Chinese pigs fed new menu as Beijing weans farmers off US soy |

At the edge of one of the many pig farms spread across the vast, unbroken floodplains of Taizhou, a two-hour drive northwest of Shanghai, a pair of square, four-meter pools of acrid-smelling ochre liquid hold the key to cutting costly soybean use in half.
The pools hold a swill of cheaper, locally sourced ingredients, which can include brans, pumpkin vines and wine lees. But it is fermented - like yogurt - so the proteins are already broken down and easy to digest, lessening the need for the higher-quality proteins in soy, 80% of which China imports. The grassroots fixation on overheads belies Beijing's more strategic motivations: long‑term food security and increased self‑reliance. | |
