This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in raising hogs and pigs. These establishments may include farming activities, such as breeding, farrowing, and the raising of weanling pigs, feeder pigs, or market size hogs.
Industry trends:
The Hog and Pig Farming industry, classified under NAICS 11221, is experiencing several notable qualitative trends. Increased consumer awareness about animal welfare and sustainability is driving a shift toward more ethical farming practices. Producers are increasingly adopting advanced technologies such as precision farming, genetic selection, and IoT devices to enhance productivity and animal health.
Biosecurity measures are becoming more stringent in response to rising concerns about disease outbreaks, such as African Swine Fever. There is also a growing emphasis on antibiotic-free production due to consumer demand for healthier and more organic meat options. The trend toward vertical integration is gaining traction, allowing farms to control the entire supply chain and improve efficiency.
In terms of forecasts, the industry is likely to see continued consolidation as larger farms acquire smaller operations to achieve economies of scale. Market access and trade agreements will play a crucial role in shaping the sector's future, particularly in light of evolving geopolitical dynamics. Innovations in alternative proteins and lab-grown meat may also pose competition, driving traditional hog farmers to further innovate to stay competitive.
