Abstract China is the largest swine producer in the world. Although the China swine industry has made great progress in the past, it faces many problems according to the requirement of sustainability. This article summarizes the current situation and problems of the swine industry in China and proposes nutrition and feed strategies for the sustainable development of swine production with emphasis on available practical approaches and future research focuses.
