Explore the road to breakthrough in the layer industry

Shandong Animal Husbandry Association recently held the "New Four Dimensions Cup • The Second China Laying Hen Industry Five Mountains Forum and Shandong Laying Hen Healthy Breeding Development Conference", and enterprises and experts and scholars related to the layer hen industry chain from all over the province gathered in Jinan to discuss the high-quality development path
of the layer hen industry around the current problems related to the layer hen industry chain.

At the meeting, Li Xin, deputy director of the Shandong Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau, said that from the perspective of the industry, the layer hen industry is encountering the dual constraints of rising costs and market bottlenecks, facing the dual confusion of disorderly expansion of production capacity and insufficient supply of high-quality, the impact of adverse aspects of natural factors and social factors is increasingly prominent, extreme weather and abnormal environment frequently appear, which has increased certain pressure on the breeding industry, the market competition order is not perfect, and the phenomenon of "bad money driving out good money" is still serious, squeezing the market space
of high-quality products 。 Shandong will improve the layer hen industry system, improve the quality of egg products, optimize production and supply, and develop new models and new formats such as integrated production and marketing, online and offline e-commerce operations, and egg futures trading to meet differentiated and diversified needs
.

The laying hen industry in Shandong Province has developed rapidly, making continuous breakthroughs in varieties, technologies, models, marketing, quality control, etc.
, and initially has the foundation and conditions for high-quality development.

Lu Yan, secretary general of Shandong Animal Husbandry Association, believes that Shandong is a major province in layer hen breeding and production, and is currently in a critical period of accelerating structural adjustment, quality upgrading and kinetic energy conversion, and industrial development is shifting from incremental orientation to quality improvement, and development has entered a new stage
.

Shandong is a major province for egg production and consumption, and its breeding scale, efficiency level, industrial structure and supply quality are in the forefront
of the country.
In 2021, the province had 232 million laying hens and egg production of 3.
92 million tons
.
In recent years, the pass rate of egg market sampling inspection has reached 98%, of which all the eggs of the members of the High-quality Egg Alliance have passed
the sampling inspection.

Qu Tiangui, president of the Laying Hen Branch of the Shandong Animal Husbandry Association, said that while rejoicing at the achievements, we must also have a clear understanding of our own problems and shortcomings, such as the unbalanced development of the layer hen industry, and the coexistence of modern breeding and extensive and inefficient breeding; The structural problems of supply and demand are prominent, and the supply of high-quality eggs is insufficient; poor resilience against risk shocks; Egg processing is a common weakness of the industry, which directly causes the single egg consumption structure and consumption channels, and is also an important driver of the ups and downs of the egg industry
.
Qu Tiangui bluntly said that the development of the layer hen industry in Shandong Province is still very insufficient, and there is still a certain gap
from high-quality development.

In view of the problems faced by the layer hen industry, industry experts focused on the theme of the forum of "Gathering Strength and Resilient Growth" to discuss breaking the bottleneck of industry development and promoting the high-quality development of
the layer hen industry.
