Feeding pigs with cactus products
China Kangtai Cactus Biotech Inc., a vertically integrated grower, developer, manufacturer and marketer of a variety of cactus-based products in China, begins marketing cactus pig feed in the forth quarter in 2009.
The announcement follows the successful launch of cactus cattle feed and fish feed in July 2008.
The new patented pig feed is expected to increase 2009 sales by approximately $330,000.
China Kangtai CEO Jinjiang Wang said, " The cactus pig feed market shows huge growth potential. Pig producers are constantly seeking ways to improve the health and productivity of their livestock. Our cactus products are proven to enhance pork production."
