Report Introduction: Between May 17 and June 17, 1980, a team of U.S. scientists under the leadership of George Lambert, a veterinary medical officer of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, visited the People's Republic of China, with the purpose of learning the state of swine production in the People's Republic of China. The U.S. Team visited several key sites in the People's Republic of China where animal husbandry and veterinary medicine are significant. These included Beijing, Harbin, Urumqi, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. This report is the composite report of the team, recounting what the team was briefed by the Chinese officials and scientists, and what the team observed. While the report is not comprehensive, it does produce basic information on the state of swine production and other aspects of animal science and health in the People's Republic of China, and indicates the direction for future cooperation in animal research between the United States and the People's Republic of China.
