China is set to open a 26-storey pig factory farm to meet the
country’s accelerating demand for pork, despite animal welfare and
disease outbreak concerns.
Based on the southern outskirts of Ezhou, a city in central China’s
Hubei province, the ‘pig skyscraper’ will be the largest
single-building pig factory farm in the world, with the capacity to
slaughter 1.2 million pigs every year.
The pig farm will provide a combined area of 800,000 sq meters of
space, with the capacity for 650,000 animals at any one time,
according to statements on the company's WeChat account analyzed by
The Guardian. Animals in the 4bn yuan ($557m) farm are fed through
more than 30,000 automatic feeding spots.
