More than 6,000 pigs came in the building

Hubei Jinlin has been raising pigs for 17 years and is an experienced senior pig farmer
.

But since starting his business 2 years ago, the post-80s, bold new general manager feels that "every day at work is quite nervous.
"
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

This is especially true
in the sweltering heat of August.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

At the end of August, the two 26-storey buildings that Jinlin participated in and were responsible for will be housed in the first batch of 6,500 breeding pigs and start the trial operation
of the "building pig raising" project.
He told Yan Finance and Economics that if it is fully loaded, it is expected to produce 100,000 tons of pork per year, enough for 2.
5 million people to eat for 1 year
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Raising pigs in buildings sounds a bit incredible
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Yes
.
Breaking the traditional "building pig" model, the single 26-storey "world's best", coupled with disease risks, environmental protection issues, design schemes, around these keywords, Jin Lin heard a lot of questions, public opinion attention to him, he felt that the burden on his body was heavier than ever
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

The same questioning, Gao Yuanfei has also heard a lot
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

As early as 2017, as the vice president of Guangxi Yangxiang Co.
, Ltd.
(hereinafter referred to as "Yangxiang"), Gao Yuanfei's company took the lead in putting into production "building pig raising", and built 4 "pig buildings" with the highest 9 floors on Yaji Mountain in Guigang City, Guangxi Province, and began to raise pigs, which has continued to this day
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

In fact, before it was questioned externally, it was an idea that even they had internal disagreements
.
Until they blocked the "African swine fever", Gao Yuanfei told Yan Finance that the voice of questioning Yang Xiang was smaller
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Then, the number of people trying to try the "building pig farm" began to increase
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

According to statistics, in the past 5 years, at least 14 provinces in the country have appeared in high-rise buildings specializing in pig raising, generally reaching more than 6 floors, and "high-rise pigs" have also been marked
as "unique to China".
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

In fact, there have been attempts at home and abroad to "raise pigs in buildings" as early as the last century, but most of them are limited to low two or three floors, and most of them have been abandoned
later.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

This arouses our curiosity: what does a "building pig" look like, and how is it different from a traditional pig farm? When humans are still worried about the house, why use the building to raise pigs? How does its emergence affect our lives, and will it become a trend? J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

"Second Master Brother" take the elevator J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serve animal husbandry

Guangxi girl Lu Changtong is a post-95, college major in animal husbandry and
veterinary medicine.
In 2018, when she first learned that she was going to raise pigs in Yangxiang's building, she only felt incredible
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Lu Changtong still remembers that on the first day of the "building pig farm", her nose first smelled the difference
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Unlike the pig farm I have been to before, the smell is very heavy, and the clothes hanging outside the dormitory are stained with a foul smell, Lu Changtong told the salt financial reporter that she entered the production area of the pigs here, and thousands of pigs were raised together
without smoking.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Basically unable to smell the taste, it was not the most surprising thing for Lu Changtong
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

She did not expect that "pigs can also take the elevator.
"
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

On the first day of entering the market, Lu Changtong caught up with the pig selling day
.
The whole process can be seen as a relay race
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

One drove the pigs to be sold into the aisle in batches from the pen, and the other two relayed the pigs to the elevator entrance
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

There was another person standing at the entrance of the elevator, and he wanted to let the pig enter the elevator
without landing on the ground.
If it is a piglet, it can enter seventy or eighty heads
at a time.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

After that, the person presses the stair key
.
But people don't go into the elevator, and the pigs go downstairs by themselves
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

At the exit of the elevator on the 1st floor, another person waited to pick up the pigs and load them into the car and send them away
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

However, the pig's eyes are not very good, and the pig drivers have to rely on sound to drive them away
.
They held a sand hammer in one hand and a pig shield in the other, and the knocking made a sound, and the mouth called out, so that the pig would go forward and not look back
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Such a picture later became Lu Changtong's daily
work routine that he had to check and control every Wednesday.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

He Shike, 34, is the director
of yangxiang's four-building pig farm.
When he first heard that the company was going to build a building to raise pigs, he was a little disbelieving
like many people.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Later, he found that the environment here was very different
from the traditional flat-level open-air pig farm where he had been for 5 years.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

On the first day of entering the market, from the periphery, the 4 buildings in front of He Shike 's eyes "can't be seen as a pig farm, more like a hotel.
"
The building is equipped with a lot of machinery and equipment, which looks "tall"
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

In He Shike's impression, there were nearly 10,000 pigs
in the building at that time.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

If placed in the summer, in order to cool the pigs, pig farmers used to rely on artificial water
.
This makes the fan roar all day long to dissipate heat, because the breeding density is large, pigs and dogs, will stick out their tongues to dissipate heat and breathe, open their mouths to suck in more air, it is very stubborn
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

But the pigs raised in the closed building have central air conditioning to cool down in the summer, and the sucking is calmer
.
When awake, the piglet is more energetic; When asleep, they slept particularly deeply, often leading to the mistake of new colleagues for thinking that the pigs were
"dead".
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

When they are free from work, they simply find cute and handsome pigs as pets and massage
them like cats.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

"In fact, it also enjoys itself, and it will be like a kitten and a puppy supporting the lazy waist," He Shike told
Yan Finance.

Anti-swine fever, provincial land, to environmental protection J56 China feed industry information network - based on feed, service animal husbandry

"It should be said that the building pig farm has now become a fashion
in the pig industry.
Most of the top 30 pig companies in China have building pig farms
.
Gao Yuanfei, vice president of Yangxiang Co.
, Ltd.
, told Yan Finance
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

African swine fever, which began in 2018, has caused huge losses to pig farmers
across the country.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Affected by swine fever and the epidemic, pork production and demand have dropped sharply J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry

After that, some of the "building pig farms" that have successfully prevented Africa have become a new style
of pig farms that the industry's leading enterprises have begun to concentrate on building.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

At the same time, pig farmers have more discussions and evaluations
on the benefits of "building pigs".
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

From the distribution point of view, the project of "raising pigs in buildings" is relatively concentrated, mainly distributed in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other places where
land resources are scarce.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

As of 2020, Guangdong's "building pig raising" project J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry

"In places where land resources are scarce, it is also necessary to achieve stable production and supply, and only buildings can achieve it
.
" Sun Haitao, deputy general manager of Kono Animal Husbandry Equipment Co.
, Ltd.
, who has taken over a number of "building pig raising" projects, once explained in an interview with the media that "the biggest advantage of building pig raising is to raise more pigs on less land.
"
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

The Chinese Society of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine once analyzed: a pig farm with a herd of 600 sows and an annual output of 10,000 heads is built with a traditional flat-layer method, occupying 70 acres of land, designed with an industrial breeding model, and 30 acres; The building pig breeding, according to the two 4-storey pig houses, according to the construction area of 6000 square meters, each floor of 1500 square meters, as long as 10 acres
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

The benefits of saving land are obvious, but Gao Yuanfei does not want the outside world to understand the benefits of "raising pigs in buildings" only to see the simple level of
"saving land" and "raising more".
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

After the pig herd is concentrated on a larger scale in the building, the resources such as power grid, road network, and water network supporting the building facilities are also concentrated, which helps to reduce construction and loss; A larger amount of feces is conducive to timely, low-cost and efficient industrial harmless treatment and recycling, reducing environmental pressure
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Gao Yuanfei told Yan Finance that due to the lack of design standards, "building pig farms" are divided into two categories
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

One is that the traditional flat-level pig farm is superimposed to build a building, and the overall optimization design of the structure of the pig house is not done
.
This often increases the risk of cross-contamination, loopholes in the vital safety of epidemic prevention, and lack of innovation
in pig breeding models.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

In contrast, the overall design of the pig house is scientifically optimized, the environmental and infectious disease risks are more controllable, and the "intelligent building pig farm"
has been automated.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Gao Yuanfei believes that only the latter can safely and reliably raise pigs in the building, give play to the due value of the "building pig raising" model, and achieve safety, intensification, scale, efficiency and modernity
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

On the other hand, the "building pig farm" has also triggered other worries and concerns: for example, the lack of specific standards for the design of building pigs, high cost costs, increased pressure on epidemic prevention, and difficult technical management
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

But Gao Yuanfei used the analogy of "airplanes look dangerous, but it does not prevent it from becoming the safest means of transportation" to Yan Finance and Economics: "Buildings raise pigs more≠ risky.
"
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

He believes that scientific design, work details in place, the risk of "building pigs" is controllable
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

"After all, building pig breeding is a new thing, the overall experience is insufficient, there may be some uncontrollable risks, so some people think there is no need to do building pig
raising.
" They think that as much land as there is, they will raise as many pigs as possible, and unfamiliar areas will not be touched
.
This concern is not superfluous, and if the risk of raising pigs in buildings is not well controlled, its loss will be greater than that of flat-level pigs
.
Sun Haitao said
to Yan Finance.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Make money J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serve animal husbandry

Is it more expensive to build a building pig farm? J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Sun Haitao pointed out that relatively speaking, the cost of a single square of pigs in buildings is about
30% higher than that of flat-level pigs.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Gao Yuanfei feels that based on the different concepts of enterprises, the "cost-benefit" of "building pigs" is difficult to directly compare
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

"When we were doing a building pig farm, we arranged the air ducts to the head of each pig (in the limit bar), facing the pig's nose, and the ventilation was only about a
quarter of the ordinary flat-floor pig farm.
" Gao Yuanfei said that with the addition of central air conditioning, the amount of ventilation is reduced, and it is much
easier to filter and deodorize.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Gao Yuanfei believes that the benefits of a well-designed ventilation system and spending money to improve the breeding environment are obvious
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

"We let the pigs have good living conditions, the pigs will have less disease, less injections, less medicine, less stress, healthier growth, and a smoother
production process.
" Gao Yuanfei said that the process also saves costs, and the stress is reduced, the pigs are not easy to lose weight, and the profits go
up again.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

But the biggest benefit is that "building pigs" have successful experience in preventing African swine fever
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

On August 3, 2018, Liaoning reported the first case of African swine fever in China, after which the epidemic spread and farmers suffered heavy
losses.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

In March 2019, a case of African swine fever was reported in Gangnan District, Guigang City, Guangxi Province, when Yang Xiang was carried by
the "Loufang Pig Farm" on the local Yaji Mountain.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

"There is no problem with our building pig farm, there is evidence
.
" Gao Yuanfei explained to Yan Finance and Economics, "We are the largest socialized sperm supply enterprise in China, we have 3 building workstations to take boar semen, facing the pig farm in the society to supply sperm, our own sows also use these pig essences, as long as a pig has a problem, the epidemic is easy to spread, but we have been a stable supply, indicating that our production system is no problem.
"
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Gao Yuanfei still remembers that in November 2019, several media came to report that the city was once very worried, and asked if there would be too few
pigs in the building.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Gao Yuanfei replied: "It is full of columns
.
" J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

The two years of the Outbreak of African Swine Fever were two years of lucrative profits
for large pig farmers.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Liu Xiangdong, president of the pig business department of Yangxiang Shares, revealed to Yan Finance and Economics that taking Yangxiang as an example, at present, there is not much difference between building pork and pork in traditional pig farms, and the price is mainly related
to the variety.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

But they said it was also related
to the company's original low-cost pig raising advantages.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Although the price did not show a difference, Gao Yuanfei revealed that even in the period of stable African swine fever, these 4 buildings earned considerable profits for Yangxiang, and they were reluctant to disclose the specific figures for 2021, but Liu Xiangdong revealed that the profit was higher than that of the traditional flat, and they were also adding new investments
.

2019 and 2020 Pork Price Comparison J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Sun Haitao revealed that in 2021, he had learned about the willingness of breeding owners to build "building pig farms", accounting for 5%-10%.

J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

"There are some factors that will restrict the development of it (building pigs), these factors are not unreasonable, or completely become obstacles to the development of building farms, that is, they make building farms not necessarily the best form of
pig farms.
" I think that building pig farming will be one of the forms of pig farms in the future and cannot become mainstream
.
Sun Haitao said
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

College students enter the pig farm J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serve animal husbandry

But the "building pig farm" does bring new feelings to young pig farmers
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

In the front line of pig raising, Liu Xiangdong saw that "farmers raising pigs" had become "workers raising pigs", and their education and quality were higher
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Put in 20 years ago, "college students, college students who are willing to come out to raise pigs, after primary school graduation can become the group leader.
"
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

In 2005, Liu Xiangdong graduated with a bachelor's degree, and college students did not dare to enter the industry
at the same time.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

A big reason is that the pig farm at that time was equivalent to a small family business, the employees and the boss were related to each other, the pig factory was small, the pig breeding was still a pure physical work, college students went in, suffered, and what they learned could not be
applied.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

But now that the scale is up, the pig raising equipment is more modern and more exquisite, and college students have a place
to play.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Liu Xiangdong also noticed a significant change, and capital outside the circle is also pouring into this traditional farming industry
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Internet companies and real estate companies are also participating in and testing the waters, especially during the African swine fever period, the ultra-high profit of raising pigs has made the outside world look red
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Over the past 10 years, the pig industry has been more lively
than ever.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

The emergence of innovation and the energy of science and technology do require some imagination
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Although the "modern high-rise pig breeding" has just started, Gao Yuanfei has imagined its future scene - urban pig
raising.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

In the future, each city is equipped with its own building pig farm, it continues to develop vertically upwards, the building is not only pig raising, but also supporting feed processing, slaughtering, segmentation, deep processing workshop, raw materials are transported in, out is white meat, ham sausage, prefabricated vegetables and other semi-finished products
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Perhaps one day, cities will no longer need to transfer large-scale transportation and supply every day, and townships and counties will be contracted by small and medium-sized farmers, and they will also have their own living space
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

This form has an imposing name: the meat factory
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Such a "meat factory", Jin Lin also imagined, he managed two 26-storey high-rise pig farms, less than 20 kilometers
from the city.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Jin Lin feels that modern agriculture is a sunrise industry, and pig breeding is one of them
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Before explaining what he understood as "sunrise industry", the first thing he told Yan Caijing was that after graduating from college, he began to raise pigs, "seventeen or eighteen years, has been doing this", putting aside financial interests, he was first "willing to do this thing"
.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

In his view, "building pig" is a new model with more content than old experience, his new career has just begun, and he wants to break through and try
with the team.
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

He did not dare to say big words, make promises lightly, fear that in the future others would "think that our integrity is not enough", worried about the doubts of the outside world, he left room for himself, "If you can't achieve this effect, then correct and then change.
"
J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

But the first thing he said was, "I just want to succeed
.
" "J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Jin Lin reminds me of a sentence mentioned by Liu Xiangdong: "The person who raises
pigs himself, he is very simple.
" "J56 China Feed Industry Information Network - Based on feed, serving animal husbandry
