The industry has made great improvement in breeding, raising,and quality. Hogs have already replaced rice as the top value agricultural product in Taiwan. The problem is that the industry has also generated a lot of waste. Electrified slaughtering has become a standard practice. Processing and storage meet high standards for sanitation and health.
Frozen pork is exported in large volume, mostly to Japan.
In recent years the government has also been promoting electrified slaughtering for poultry as well. This industry will continue to grow, and recently the Taiwan Provincial Government has added electrified slaughtering facilities in the northern, central,and southern parts of the island. In recent years, hoping to increase efficiency in the dairy industry, the government has established two technical service teams and 22 demonstration farms. These assist with technical integration and specialized guidance to lower production costs and raise quality. To promote the healthy development of the animal husbandry industry, the government has established an integrated disease prevention system, and oversees production and use of veterinary medication.
