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. Argentina has seen a significant increase in pork production, allowing for the possibility of exporting the meat. Additionally, there is a focus on sustainability and efficiency in pork production, with efforts to reduce carbon footprint and utilize biologicals instead of synthetic molecules or antibiotics.
