History:

The history of the pig goes back 40 million years, and there are indications that the domestic pig may have come from Europe and Asia. There is evidence of wild boar-like animals traveling through forests and swamps, among other things, in fossils that have been discovered by people.

Wild boars were first domesticated in China, where the history of pig farming dates back to the early to mid-Neolithic period. Pre-Qin Period According to oracle bone inscriptions unearthed in Yinxu, pigs were already housed during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Later, with the development of production, the requirement of differentiating between different pigs gradually arose, and one of the major creations of pig rearing technology in the Shang and Zhou era was the invention of castration technology.

With the development of agricultural production in the Han Dynasty, pigs were raised not only for food, but also for fertilizer. This situation promotes the change of pig rearing methods.
