The pig building is impressive not only for its extraordinary size, but also for the advanced technology it employs. All care, from cleaning, feeding and slaughtering, is performed by the control center using state-of-the-art automated procedures. This state-of-the-art pig building has mobilized over € 580 million in investment. The building is air-conditioned and ventilated to ensure a uniform and stable temperature throughout the year. The robot is responsible for daily monitoring of the pig health and can measure the slightest changes in body temperature.
Le Figaro pointed out that the Wuhan market and its pangolins have gained notoriety over the past three years and China is no stranger to health and food scandals. Furthermore, after four years of African swine fever and other types of swine fever, China really needs to rebuild its flock.
