The price of pigs fell sharply, and the phenomenon of killing sows appeared

Introduction: Li Chungeng, a pig farmer in shuigeqian village, Tashi Town, Longyou County, raised 100 sows, and disposed of 30 at one time "There is no way to kill sows," said Li Chungeng Now the price of piglets is low, and it will lose money to keep so many sows According to reports, since September, many farms and large pig farmers in Longyou County have started to kill sows The main reason for this situation is that the pig price in the west of Zhejiang Province dropped sharply, ending the history of high pig price in the past three years The price of pigs dropped from 500 yuan per 100jin to 330 yuan at present, a 34% drop; the price of piglets dropped from 900 yuan per 100jin to 400 yuan at present, a 55% drop In addition, feed prices have been rising all the way Under the "pinch" of one drop and one rise, pig farming has become a small profit or even a loss The reporter learned from some large pig farmers in our city that the main reason for the decline in pig prices is that in recent years, people are still afraid of "avian influenza" and "Streptococcus globosus", eating less or no pork, which leads to the reduction of national demand for meat In recent years, the profit of pig raising is relatively large, and each pig can earn 300-400 yuan, which greatly stimulates the confidence of farmers, thus increasing the number of pigs raised Last year, Longyou County alone added more than 10000 sows "Breeders should seize the opportunity of low price of piglets and eliminate the poor sows over three years." Some insiders believe that at present, we must not kill sows blindly, so as not to cause the ups and downs of the pig market The price of pig has fallen to a low level, and it has slowly risen from 330 yuan per 100jin to 350 yuan With the decrease of meat price, the sales volume of pork will increase, and it will also promote the rise of pig price However, it is not realistic to return to the high profit price in recent years.
