Farmers raise pigs to eliminate inbreeding

Inbreeding can be extremely harmful to pig farmers, yet many are unaware of its risks until problems arise. When pigs show health issues or reduced productivity, few consider inbreeding as a possible cause. This lack of awareness can lead to long-term negative impacts on farm efficiency and profitability. To address this issue, livestock husbandry and veterinary departments should prioritize breed improvement. Local animal husbandry and veterinary stations must conduct thorough surveys of boars and sows, create detailed breeding records, and develop scientific breeding plans. They should also establish clear guidelines to prevent mating between close relatives and ensure that all breeding records are properly maintained and shared with farmers. Sow farmers should be encouraged to request proof from pig sellers that the animals are not inbred. At the same time, township and veterinary stations should raise awareness through various channels—such as workshops, leaflets, and on-site visits—educating farmers about the dangers of inbreeding. They should guide farmers to avoid purchasing or keeping inbred pigs, promoting responsible breeding practices that support long-term sustainability and better herd health. By taking these steps, we can help reduce the prevalence of inbreeding and improve the overall quality of pig farming in the region.
