Current situation of laying hen breeding industry in China

Introduction to the knowledge of eggs in stock

1. The breeding volume is high, the market stock and the price of eggs are unstable.

At present, the number of laying hens in China ranks first in the world, and the number of commercial laying hens is estimated to be about 1.5 billion. Under the condition of normal production performance, the eggs produced by 1.2 billion commercial laying hens can meet the needs of the domestic market. In recent years, affected by disease, the level of egg production is uneven, and the price of eggs is still unstable. The high incidence of chicken disease in winter will lead to a reduction in stock. After the formation of typhoons in summer, it will lead to poor circulation of eggs and obvious fluctuations in egg prices.

According to statistics, the laying hen industry employs more than 10 million people, and the annual output value of the laying hen industry, including hatching, chicks, eggs, egg processing and eliminating chickens, has exceeded 150 billion yuan. Feed, veterinary drugs, vaccines, equipment manufacturing and other related industries have followed up the rapid development, increasing employment channels and employment opportunities for social workers. In 2009, the annual output value of breeder hens, laying hens, egg retail, feed, veterinary drugs and vaccines exceeded 350 billion yuan.

two。 The introduction of breeder chickens occupies a dominant position, and there is still room for improvement in the total output of poultry eggs.

According to the statistical data of the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Agriculture, egg breeder breeding in China started relatively late, and its production performance is relatively backward. Most of the great grandparents and grandparents were introduced from abroad. From the perspective of domestic ancestral chicken breeding, there is a big gap between its production performance and the introduction of foreign breeds.

In 2009, the average annual consumption of eggs in China is about 18 kg, which is much higher than the world average of 9.5 kg and lower than the average level of 23 kg in Europe and the United States. From the gap between China and developed countries, we can see that there is still a lot of room for the development of China's egg industry.

3. The producing area gradually moved southward

Before 2005, the main producing areas of laying hens in China were Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Sichuan, Liaoning, Jiangsu and other provinces. Judging from the consumption characteristics of eggs, egg consumption is mainly fresh eggs, and eggs from the north are transported to the south. Due to the long transportation time and high transportation cost, it is more difficult to keep the products fresh. In addition, local governments encourage people to shake off poverty and become rich. More people choose to invest in projects that can be carried out jointly by small households or several families, and some areas encourage the development of laying hen breeding. Therefore, laying hen production areas have a trend of moving south.

4. The industrial advantage layout of laying hens is basically formed.

China's laying hen industry is taking the road of standardization, scale, industrialization and ecological development. The number of farmers has decreased but the scale has expanded, the commercial chicken farms are gradually moving towards scale, and the number of free-range farmers with a breeding capacity of 1500 to 5000 in rural areas is gradually decreasing. The number of large chicken farms with more than 100000 chickens is gradually increasing.

5. The phenomenon of branding in the egg market is obvious, and the safety supervision is increasing.

The phenomenon of gradual regionalization and branding of the egg market is obvious, and egg companies are booming to carry out regional competition. With the continuous improvement of economic level, consumers need fresh, hygienic and pollution-free eggs, which brings great prospects for the development of brand eggs. The egg company has signed a contract with Zhongda chicken farm to produce reassuring eggs and set up an egg factory, using selective egg washing machines, encoders and packaging machines to produce clean eggs to enter the market, its products are not only safe but also can improve the added value.

In recent years, the quality and safety supervision of egg products in China has been continuously strengthened, relevant laws and regulations, management systems and technical standards have been continuously improved, and the quality and safety monitoring system of egg products has been further improved. The management of veterinary drugs and feed additives has been further strengthened. It has effectively improved the safety level of egg product quality in our country.
