Ten viewpoints on the past and Future of Pig farming in China

Changes in the pig industry in the past five years

1) over the past five years, retail investors have gradually decreased, the scale of farming is increasing, the health of pigs is getting worse, and pigs are becoming more and more difficult to raise. The roller coaster price of pigs makes pig farmers rational, and the pressure on environmental protection is increasing.

2) the pig industry has moved from the breeding end to the consumer side, that is, food safety, including taste.

3) the quality of pig raising personnel, especially managers, is improving, and more attention is paid to the improvement of reproductive performance.

4) with the increasing pressure of land and environmental protection, the development space of pig farming is obviously reduced.

2 the problems encountered by the pig industry in the past five years

1) for large-scale pig farms, land is a limiting factor, but for some family farms, land may not be a constraint.

2) apart from the land factor, there are also human problems, which will give rise to new technology and management problems.

3 the development direction of pig raising industry in the future

1) what the future pig farm needs is not a formulator, but a dietitian. It is one direction to feed back the demand of pigs to feed research and development through dietitians.

2) the animal husbandry industry should pay attention to two key words, cost and value-added. To grasp these two factors, the integration of the open industrial chain is one direction.

3) the challenges faced by pig farmers are mainly the pressure of the environment and the fierce competition within pigs. To improve the quality of meat in the future and win the trust of consumers is the main way to solve the pressure of competition.

4) both big pig farms and small pig farms must move in the direction of automation and mechanization.
