Professional market promotes the development of animal husbandry

On November 29, the animal husbandry and forage trading market in Baicheng County, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, the largest livestock distribution center in southern Xinjiang, was put into trial operation. According to statistics, on the day of trial operation, the number of transactions reached more than 1000, the trading volume of livestock reached 4000 (only), and the transaction amount exceeded 5 million yuan, ushering in the "good start" of the trading market!

For an experienced herdsman, he may be proficient in how to graze, what kind of grass is better, and how to raise livestock more efficiently. But if there is a lack of a fair, well-managed and well-served livestock and forage trading market, then he may face the dilemma of "having nothing but not being able to get rich". After all, no matter how good the forage is, no matter how many livestock, they must be traded in the market in order to make a profit. For the farmers and herdsmen in Baicheng County, Xinjiang and the surrounding areas, they have been faced with this situation before.

In fact, after years of development, the local animal husbandry has begun to take shape, but due to the relative lag in the construction of the trading market, there are too many intermediate links in the transaction of herdsmen, and the transaction cost is too high, so the price of beef and mutton remains high. in turn, it reduces the market competitiveness of local livestock products, resulting in herdsmen "increasing production but not increasing income". It can be said that the long-term existence of this problem has seriously affected the enthusiasm of local farmers and herdsmen to expand the scale of livestock and poultry breeding, and perplexed the benign and healthy development of local animal husbandry, not to mention the expansion and strengthening of animal husbandry.

With the trial operation of the new animal husbandry and forage trading market, all the disadvantages and problems mentioned above will be alleviated. Herdsmen and merchants around them freely trade livestock and pasture in this large-scale, first-class service, reasonable price and rich breed of livestock, depicting a promising way for livestock to become rich. In fact, for most farmers and herdsmen, it is not unaware of the importance of the animal husbandry trading market, but this cannot be done by relying on the strength of several households, and the completion and operation of the animal husbandry and forage trading market in Baicheng County can be said to be a great help to local farmers and herdsmen.

For the animal husbandry which has long been out of the "small-scale peasant economy" and embarked on the road of marketization, the livestock trading market is the concrete embodiment of the marketization of animal husbandry, from which we can see the degree of marketization of local animal husbandry and whether it is healthy or not. From this point of view, the new and old animal husbandry trading market in Baicheng County has formed a sharp contrast. The old market has poor facilities, backward management, and the transaction price is not open and opaque, which has become an obstacle in the process of local animal husbandry marketization, while the new market has been unanimously welcomed by farmers and herdsmen because of its perfect facilities, good management and open prices. it has become an important force to promote the healthy development of local animal husbandry.
