Muyan Foods is nearing completion of a hog complex in Neixiang County in Henan Province. According to Reuters the facility will comprise twenty-one buildings each of six levels. The projected output is 2.1 million marketable hogs annually from 85,000 gilts and sows housed.
The justification for this high concentration of animals in multistory structures is questioned given that China has yet to develop a vaccine against African swine fever. There are no details on how waste will be processed. Based on existing intensive livestock operations in China, aerobic digesters will be installed to convert waste to power for the complex.
