Every pig's meat in Japan is special supply meat; there is no need to deliberately produce it.

Japan may be the country with the most widespread use of mechanized production in the pig farming industry in the world, while at the same time best balancing pork quality. The former is due to Japan's high labor costs and well-developed machinery industry, while the latter reflects the professional quality of Japanese livestock farmers and the Japanese government's comprehensive livestock production management system.

Many pig farms in Japan are built in the suburbs or on hillsides in rural areas, which ensures ample sunlight and fresh air. At the same time, Japanese people also attach great importance to the development of a circular economy, and often plant tea trees or fruit trees around pig farms, and based on the actual needs of the pig farm, specially plant enough pig feed nearby.

In Japan, basically all pig farms do not place too much pressure on the environment. Chinese people may have headaches over dealing with waste such as pig manure and pig urine, while Japanese people regard these as another profit point. Most pig farms in Japan are equipped with special pig manure fermentation and composting equipment. After biological heat fermentation, pig manure becomes dark brown granular material. This organic fertilizer is the most welcome fertilizer product among Japanese farmers.

Furthermore, Japanese people are also very strict in management when feeding pig herds. Different pigs eat quite different feed. Generally speaking, Japanese pig farms are equipped with about seven kinds of feed, namely boar feed, sow feed, two kinds of piglet feed and three kinds of finishing pig feed.

These feeds are all formulated by scientific researchers according to the physical condition and actual needs of different pigs, contain no antibiotics at all, are very beneficial to the growth and development of pigs, and have no side effects whatsoever, fully guaranteeing pork quality!

In addition, Japanese pig farms pay great attention to temperature control in pig houses. In hot and humid weather like now, Japanese pig farms are equipped with rolling blinds around them, providing excellent shade and ventilation. At the same time, each pen is equipped with a water mist spraying system, which sprays about once every half an hour to ensure that the pigs do not experience a rise in body temperature.

And in winter, electric heating wires are already laid in the floors of Japanese pig farms, especially with thoughtful equipment in piglet houses. Even the floor of the pig house feels warm to the touch, so there is no need to worry at all that piglets will get sick because of low temperatures. This avoids the use of many antibiotics or veterinary drugs.

So, Japan does not have pig farms specifically raising special supply pigs, because Japanese livestock farmers raise every pig as a special supply pig. Japanese people also do not deliberately produce any special supply meat, because every pig's meat in Japan is special supply meat! Officials and ordinary people all eat this kind of meat.
