Henan, the largest province for pig stocks, was hit by heavy rains, the next...

Recently, many parts of Henan Province have suffered severe floods, and the rainfall in Zhengzhou City has exceeded the historical extreme

Part of the cooperative pig farm was flooded with piglets

“All the pig farms are flooded and there is no place to move them.

He Yu said that there are now more than a dozen small farmers in the cooperative, and there are more than a dozen sows in each house.

Unlike the situation in Xinxiang County, Xinxiang City, in Xinmi City, a county-level city under the escrow of Zhengzhou City, a staff member of the Shunwang Cooperative told the Beijing News reporter that his pig farm benefited from more ditches and good drainage.

Regarding large-scale pig farms, since July 21, large domestic pig breeding companies have successively disclosed the status of their Henan pig farms

Feng Yonghui, chief analyst of the China Pig Warning Network, told the Beijing News that for environmental protection and other reasons, most pig farms will be far away from villages, main roads, rivers and other water sources when they are built, and they are not within the flooded area

China Galaxy Securities analyst Xie Zhiyou pointed out in the research report that the flooding caused by heavy rainfall may increase the difficulty of pig breeding and delay the construction of pig farms

The impact of heavy rains on pig prices is relatively mild

According to the official website of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Henan Province, as a major pig breeding province and a major foreign transfer province, Henan's annual pig breeding volume accounts for about 1/10 of the country, and it is an important pig production, processing and supply base in the country

As the largest province in the domestic hog stock, will Henan's heavy rains affect the national pig price? In this regard, Zhu Zengyong, a researcher at the Beijing Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, told the Beijing News that although the number of live pigs in Henan is at the highest level in the country, when the country's pork supply is relatively abundant, the relevant changes will not affect the national pig price.

"I have been driving around Zhengzhou and Xinxiang in the past few days and observed that the heavy rain in Henan has not had a particularly large impact on the pig breeding industry, and transactions such as the sale of pigs by farmers in Henan have gradually returned to normal

One month after the disaster, we must strictly prevent the pandemic

In the current disaster, what should be paid attention to by the pig farmers in Henan? The China Animal Husbandry Association recently mentioned in a letter of condolences to the practitioners in the livestock industry in Henan Province that in the face of a catastrophe, we must do everything possible to stabilize production, especially in the difficult period of declining pig prices and declining returns.

Regarding the spread of animal diseases after the flood, Feng Yonghui said that the flood caused the water level to rise.

"The incubation period of viruses such as African swine fever is one month, so the observation in the next month is very critical

Regarding how farmers should do well in the follow-up of epidemic prevention work, Qiu Huaji, director of the Pig Infectious Disease Research Office of the Harbin Veterinary Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and chief scientist of the swine violent infectious disease innovation team, once stated to the outside that it is necessary to clean up the water and silt as soon as possible, and treat the animals as soon as possible.

At the same time, farmers should strengthen the ventilation of the pig house, remove moisture, and prevent mold, collect and dispose of manure in time; to prevent subsequent heavy rains, dig trenches to drain water; pay attention to the safety of drinking water and feed safety for pigs, remove blister leftovers, and pad between feed storage high, ventilation, ultraviolet disinfection, to prevent damp mildew; for overalls, boots, tools, vehicles, corridor, waterline, shower room, a pig station to conduct a comprehensive clean-up and disinfection

In addition to the above recommendations, the China Animal Disease Prevention and Control Center has issued the "Technical Guidelines for Animal Epidemic Prevention in Flood Seasons" on July 13th.
