US - The Canadian swine herd was up 1.9 per cent at midyear. Compared to July 1, 2015 their breeding herd was up 0.7 per cent and their market hog inventory was up 2.0 per cent, write Ron Plain and Scott Brown, Ag Economics, MU.These per cent changes are well in line with the US swine herd on June 1. The Canadian hog herd is only 20 per cent of the size of the US herd. Canada is the source for about three-fourths of our pork imports plus about 6 million live hog imports each year. USDA says there were 600 million pounds of pork in cold storage at the end of July. That is up 2.3 per cent from the month before, but down 5.3 per cent from the same date last year. This is the most pork in cold storage for any month since May and the least for any July since 2014. 农业经济学家罗恩·普莱恩(Ron Plain)和斯科特·布朗(Scott Brown)写道，加拿大猪群在今年年中增长了1.9%，与2015年7月相比，育种猪群提高0.7%，生猪市场库存增长2%。截止6月1日，加拿大猪群的百分比变化与美国统计的猪群发展完全符合。加拿大猪群相当于美国猪群规模的20%。美国每年四分之三的猪肉与六百万活猪进口都是源于加拿大。美国农业部称，截止七月底，加拿大有6亿磅猪肉冷藏库存，比上个月增长2.3%，但相比去年同期数据减少5.3%。七月是自今年五月以来猪肉冷藏库存最多的一个月，但却是自2014年来每个七月的最低值。
