The Development and Causes of Pig Industry in Modern Inner Mongolia
The development of agriculture in the modern Inner Mongolia region laid a basic social production environment for pig farming,provided feed sources and breeding techniques,and led to the initial development of the pig farming industry.The commercialization of pigs and their by-products,as well as the animal husbandry development policies formulated by the government,academia,and other forces to cope with"rural bankruptcy",as well as the introduction of livestock breeds and technologies,have further promoted the development of Mongolian pig farming.The proportion of pigs in the livestock structure of multiple areas in Inner Mongolia is gradually surpassing that of cows,horses,and camels,and the pattern of"Mongolian five livestock"occupying the main body is gradually shaking.The surge in the number of live pig breeding and the increasing proportion of pigs in the livestock structure can be described as a major change in livestock production in Inner Mongolia.There are complex driving forces behind this change,reflecting the development and changes of modern Inner Mongolia's social economy.However,due to social unrest,limited government involvement,and neglect of cultural factors in Inner Mongolia,the pig farming industry in Inner Mongolia fell into decline after a brief period of development.
