The expectation of a laying hen farmer

"the price of eggs has dropped a little over the past two days and can be sold at 5.3 yuan to 5.4 yuan per jin." On August 28, Guo Wenguang, head of Longfeng Poultry Industry Co., Ltd., Anyang City, Henan Province, told the reporter happily that the chicken farm produces more than 3000 jin of eggs a day, which is usually ordered by customers two days in advance. Recently, the price of eggs is good, and the company's daily profit is about 10,000 yuan.

Since April this year, the price of eggs in Henan Province has risen significantly, and has continued to rise. The latest monitoring data from the Henan Animal Husbandry Bureau on Aug. 26 showed that the average price of eggs in Henan was 11.28 yuan per kilogram, up 5.52 percent from last week and 13.32 percent from last month. Compared with the same period last year, the price of eggs rose by 34.9%, the biggest increase in nearly three years.

The aquaculture industry is high-risk, micro-profit, especially small-scale farms, anti-risk ability is poor, a year's profit is not much, but want to develop in a big direction faces a lot of difficulties.

"from my more than ten years of experience, on the whole, raising laying hens makes money, and for an ordinary rural family, the income is really considerable. But for companies, more than half of the money earned needs to be repaid with interest on bank loans. If the market is in the doldrums, coupled with bank interest, it is basically not much profit. Now there are many big companies starting to invest in the laying hen breeding industry. Although I have been in this industry for many years, it is difficult to compare with them in terms of financial strength. " Guo Wenguang said.

Guo Wenguang has been thinking about expanding. "but we can't expand the scale only when the market is good. If we have the funds, we should do it at the right time." In his opinion, eggs belong to popular food, and laying hens have to be done all the time. "I have already regarded laying hen farming as my career." Because of this, we can find the right position and grasp the rhythm in the ups and downs of the market.

With his own breeding experience, Guo Wenguang believes that the laying hen market this year and next year will not be too bad. However, with the increasing capital injection into the laying hen breeding industry, when the supply of eggs exceeds the demand on the market, the price will be reduced. He has always been cautiously optimistic about the good market. Guo Wenguang believes that the most important thing in laying hen breeding is scientific management. Standardized henhouses usually pay attention to ventilation to ensure that chickens have a good breeding environment; in summer, cooling equipment should be installed to ensure that the temperature of the henhouse is moderate; now it is disinfected at least three times a week and raised in accordance with epidemic prevention procedures, which not only prevents the occurrence of the epidemic, but also ensures the quality and safety of eggs.

"I have feelings for this industry, too. In the process of drying, we strive to pay attention to the quality, make reassuring products for the society, and provide good raw materials for the food industry. I am responsible for my own eggs as well as to consumers. For my colleagues, generally large-scale breeding plants will strictly control the quality. " Guo Wenguang said.

Yang Jinhuai, chief pastor of Huaxian County, told reporters that the Livestock Bureau of Huaxian County often invited provincial disease prevention experts to explain the methods of disease prevention. Every township had epidemic prevention personnel, and 342 monitoring sites were selected throughout the county to monitor them irregularly.

"the market risk is not easy to predict, but if insurance companies can join the aquaculture industry, it can reduce the concerns of farmers." Guo Wenguang said that in the face of unstable market conditions and low prices, most banks do not give much support to the aquaculture industry, and the bank financing period is relatively short, and the capital problem has always been a major factor hindering the expansion of enterprises. He expects that the policy insurance for farming will be more perfect.
