Tridge summary

Chicken has surpassed pork as the most consumed animal protein in the world due to the African swine fever epidemic in China. Small-scale pig farmers were greatly impacted by the epidemic and were replaced by modern high-tech hatcheries.

Thus, in precarious systems like that of Chinese families, they are fed with domestic garbage and the remains of other products associated with the grains that are produced in each location. However, due to the crisis, a large part of this productive scale disappeared, being replaced by modern high-tech hatcheries.
