It is difficult for pig farmers to raise pigs against the market. Why do they make money?

China has been a big agricultural country since ancient times and has a long history of raising pigs. Because of the eating habits of China people, pork is the main meat of China residents, followed by chicken, beef and mutton. China's pork production accounts for more than half of the world's total pork production. Although China is recognized as a big pig-raising country, there is still a big gap between China and the United States, the European Union and other countries in terms of scale, technology and efficiency. Therefore, the quantity of imported meat has hit record highs. Frequent diseases, antibiotic abuse, aquaculture pollution and other factors restrict the sustainable and healthy development of China's pig industry. With the continuous improvement of culture, economy and people's living standards, China's pig industry will inevitably develop into a centralized, intensive, specialized and large-scale modern pig production system in the future.

First, the status quo of pig industry in China

1. Small retail pig raising: 1-5 pigs are generally raised and extensively produced.

2. Large retail pig farmers: that is, professional pig farmers, the average pig scale ranges from dozens to thousands. The specialization of production mode requires a certain amount of investment, and a special pig farm is built and managed by special personnel.

3. Large-scale pig raising: Generally, thousands to tens of thousands of pigs are slaughtered every year. This mode of production is very professional and requires a lot of investment. A group of professionals should do their duty in production management.

According to the statistical data of pig breeding scale of National Bureau of Statistics, since 200 1, the industrialization level of pig breeding in China has increased year by year, showing an accelerated growth trend. Because the risk is uncontrollable, retail investors can't guarantee their due profits, and they are already slowly withdrawing. This year, under favorable market conditions. Large pig groups and feed enterprises have issued their own pig preparation to increase pig breeding. Its production capacity can reach hundreds of millions of heads.

Second, epidemics are complex and frequent.

The purification and control of epidemic situation is the guarantee of pig production. In recent years, the epidemic situation of animal husbandry in the world is worrying, and the epidemic situation of pig farms around the world is not optimistic. Traditional diseases still threaten the safety of pig farms, and the epidemic situation of pig diseases is still grim: diarrhea and pseudorabies in piglets in cold season; Blue-ear disease is sporadic and generally balanced, and the immune prevention and control of classical swine fever and foot-and-mouth disease cannot be relaxed. At present, China has taken a series of comprehensive preventive measures to prevent and control animal diseases.

Third, food safety.

The occurrence of food safety accidents reveals that there are still serious hidden dangers in production safety in the process of aquaculture in China. The hygiene and safety of pork has been paid more and more attention by consumers, which has increasingly affected consumers' desire and confidence in consumption. This will bring important economic losses to related industries and put the whole industry in trouble. Abuse of antibiotics and veterinary drug residues lead to consumers' distrust of pork quality, which seriously harms people's health and the development of the whole industry.
