PRRS Resistance Breeding

In collaboration with specialist research institutions, BGG is conducting genomic research to identify resistance-associated genetic markers in swine, working towards breeding lines with improved natural resilience to PRRS. The programme is progressing steadily.

Digital Operations

Fully Digital Breeding Operations

Breaking down traditional information silos in animal breeding — enabling seamless digital coordination from the laboratory bench to the pig house production line.

Paperless Farm Operations

Paperless Farm Operations

Farm-wide PDA mobile data entry for production, vaccination, and transfer events — achieving zero paper across all operational workflows. Data uploads to the cloud in real time, eliminating manual transcription errors.

Real-time response speed improved by 300%
Full-Chain Traceability

Full-Chain Traceability

A complete digital identity is established for every pig. From the selection of an embryo, through EBV evaluation, to final entry into the production system — every step is traceable and verifiable.

One pig, one code — lifetime traceability
AI-Assisted Mating

AI-Assisted Mating

Automated mating recommendations generated by deep learning models. The algorithm automatically avoids inbreeding depression while optimising across multiple key phenotypes including litter size and FCR.

AI recommendation accuracy: 94%
Smart Farm Climate Control

Smart Farm Climate Control

IoT sensor networks continuously monitor pig body temperature, feed intake, barn temperature and humidity, and CO₂ concentration. The system automatically triggers climate control adjustments to reduce energy consumption and minimise human error and disease risk.

From 2011 to Now

Fifteen Years of Breeding Progress

2011

Company Founded

Company Founded

Formally established in Beijing with the mission to develop China's own swine genetics chip and advance national breed independence.

2013

Foundation Import & Farm Build-out

Import & Infrastructure

First high-standard nucleus farms completed in North China. Top-tier great-grandparent stock imported from Canada — no live pigs have been imported since.

2015

Whole-Genome Selection Implemented

Genomic Selection

BGG was among the first in China to implement whole-genome selection, significantly improving genetic evaluation accuracy and expanding selection traits from 5 to 11.

2018

National Nucleus Farm Accreditation

National Recognition

Multiple farms accredited as national nucleus breeding farms. BGG became the only enterprise in the industry with Duroc, Landrace and Yorkshire all simultaneously meeting national nucleus standards.

2021

Full R&D Centre Upgrade

R&D Center Upgrade

Molecular breeding centre established, deepening industry-academia-research collaboration. CNAS P2-level laboratory received formal accreditation in early 2025.
