80% relies on imports, and feed "stuck neck" is better than breeding pigs "stuck neck"

 　　Getting rid of import dependence and technical "stuck neck" problems is far from as easy as imagined.

　　China is the world's largest pig raising and consuming country, and more than half of the world's pork enters the stomachs of Chinese people.
However, the cost of Chinese pig companies remains high.
In addition to the impact of swine fever, the main reasons for the increase in cost are poor breeding performance and feed "stuck necks".

　　Breeding pigs and feed are two important "raw materials" for pig farms.
Their importance is to pig farms, just as chips are to mobile phones.
Zhu Zengyong, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, told the Caijing reporter: “The commodity production efficiency of breeding pigs cultivated in China still has a certain gap compared with foreign countries.
The direct manifestation is that the cost competitiveness is not strong.
The cost of foreign pigs is 8 yuan per kilogram.
-12 yuan, our country currently costs 17 yuan or even higher, at least more than 40% higher.
"Not to mention the importance of feed.
The industry generally believes that the "stuffed neck" of feed is more serious than the problem of "stuffed neck" of breeding pigs.

　　The government's attention has been paid to the backwardness of pig breeding in China.
In 2009, the country put forward a pig genetic improvement plan.
In May 2021, the "National Pig Genetic Improvement Plan (2021-2035)" proposed to vigorously support the development of specialized breeding and joint breeding.

　　The problem of “stuck necks” in feed has also received attention.
In 2021, the "No.
1 Document" of the central government encourages to increase scientific research and breeding in the field of crops, so as to fight the "seed industry's turnaround".
In order to broaden the sources of feed and improve the level of feed utilization, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China issued the "Technical Plan for Reduction of Feed for Pigs and Chickens, Corn and Soybean Meal," and proposed a feed alternative.
Emerging products such as strain protein can increase feed absorption rate and reduce feed consumption.

　　Breeding is not easyqKp China Feed Industry Information Network-Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

　　Based on economic indicators such as slaughter time and breeding cycle, the cost of raising domestic pigs is 30% higher than the cost of raising imported pigs.
The introduction of original breeding pigs from abroad seems to be the choice of more people.

　　The original breed pig is like the "chip" of the pig.
Foreign original breed pigs have the characteristics of high farrowing rate, low feed-to-meat ratio, low reproductive cycle, and resistance to illness, which makes it difficult for businessmen who raise pigs to ignore their economic advantages.
Since 1994, pig-raising companies have begun to introduce original pigs from abroad.
At present in China, the original breeds of breeding pigs mainly come from the United States, Canada and European countries.
Among them, the most original species come from the United States.

　　China also has its own pigs.
Including the Chenghua pig from Sichuan, the small-eared pig from Yunnan, and the big white pig from Guangdong, the local breeds have obvious characteristics.
The person in charge of the above-mentioned pig raising company told the Caijing reporter that the industry consensus is that domestic pigs have better quality and better taste, but the production capacity is particularly low and cannot meet the huge domestic market demand.

　　It is not a profitable business to introduce foreign original pigs.
An original sow can be sold for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan on the market, and breed degradation will begin to occur after 3 to 5 years of breeding.
As a result, the pig farm has fallen into a "vicious circle" of foreign introduction, degradation, and re-introduction.

　　Zhu Zengyong told the reporter of Caijing: "Swine breeding is a long-term, arduous and complicated process.
" Breeding pigs requires a long time and a large capital cost.
It takes dozens of generations and decades to breed a qualified breeding pig to ensure that it will not degenerate.
This is a challenge for the operators and investors of small and medium-sized pig farms.
In addition, the lack of breeding talents and the incomplete intellectual property system of biological breeding have brought difficulties to the promotion of pig breeding.

　　Zhu Zengyong told the reporter of Caijing: "The contribution rate of the pig breeding link to the entire pig cost expenditure is more than 40%.
If our country wants to improve the competitiveness of the pig industry in the international market, the most important part is the pig breeding link.

　　Feed alternatives may reduce import dependenceqKp China Feed Industry Information Network-Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

　　At present, China's structural shortage of grain is severe.
The aquaculture industry, especially the pig industry, has accelerated its production expansion, which has led to a substantial increase in the demand for corn and soybeans.
Currently, 80% of China's soybeans depend on imports.
Although China's corn self-sufficiency rate has reached more than 95%, the recovery of China's hog industry since the African swine fever has led to continuous high demand for corn purchases and also pushed up the price of corn.

　　Some heads of pig farms and feed mills told the Caijing reporter that in terms of feed, the cost of domestic pig raising is at least 40% higher than that of foreign countries, and it is greatly affected by the instability of the international market.
The increase in tariffs on US soybean exports to China during the Sino-US trade war and the recent rise in global commodity prices have increased the cost of raising pigs.

　　China's soybean imports are highly concentrated, with more than 90% imported from the United States, Argentina and Brazil.
Once international economic and trade friction occurs, it will affect the stability of China's grain imports.
During the Sino-US trade war in 2018, the two countries imposed tariffs on each other, and China imposed a 25% tax on US soybeans.
Since then, US soybean exports to China have fallen by about 70%.

　　The person in charge of a pig farm stated that the price of food is not linked to the price of pork.
The price of grain is mainly determined by the international market price, and the price of pork is mainly determined by market supply and demand.
The impact of food price increases may not necessarily be transmitted to the consumer terminal.

　　The most direct way for pig raising companies to fight against rising food prices is to reduce production costs, improve production efficiency, and allow pigs to grow faster and consume as little feed as possible.

　　In order to reduce the risk of food reliance on imports, the "Technical Plan for Substitution of Corn and Soybean Meal Reduction in Feed for Pigs and Chickens" proposes that some of the corn in the feed can be replaced with wheat, barley, rice bran, cassava, etc.
; rapeseed meal, cottonseed meal, and peanut meal can be used.
Meal, etc.
to replace soybean meal.
It also proposes specific alternatives to reduce the amount of corn and soybean meal in different regions of China.

　　The introduction of some new products can improve the utilization rate of feed, thereby effectively reducing the risk of feed dependence on imports.
The person in charge of the above-mentioned organic farm told the reporter of Caijing that they are using a kind of bacterial protein added to the feed to increase the corn absorption of pigs by 10%-15% and effectively reduce corn consumption.

　　An investor told a reporter from Caijing that these two raw material "stuck necks" seem not urgent, but it is always bad to be controlled by others.
When there really is a crisis, it will be too late to deal with everything.
