Dow Jones Description
We are a Nevada corporation engaged in the animal nutrition (premix, concentrates and complete feeds) and commercial hog producing business in China through our operating subsidiaries. Our animal nutrition business consists of the research and development, manufacture, marketing and sale of premix feed and blended feed for use in the domestic animal husbandry markets, primarily for hog production in China. Premix is an animal feed additive that is broadly used in commercial animal production worldwide. The use of premix feed can significantly reduce an animal's growth cycle, enabling the animal to reach market size sooner. We have been in the premix feed business since 1995 and now operate five premix feed manufacturing facilities located in the cities of Nanchang, Shandong, Shanghai, Nanning, and Hainan. We entered the hog breeding and production business in November 2007. In this business, we mainly produce hogs for slaughter and sell breeding stock. We have one breeder farm and 29 meat hog producing farms in the Jiangxi, Shanghai, Hainan, Guangxi and Fujian provinces.
