ZhuJia AI—Big Data Pig Breeding Service Provider
China consumes 680 million pigs annually, making it the world's largest producer and consumer of pork. However, China's core breeding pig population only includes 150,000 pigs, which can meet just 20% of the 680 million commercial pigs' production capacity. As a result, China’s pig industry is characterized by ""large scale but low efficiency,"" with key indicators such as litter size and feed conversion rate lagging behind those of foreign countries. To maximize profits, more than 80% of breeding companies in China import breeding stock from abroad, with sources controlled by foreign quotas, leading to an industrial outflow of up to 96 billion yuan. Due to long-term neglect of the breeding process by domestic pig farming companies, high-quality foreign genetic data cannot be retained, leading to a vicious cycle of import, degradation, and re-import. China's pig breeding industry faces severe challenges, including a weak foundation, lack of professional teams, and insufficient technical capabilities.

Advantages of Genomic Selection Technology Genomic selection technology utilizes high-throughput sequencing to identify genes linked to specific traits, enabling the breeding of new varieties through sequence-assisted selection and transgenic methods. By integrating deep learning and big data algorithms, this approach enhances the accuracy and speed of breed improvement for traits like litter size and meat quality. Unlike traditional phenotype-based selection, genomic selection focuses on genome-wide markers, allowing for more precise genetic evaluations and early selection at a lower cost. This method significantly improves traits that are challenging to enhance through conventional breeding, reduces generational intervals, and minimizes inbreeding while maintaining genetic progress. Overall, genomic selection offers a substantial increase in the reliability of breeding values compared to traditional methods.
National Achievement Awards The project team, based at the College of Animal Science, Sichuan Agricultural University, is guided by experts such as Professor Li Xuewei, Professor Li Mingzhou, and Professor Zhu Li, who have decades of breeding experience. The team has won two National Science and Technology Second Prizes, one National Science and Technology Progress Award, and three Provincial Science and Technology Progress Awards.
