According to Defra’s June Survey, the total number of pigs in the UK increased by 2.7%, from 4.7 million animals in 2015 to almost 4.9 million in 2016. The main reason for this was the 2.9% increase in fattening pigs, largely due to the 2.4% rise in the England figures which account for 80% of the UK fatteners. The female breeding herd showed an increase (1.8%) to 415 thousand animals.
