Large-scale pig farming involves key aspects such as pig farm infrastructure construction, pig herd production management techniques, and the pig herd production environment. Good pig farm infrastructure and feeding management are essential. Technology and production environment conditions can greatly improve the health and productivity of pig herds, driving the high-level development of the pig farming industry. GB/T 17824 Aimed at providing advanced and practical technological support for large-scale pig farming, it is proposed to consist of three parts.
