Black pigs have gradually become common in recent years, and the better-known breeds at present are roughly the Taihu sow, the Northeast Min pig, the Bamei pig, and a few others. In fact, there are many breeds of black pigs, and today Qinnong Network will tell you about several black pig breeds that are relatively easy to raise, so you have a better basis for comparison when choosing.
1. Laiwu Black Pig
The Laiwu black pig is currently one of the more distinctive pork breeds on the pork market, and is a pig breed recognized by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.

It produces the most piglets per litter, and the current record for the most piglets born is held by the Taihu sow. Its advantage lies in reproduction, and compared with other pig breeds it also fattens extremely quickly. In terms of genetic performance, it can ensure high-quality output from its offspring.
3. Northeast Min Pig
A native old pig breed of the Northeast, and a world-class, well-known high-quality pig breed. Because it is located in the Northeast, the Northeast Min pig can be called the "cold-resistance pioneer" of the pig world. Historical hardship did not defeat it; its long history forged the Northeast Min pig's strong cold resistance and tolerance for roughage feeding. Such geographical reasons also ensure its firm, fine meat texture and extremely high lean meat ratio. It is also one of the meat pigs that sell very well on the market.
4. Bamei Pig
This pig breed, originating from the Loess Plateau, shows everyone what tenacious vitality means, with extremely high production performance. On this barren land it can still mature extremely quickly, has strong absorption capacity, and has high stress resistance. The Bamei pig is a breed leaning toward the meat-fat type, generally able to leave the pen at 8 months, and can grow to about 80KG. Economic returns are quick, and the profits will be quite good.
5. Tibetan Pig
This is a pig breed mainly produced on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The harsh climate has cultivated the Tibetan pig's extremely high resistance and strong adaptability.
