Description
Summary:"Due to the dominant role of household animal raising in China's animal production, an improved understanding of household animal raising practices is essential to study China's feedgrain markets. This paper reports the findings from a rural household survey we conducted recently in a traditional pig-raising region of China. It was specially designed to examine issues related to household animal raising practices such as animal raising scale, sources of feed, composition of feed and feeding efficiency. Discussed also are implications of the findings on China's regional feedgrain markets." -- p. 1.
