China's 26-Story Pig Towers in Ezhou Produce 1.2M Animals Annually

China has operationalized two 26-story vertical pig farms in Ezhou, producing 1.2 million pigs annually. The model claims land savings and cost reductions, but operational risks (disease control, waste management) remain unquantified. This marks a notable scale-up in intensive livestock infrastructure, with implications for agricultural supply chains and biosecurity.
