US Immigration focus on Life in the US: 996 breeding piglets from the United States arrived on a Boeing 747 freighter, landing on the tarmac at Xinqiao Airport to begin their new lives in China. It is reported that this is the first time a B747 freighter has landed at Hefei Airport, and the first time a chartered flight of imported American breeding pigs has landed in Hefei. These piglets from the United States will live in Chizhou, Anhui Province, and will breed in China in the future.
According to reports, the 996 imported American breeding pigs that arrived in Hefei yesterday were represented by Beijing Zelin Xingmu Import and Export Co., Ltd., and transported from Denver, USA, to Anhui by Anhui Tianbang Pig Breeding Co., Ltd. Four breeds of pigs were introduced: Duroc, Landrace, Large White, and Pietrain. Reporters learned that these breeding pigs have significant advantages, including high litter sizes, high lean meat percentages, and low feed-to-meat ratios.
According to Hu Jianjun, General Manager of Xinqiao International Airport, passenger routes for "large aircraft" at Xinqiao Airport are expected to open within the year. Currently, Air China is already negotiating a direct route from Hefei to Frankfurt, Germany. Perhaps the first route from Xinqiao International Airport to Europe will take off by the end of the year.
