent years, due to the strong impact of foreign high-yield breeding pigs, the number of "Hechuan black pigs" has dropped sharply. The staff of Hechuan District Animal Husbandry Station said that there are only 27,800 boars in the whole region, especially 1 1 boars, which are on the verge of extinction.

Chongqing local breed standard of Hechuan black pig clearly stipulates the breed characteristics and breeding pig grade evaluation of Hechuan black pig. Experts from the Pig Professional Committee of the National Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources Committee and the Municipal Agriculture Committee believe that the formulation of this standard is "conducive to the breed preservation, breeding and promotion of Hechuan Black Pig".

Previously, in order to save this precious breeding pig breed, Hechuan established a black pig reserve and even "distributed" nutrition fees to boars of Hechuan black pig. At present, the local animal husbandry department is applying for the identification of national livestock breed resources, and strives to establish a core breeding farm for the protection of "Hechuan Black Pig" resources.

Brand is a remarkable symbol of modern animal husbandry and the only way to develop high-end, high-quality and efficient animal husbandry. Since the successful application for geographical indication trademark of Hechuan Black Pig last year, in order to give full play to the leading role of Hechuan Black Pig brand, tap the potential of local variety resources, expand local advantageous industries and promote the development of modern pig industry in Hechuan District, Hechuan District Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau has planned to build a core area for the protection of Hechuan Black Pig variety resources between Qiantang Town and Shayu Town, so as to create local characteristic brands and promote farmers' sustained and stable income increase.

First, plan and build 1 core seed conservation farm and five breeding farms in the seed conservation area, and further strengthen the research on the excellent characteristics of "Hechuan Black Pig" such as meat flavor, fecundity, stress resistance and roughage resistance. The unique excellent characteristics of Hechuan Black Pig are compatible with the characteristics of fast growth and high lean meat rate of foreign pig breeds, so as to develop characteristic pig products, improve people's living standards, ensure the quality and safety of pork products and enhance the market competitiveness of pig industry.

The second is to strengthen the breeding, development and utilization of Hechuan Black Pig. To strengthen conservation breeding and resource development and utilization, Hechuan District Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau organized animal husbandry experts to enter the village, and conducted technical training for Hechuan black pig farmers (farms) in the reserve by combining centralized classes, on-site guidance and technical services. The main content of the training is to teach and guide technologies such as disease prevention, feeding management, bio-environmental aquaculture and sewage recycling. Promote standardized production and improve the professional quality of farmers, so that farmers (farms) of Hechuan black pig can have certain management ability and concept on the basis of mastering certain animal husbandry technology, adapt to the needs of the times and develop Hechuan black pig for them.

The third is to strengthen the supervision of the construction of the core area of "Hechuan Black Pig" variety resource protection. In strict accordance with the national standards for performance testing of breeding pigs and local standards for Hechuan black pigs, improve the performance testing and breeding record file system of Hechuan black pigs, and do a good job in evaluating Hechuan black pigs and updating the elimination of pigs. Set up protection warning signs in Hechuan Black Pig Reserve. Economic hybridization is strictly prohibited in the reserve. The technical files of pig identification, seed selection and feeding management in the reserve are well prepared, and the files are managed by special personnel.

The fourth is to intensify advertising and expand brand influence in an all-round way. Brand is the market. If you want to win in the fierce competition, you must establish your own unique brand. In order to launch the Hechuan Black Pig brand, our district has made full use of large-scale festivals such as the Agricultural Fair and the Chongqing Geographical Indications Product Fair, a well-known trademark enterprise in China, and organized and mobilized representatives of Hechuan Black Pig farmers (farms) to participate in trade fairs and product exhibitions, display and promote local special products, and continuously improve product visibility.
