From February 12th to 13th, 2025, the leading Chinese pig farming company, Mengyuan Co., Ltd. (A-share 002714), once again introduced high-quality breeding sources of Yongcheng Duroc. This marks a new stage in the cooperation between the two parties. The two industry leaders have joined forces to jointly promote the high-quality development of China's pig breeding industry. As the leader in China's pig breeding genetics industry, Yongcheng Breeding Group has reached introduction cooperation with over 70% of listed pig farming enterprises across the country.

Muyuan Co., Ltd., as the leading enterprise in China's pig farming industry, has always been at the forefront of the pig farming industry development with its large-scale, standardized and modernized breeding model. This time, Muyuan Co., Ltd. has taken another crucial step by introducing high-quality Duroc boars from Yongcheng Group. This move marks another solid step for Muyuan Co., Ltd. in optimizing and upgrading its breeding system for pigs, further consolidating its position as the industry leader and setting a new benchmark for the high-quality development of China's pig industry.

Muyuan Co., Ltd. introduced the Yongcheng line of breeding sows as part of the display of Duroc boars.

Why has Yongcheng repeatedly received the favor of industry leaders?

Genetic breakthrough: Growth rate remains leading the pack

Yongcheng Duroc boars, with their outstanding genetic advantages, exhibit excellent growth performance and genetic potential. In the monthly ranking of national core breeding farms, Duroc pigs consistently rank first in corrected age, advancing 15-20 days faster than the national average.

In 2024, it will take only 154.3 days for the entire group of Yongcheng Duroc boars to reach a body weight of 120 kg at the age of 180 days. Through the innovation of the Duroc, Landrace and Yorkshire trihybrid breeding system, the standard for commercial pigs to reach 159.6 kg at 180 days of age will be achieved, setting a new benchmark for industry efficiency.

International Manufacturing: Building a Top-level Breeding Matrix

Yongcheng Breeding Group has meticulously assembled an outstanding breeding research team, led by senior breeding experts and in collaboration with international authoritative experts, including Professor Schenkler from Purdue University in the United States. This forms a research matrix of "local experience + international perspective". Relying on continuously advancing genetic improvement technologies, they are committed to integrating international advanced breeding concepts and techniques with China's actual conditions, cultivating Yongcheng breed pigs that are more suitable for China's national conditions.

Health Barrier: Construction of a Five-Level Security System

We are well aware that the health of the breeding stock is the cornerstone for the sustainable development of the pig industry. Yongcheng Breeding Group has innovatively established an industry-leading five-level biosecurity protection system. Through precise risk assessment and strict control throughout the process, a robust defense line has been erected to safeguard the health of the breeding pigs. The core breeding pig population has achieved complete negative results for major diseases such as blue ear disease, PED, African swine fever, and pseudorabies.

Capacity foundation: Layout of super seed source bases

The future plan of Yongcheng Breeding Group is to establish five genetic core farms, aiming to build a grand goal of 12,720 core breeding populations. Relying on over 18,000 acres of natural isolation belts, it intends to build a world-class pig breeding enterprise, continuously providing stable genetic performance and healthy pig resources for the industry, which can meet 10% of the demand in China's pig breeding market and continuously provide strong genetic source guarantees for the high-quality development of China's pig industry.

This introduction cooperation is a model of strong alliance between two leading enterprises in the industry. It will have a profound impact on the pig breeding industry and is an important practice in implementing the national strategy of revitalizing the seed industry. We are committed to continuously achieving genetic progress and innovating the Yongcheng genes, with the goal of cultivating the Yongcheng line of pigs that are more suitable for China's national conditions, and writing a new chapter in China's seed industry!
