China to use "pig apartments" for preventing swine flu

As in 2018, the world's pig population halved when China lost 200 million pigs to African swine fever, a new way of preventing this seems to be having pig separated by apartment blocks.

A private pig company is building a high-rise pig city on China's Mount Yaji that could produce 840,000 pigs a year when complete.

This would mean not so positive news for other substitutes of pork meats, as demand for Australian beef, lamb and even grains could drop as the pig herd regrows.
