Denmark's pig numbers reached the 2007 level
Bethan Wilkins, AHDB analyst, says piglet numbers were 3.5% higher, at 2.6 million head, and slaughter pig numbers were almost 5% higher at 3.0 million head.
Wilkins explained that the increase in the pig herd has been reflected in the slaughter numbers, which increased by 4% by the end of July.
"This reflects previous expansion in the Danish breeding herd, encouraged by strong weaner and finished pig prices back in 2017."
