China's traditional pig industry needs to be adjusted

Introduction: how to deal with the challenge of China's entry into WTO? At the International Conference on pig industry and WTO hosted by Hechuan City, Chongqing, Chinese and foreign experts believed that the best way to meet this challenge is to increase the scientific and technological content in the traditional pig industry and take the road of industrialization China is the center of pig industry in the world in terms of pig production However, in recent years, the pig industry in most areas of the country has fallen into a low ebb, with "three drops and one more drop" in pig prices, pig marketing and farmers killing and breeding more pigs Experts analyzed the reasons and thought that the basic reasons for the crisis of traditional pig industry are two: first, the quality of traditional pigs is too poor, and there is no market competitiveness At present, the European Union market requires the lean meat rate of pigs to be 60% while that of traditional pigs in China is only 50%; second, the productivity level is not high, the feed transfer rate is low, and the economic benefits are high Relevant experts pointed out that the current situation of production and import and export of livestock products in China is not optimistic China's meat output accounts for 23.3% of the world's total output, but compared with this huge output, the export volume is very small Experts from Asia Technology Department of PCI group, one of the largest pig breeding groups in the world, believe that "WTO accession" will bring new opportunities to China's pig industry, but the impact of "WTO accession" on China's pig industry will be even greater: the pork tariff will be reduced from the current 20% to 12%, the import of pig meat and raw materials will increase, and the competition in pig industry will be intensified In addition, compared with foreign countries, China's pig industry has a low-cost comparative advantage, but this advantage is not obvious Moreover, most of the advantages are scattered pig farmers and specialized households, and this scale-free breeding is difficult to meet the export requirements The person in charge of China's animal husbandry and veterinary station pointed out that the next four to five years should be the key years for China to adjust its pig industry and meet its accession to the WTO The key to adjust the traditional pig industry is to develop the corresponding science and technology, improve the quality of pig meat, improve the efficiency of pig production, and move towards the industrialized management It is understood that the output value of animal husbandry in China accounts for 30% of the total output value of agriculture and animal husbandry, but the investment in science and technology is only 7.2% Experts said that the development of pig industry must increase investment in science and technology, rely on science and technology for variety improvement, improve the number of piglets and survival rate of sows, improve the meat production rate and lean meat rate of pigs, shorten the feeding period, and enhance their disease resistance In addition, in order to improve production efficiency and keep a firm foothold in the international market, it is necessary to take the road of industrialized operation and build a one-stop enterprise integrating breeding, slaughtering, processing, feed production and research.
