Summary

This book covers the origin and development of the Min pig breed, its breed characteristics and performance, feeding and management, nutrient requirements and common feeds, and its development, utilization, and brand building.

Editor's review

Modern Farming of the Min Pig, edited by He Xinmiao, a researcher at the Heilongjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, is a modern, standardized farming technology guide focused on the Min pig, a native Chinese breed. This is not a general-purpose farming manual: it integrates the climate characteristics, feed resources, and modern livestock science and technology of Northeast China to systematically explain the breed's characteristics, nutritional requirements, scientific feeding and management, disease prevention and control, and pig farm construction. Its content has a solid theoretical basis and also incorporates a large amount of practical, operable technology from research and frontline practice, reflecting a shift from traditional experience-based farming to data-driven, refined management. For practitioners who intend to enter or are already engaged in Min pig farming, the value of this book lies in providing a complete, proven modern farming framework that helps improve farming efficiency, safeguard pork quality, and ultimately achieve better economic and ecological benefits. At the same time, the book's discussion of the protection, development, and utilization of Min pig genetic resources gives it an industry perspective that goes beyond a mere technical manual.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Professional farmers and farm managers planning to enter or already engaged in Min pig farming
  • Students and researchers in animal husbandry and veterinary medicine using it as reference material on native pig breed research
  • Investors and operators interested in the industry chain of premium Chinese livestock products such as black pork
  • Grassroots animal husbandry technology extension staff who need to systematically learn modern standardized farming techniques

Not a good fit for

  • Ordinary household readers seeking only pet pig care information
  • Readers hoping for quick-rich "shortcuts" or general, superficial farming theory

Reading tips

  1. Read the first chapter in full first to build an overall understanding of the Min pig's breed characteristics and economic value.
  2. Based on your own farm's specific conditions, focus on the chapters on feeding management and disease prevention and control, and take notes.
  3. Compare the book's technical parameters (such as feed ratios and environmental control standards) with actual practice, and adjust and optimize step by step.

FAQ

Is this book suitable for complete beginners with no farming experience?
The book is positioned more as professional guidance and assumes readers have some basic animal husbandry knowledge or farming practice background. Complete beginners may need to first acquire basic animal husbandry concepts or learn alongside on-site guidance.
Are the technical standards in the book applicable to southern regions?
The content is mainly written based on the environmental and resource conditions of Northeast China. Southern readers should pay particular attention to how climate differences (such as high temperature and humidity) affect pig house design, disease prevention and control, and feeding management, and adjust flexibly rather than applying the book rigidly.
Does the book cover the latest biosecurity and environmentally friendly farming content?
Yes. Modern farming concepts run throughout the book, especially in the chapters on disease prevention and control and pig farm environmental management, which emphasize building biosecurity systems and resource utilization of manure, in line with current industry trends.

About the author

何鑫淼 Author

He Xinmiao: publicly available information is limited, and only one work by this author is known, Modern Farming of Min Pigs, classified under agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry. The subject suggests an interest in the modern raising of the Min pig, a local Chinese breed, likely covering practical aspects such as feeding management, breeding and reproduction, pig farm construction, and disease prevention and control, and aimed at breeders and grassroots technical staff. Books of this kind tend to be practice-oriented, plainly written, and focused on operational steps and summarized experience rather than theoretical exposition. Because the author's life, identity, and academic background cannot be verified, judgments about writing style and professional influence must remain cautious and based only on this work: it may serve as a reference on Min pig farming and offer basic knowledge for the conservation and commercial use of local pig genetic resources. Further information about the author awaits new sources.
