Abstract: Farrow-to-finish systems (FFS) are the primary pig production in China, but decoupled crop and livestock systems and inadequate farm management practices have caused environmental issues. The Enterprise Plus Pig Farms (EPS) model integrates specialized pig farms with livestock enterprises through contracts, forming standardized production networks and adopting new technologies to tackle challenges caused by FFS.
