The Fengjing pig is a domestic breed from Shanghai, China, named after the town which forms a district of Shanghai. Its main locations are in the districts of Jinshan, Songjiang and Wujiang. The Fengjing is classified as a type of Taihu pig which all occur in the narrow region of mild sub-tropical climate around the Taihu Lake region.[1] The Fengjing is a large black pig with large floppy ears. It is distinguished by its distinctive highly wrinkled face and also has a wrinkled body. The Fengjing has very high rates of breeding, producing two litters per year of an average 12 piglets at first parity rising to 17 piglets at third parity with 12 surviving to be weaned. Litter sizes of up to 20 occur regularly. The pig grows relatively slowly and has a good, succulent, taste.
