According to our understanding, to bring the pig after slaughter home buyers only takes about 25-30 minutes. In fact, the examination of pigs before slaughter through the speakers very style "viewing", and even veterinary staff do not touch the pig that looked just passed quarantine imprinted! When pork is finished harvesting, transporting people to buy through the door just to protect animal health staff directly to buy paper for the quarantine of 5000.
