湖南一農民每天逼豬"跳水"來提高豬肉品質
A farmer in Hunan Province has a unique way of bringing home the bacon.
湖南省一位農民用一種獨特的方法來馴養家中的豬。Huang Demin of Ningxiang county has been taking his pigs for a daily swim for years that he believes makes for better tasting pork.
來自寧鄉縣的黃德民訓練自家的豬每天游泳已經有很多年了，他相信這樣能讓豬肉更美味。The training regimen includes a dive from a 3-meter platform into a pond, followed by a hearty swim.
該訓練的療法包括從3米高的平臺跳入池塘，接下來就是盡情地游泳。
Huang explained the exercise boosts their immune system and helps them work up an appetite and grow more premium-priced meat.
黃德民解釋稱，這種鍛鍊能增強豬的免疫系統，並幫助它們提高食慾從而長出更高價的肉。The farmer claims their pork goes for three times the market price, Sanxiang City Express reported.
據《三湘都市報》報道，該農民聲稱他的豬肉是市場價的三倍。"It's so hard to be a pig nowadays. They may bring home Olympic gold in diving if they're not careful! "commented a Sina Weibo user.
一位新浪微博用戶評論道：“現在做一頭豬太難了。它們可能一不小心就把奧運跳水金牌帶回家！”。"Huang should be praised for his creativity and courage, but it's probably not very scientific or effective. It feels more like a gimmick to raise his prices. "wrote another.
另一位網友寫道：“黃德民的創造力和勇氣應該得到稱讚，但這可能沒有科學依據也不是很有效。這感覺是個用來提高價格的噱頭。”But Huang is not the only farmer raising eyebrows with unusual livestock.
但用奇特的牲畜吸引人注意的，並不只是黃德民一位。Tan Chang of Chongqing keeps his cattle calm and centered with a twice-daily dosage of music. The 43-year-old farmer explained the tunes help the cows to grow larger, the Chongqing Daily reported.
重慶市的譚暢每天放兩次音樂，以此來讓他的牛保持平靜。據《重慶日報》報道，這位43歲的農民稱這些曲子能幫助牛的體格長得更大。
