加拿大猪肉需求强劲，支持生猪价格上涨

　　CANADA - A business development specialist pork with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development says a good demand for pork fueled by high prices for competing has helped keep the price of live hogs strong, writes Bruce Cochrane. The US Department of Agriculture's quarterly Hog and Pigs report, released September 25, showed the total number of hogs in the US was up four per cent to 68.4 million and the number of market hogs was up four per cent to 62.4 million, the highest numbers on record but the breeding herd increased by only one per cent.

　　加拿大——阿尔伯塔省农业和农村发展委员会的业务发展专家说，对猪肉的需求受高价格竞争影响，已经帮助保持生猪价格强劲上涨，布鲁斯·科克伦写道。美国农业部9月25日公布的季度生猪和猪市报告显示，猪的总数上升了4%，至684万年，达到最高的数字记录，但是育种群只增长了1%。
