北爱尔兰猪群预期增多

　　NORTHERN IRELAND, UK - Final figures from the June Agricultural Census in Northern Ireland show that the pig herd grew faster than was previously thought.The updated figures show a 10 per cent year-on-year rise in total pig numbers, three points higher than the provisional results published in September.The increase was largely due to higher numbers of pigs being raised for slaughter. This is attributed to a combination of higher imports of pigs for finishing from the Republic of Ireland and expansion among some large, productive herds.

　　在六月北爱尔兰农业普查的最终数据中显示猪群增长速度要比原先设想的快。更新后的数据显示猪总数年同比增长10%，比在九月发表的假定结果高了3个点。很大程度上的增长是由于养殖了大量提供宰杀的猪。主要归因于许多爱尔兰共和国精加工的猪肉进口和一些大型养殖猪群扩张。
