The Semirechensk pig, also known as the Semirechye pig, is a pig breed native to the areas surrounding the Semirechensky district of Kazakhstan, around the Semirechye region. The breed is named after the region, as Semirechye is derived from the Russian word for ‘seven rivers’, due to the seven rivers originating around the area. The Semirechensk pig is a medium-sized breed, with males weighing an average of 450-500 kg and females weighing an average of 300-350 kg.

The breed is generally white-haired, with solid black eyes and ears. The snout is generally wide, and the neck and back are quite strong. The Semirechensk pig has been bred to have a maternal instinct, meaning that it is very protective of its young and will rarely leave them alone. This is in contrast to other breeds of pig, which can often be quite aggressive and unpredictable.

The Semirechensk pig is also very hardy, making it a great choice for outdoor living. Its thick coat helps to keep it warm in cold climates, and as its body is naturally more adapted to warm climates, it can handle hotter temperatures very well. The breed also adapts easily to different climates, making it well suited to a range of environments.

The Semirechensk pig is a very productive breed, producing a good amount of pork and bacon. The meat is very lean and has a good flavor, making it a popular choice for consumers. The breed is also very productive when it comes to reproducing, producing around 10 piglets per litter.

Its hardiness and maternal instinct make it an ideal choice for outdoor living, while its adaptability to different climates means it can do well in a variety of environments.
