The poultry industry continues to pick up, with farmers making profits and losses.

Xinhua News Agency, November 8 (Reporter Wu Jiangtao, correspondent Kui Yuhai) in order to gain an in-depth understanding of the current recovery of poultry production in Yantai, the Yantai investigation team of the National Bureau of Statistics recently selected five poultry farmers in the city to conduct a survey. The survey found that the prices of most poultry products continue to pick up, with poultry farmers making profits and losses.

Broiler is one of the products seriously affected by avian influenza. Now the price of broiler has gradually rebounded. At present, the price of broiler is 8.6-8.8 yuan per kilogram, slightly higher than the cost price of 8.3-8.4 yuan per kilogram. Broiler farmers gradually turn losses into profits.

Layer farming has been hovering above and below the profit and loss line. The survey shows that the current price of Yantai eggs is 7.4-7.80 yuan per kilogram, which is basically the same as the cost price of 7.4-7.60 yuan per kilogram.

In contrast, chicken seedling farmers still lose a lot of money. During bird flu, the lowest price of chicken seedlings is only 0.6-0.7 yuan per chicken. With the gradual decline of the bird flu epidemic, the price of chicken seedlings has rebounded to 1.9-2.10 yuan per chicken, but compared with the current cost of 2.3-2.5 yuan per chicken, chicken farmers are still unable to make ends meet.
