Are There More Pigs than Humans in Denmark?

Denmark has more than twice as many pigs as humans.

There are more pigs than humans in Denmark – the country’s human
population is an estimated 5.4 million, compared to its pig population of
around 24 million. Due to its high amount of pig livestock, Denmark is the
leading exporter of pork in the world. From the 1980s through the 2000s,
the number of pigs in the country doubled, while the number of pig farms

The amount of slurry produced at Denmark’s pig farms is estimated to be
able to fill the equivalent of 90,000 swimming pools every year.
