A comparative analysis of the live pig inspection and quarantine systems in the EU and China is carried out in this paper with respect to the legal and regulatory systems, the supervisory responsibilities, the requirements for the qualifications and number of inspection and quarantine personnel, the charging systems, the scope and contents of inspection and quarantine. On the basis of our national conditions, some suggestions are put forward to improve the live pig inspection and quarantine system in China in four aspects.
