“The capacity of a new pig-breeding farm is 11,6 thousand sows at a time and about 7 thousand weaned pigs per week.

The total investment in the project amounted to 1.3 billion rubles”, - the message released by the press office reads.
Infrastructure of the pig-breeding farm fully rules out access of the outside transport, there are special stations for handling feed and piglets that minimizes the contact of industrial premises with the environment.
