What are the prospects for raising pigs in 2017?

In 2017, the No. 1 document of the Central Committee proposed to carry out agricultural supply-side structural reform, in the final analysis, to meet people's new demand for better and safer agricultural products. The adjustment of the structure of the pig industry is directly related to whether the pork on the table of ordinary people can be eaten at ease. This also forces the pig industry to make continuous progress. Let's take a look at the prospects of raising pigs in 2017.

What are the prospects for raising pigs in 2017?

2016 was the most stringent year in the history of the ban policy, with the designation of no-breeding areas and the demolition of pig farms throughout the year. The ban policy had a great impact on the development of the pig industry, and many pig farmers have since withdrawn from the pig industry. The ban on breeding will be even more stringent in 2017, and the final notice has been given that all pig farms designated as prohibited areas will be closed or demolished by the end of the year. In the future, more pig farms will be forced to close, which will continue to affect the stock of pigs, and the number of pigs supplied to the market will be reduced, so pig prices will remain high in 2017.

The reasons for the persistently high price of live pigs

1. The loss cycle of pig raising in the past two years is too long, some pig farms have lost money to the extent that their debts are insolvent, and there is a huge gap in market supply, resulting in a sharp decline in pig production.

2. Because of environmental problems, the government has closed some pig farms, coupled with the directives of government departments' forbidden and restricted areas, the construction of pig farms is no longer as random as in previous years, and the expansion of pig production is restricted.

3. The feed price decreases greatly compared with the previous month, which directly affects the benefit of raising pigs.

How to raise pigs to make money in 2017?

1. Large-scale farming: China is the largest country in pig breeding and consumption in the world. Statistics show that the proportion of live pigs in large-scale farms with more than 500 pigs in 2015 is 44. Through large-scale and intensive production, the food safety of animal products can be solved completely. At the same time, pay attention to the construction of pig breeding standard system, improve the establishment of operating standards and monitoring system, in order to raise good breeds and popularize fine technology.

2. Ecological aquaculture: document No. 1 in 2017 proposes to develop large-scale and efficient aquaculture, optimize the regional layout of pig farming in southern water network areas, and guide the transfer of production capacity to areas with large environmental capacity and major corn producing areas. We will vigorously promote the planting and breeding model of efficient ecological cycle and speed up the centralized treatment of livestock and poultry manure. It can be seen that green ecological breeding is an important direction of the structural adjustment of animal husbandry, and the realization of ecological breeding needs technological innovation and promotion.
