Pig breeding is a relatively strong technical industry, not everyone can make money, that is, the scale of breeding enterprises is also very different, there are money, there are deep losses, last year most of the farm pig production cost per catty of about 8 yuan, some breeding enterprises reported that the production cost of fat pigs per catty is 5.50 yuan, which is to master the pig breeding management technology, disease prevention and control technology and pig management skills are different degrees and economic benefits are different. Raising pigs is risky, as the saying goes: "There are thousands of families, and those with hair do not count," pig raising is to make money a year and lose money for three years. Raising pigs is very profitable, such as in the bonus period of pig raising in 2019, the profit of slaughtering a fat pig is more than 1,500 yuan, and the annual income of raising a sow is more than 20,000 yuan. But if you don't get it right, you lose a lot. In a year, there is a peak season and off-season for pork consumption, if the pig is slaughtered in the off-season of pork consumption, the probability is to lose money, some pig farmers suffer serious losses, what is the reason why they raise pigs at a loss?
First, the lack of feeding management technology: due to the continuous pig feeding management technology, poor feed preparation technology, low feed remuneration for pigs, others 3 pounds of feed can grow a pound, but they need 4 pounds to grow a pound, others fattening an average of 500 grams per day, their own pigs per day weight gain of only 400 grams, resulting in feed waste, increase if the cost, increase the cost of cultivated land assets, a year than others to lose.
Second, the lack of general prevention and control technology, they do not understand the veterinarian, the veterinarian of the farm also lacks practical experience, the breeding of pigs three days two disease, which not only affects the weight gain of pigs, but also wastes the cost of treatment, if the death of a few, the loss is greater. Raising pigs can make money mainly because of the leading disease prevention and control technology, they strengthen the disinfection of pig farms and pig disease prevention injection, the incidence of pig disease is greatly reduced, and the production cost will be reduced.
Third, follow the trend of raising pigs, see others raise pigs to make a fortune, then follow the pigs, but do not know that when the fat pigs are slaughtered, the price of fat pigs has fallen beyond the production cost line.
Fourth, arbitrarily crushed, miss the best slaughter period, such as in October 2022, the price of fat pigs per catty reached nearly 15 yuan, when the profit of a fat pig has exceeded 1500 yuan, many pig farmers do not slaughter in time but listen to the words of those pig price advocates on the Internet, thinking that the price of fat pigs will really reach 18 yuan per catty, a large number of pressure fences for secondary fattening, expecting that the price of fat pigs per catty can exceed 18 yuan, but the expectations are disappointed, From slaughtering a fat pig with a profit of more than 1,500 yuan to a loss of more than 200 yuan. These people don't lose, who loses? Therefore, pig farmers should pay attention to make money, fat pigs weighing more than 250 pounds of big fat pigs can not be pressed, to be slaughtered in a timely manner, now is a market economy, fat pig prices fluctuate very frequently, once the price of fat pigs has been on the cost of production to choose the opportunity to slaughter cash.
5. Do not understand the management of pigs, do not breed in accordance with the laws of the market and cause losses, at the end of 2018, there was a serious African swine fever epidemic in China, and domestic pig production was seriously damaged, according to the data of 400 fixed-point monitoring counties of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in August 2019, the pig inventory decreased by 38.7% year-on-year, and the number of breeding sows decreased by 37.4% year-on-year. The number of pig breeding has been greatly reduced, the serious lack of fat pigs, and the price of artificial price hikes has led to the sales price of pork in a short period of time has increased by 6 times, from about 7 yuan per catty to more than 45 yuan, pig farmers are making a lot of money, when the profit of a fat pig is more than 1,500 yuan, and the annual income of a sow, which is more than 20,000 yuan.
Pig breeding is a particularly high profit industry at that time, basically a profiteering industry, such high profits and high government subsidies, attracted a large number of social capital into the pig industry, for a time, whether it is a real estate enterprise or a network enterprise, as long as there is investment, everyone flocked to the top, soon, more than 180,000 domestic scale breeding enterprises, most of the new influx into the pig industry is a layman in the breeding industry, the law of pig breeding is not clear, do not understand the operation and management of pigs, They are rushing to the high profits of pig breeding and the high subsidies of the government, everyone comes to grab the jobs of pig farmers, most enterprises are still organized in the industrial management mode of pig production, not in accordance with the needs of the market and production, a pig profit is indeed high, desperate to sign a breeding contract, a large number of pigs, in a short period of time exceeded the market demand. As a result, the price of fat pigs in the market has plummeted, from 18 yuan per catty at the beginning of 2021 to more than 5 yuan, and pig farmers have suffered deep losses, resulting in the ups and downs of pig production.
