Huang Demin has built a 3-metre-tall wooden diving platform close to his pigsty in Ningxiang county so his livestock can dive on a daily basis.
Huang has to push his pigs hard to jump from the platform, as most do not seem to enjoy the airborne experience, he said. But he added that he believes diving can help the pigs eat more food and grow faster.

Huang also has an economic motivation - he sells the pork from his diving pigs at three times the price of normal pigs at market.
