Legal basis: Regulations on the Management of Pig Slaughtering
Article 1 These Regulations are formulated for the purpose of strengthening the management of pig slaughtering, ensuring the quality and safety of pig products and safeguarding people's health.
Article 2 The State practices a system of pig slaughtering at designated points and centralized quarantine.
Without a fixed point, no unit or individual may engage in pig slaughtering activities, except for self-slaughter and self-feeding in rural areas.
In remote and inaccessible rural areas, small pig slaughterhouses limited to supplying pig products to the local market can be set up, and specific management measures shall be formulated by provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government.
