Wheat production of pig feed will become a new trend

Introduction: "in 2011, most of the corn purchased by the enterprise was used for pig feed production, and the annual consumption was about 1 million tons This year, it is preliminarily planned to purchase about 600000 tons of corn and 400000 tons of wheat " Xie Guang, head of the procurement center of Guangxi Yangxiang Limited by Share Ltd (hereinafter referred to as Yangxiang), said GHC industry insiders said that pigs generally do not eat feed containing wheat, adding wheat to feed materials will significantly change the palatability of the finished feed For many years, corn and soybean meal have been used as raw materials for pig feed The use of GHC wheat ranks first among the raw materials of feed enterprises Obviously, as a production enterprise only producing pig feed, Yangxiang Co., Ltd purchases a large number of wheat this year, which is obviously unusual However, the author found that, like Yangxiang Co., Ltd., many pig feed manufacturers in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hunan also purchase wheat instead of corn on a large scale for feed production In this regard, Xie Guang believes that the price of wheat per ton is about 150 yuan lower than that of corn The price comparison between the two promotes feed enterprises to use wheat on a large scale in 2012, making wheat the "mainstream" of the "source" of pig feed production In recent years, the proportion of wheat purchased by domestic feed enterprises is increasing year by year, but most of the use scope is limited to chicken and duck feed, pig feed The large-scale use of wheat comes from 2011-2012 when the price of corn is high At the beginning of the new year, the shipping price of the third class corn in Guangdong port was about 2350 yuan per ton, but in March, the price quickly climbed to more than 2500 yuan per ton, and maintained until May According to Li Yong, another person in charge of Purchasing Department of GHC Yangxiang Co., Ltd., another "shuffle" in the use of raw materials, the cost of raw materials is the main reason for pig feed production enterprises to use wheat as production raw materials "The arrival price of domestic northeast second-class corn is 2580 yuan / ton to 2590 yuan / ton, while that of Australian imported winter wheat is only 2430 yuan / ton." Li Yong said that the feed processed with wheat is mainly used in pig breeding, while the sow feed currently only uses corn as the processing raw material According to Chen Zhiqiang, the former president of Guangdong Wenshi food group, it will be a long-term process for wheat to replace corn in pig feed production Chen Zhiqiang believes that at present, the competition in feed industry is fierce, as is the case in pig feed market In 2012, Guangdong Wenshi will use 4.5 million tons of wheat and corn, many of which will be used in pig feed production GHC "from the end of last year, enterprises began to increase the number of wheat procurement, this year plans to purchase about 400000 tons of domestic wheat." Li Jinlin, head of the purchasing center of Hunan Jiuding technology group, told the author that the price of corn arriving at the factory in Northeast China is 2500 yuan per ton, and that of wheat arriving at the factory in Henan, Anhui and other places is only about 2300 yuan per ton, which is also the main reason why enterprises use wheat to produce pig feed Li Yong thought that the main reason for the problem of using wheat as pig feed to reduce palatability was that the content of impurities in domestic wheat was high and there was a lot of dust At the same time, using imported Australian wheat as the processing raw material can ensure the quality of pig feed products GHC according to the introduction of relevant feed enterprises, at present, there has been a great breakthrough in the replacement technology of feed wheat, the overall replacement level is about 60%, and the replacement rate of duck feed and some pig feed even reaches 100% According to reports, at present, the amount of wheat replacing corn in feed production of Yangxiang group has reached about 50%, while twin feed company launched the whole wheat type medium pig feed in July last year, which directly lowered the price of pig feed by about 100 yuan per ton GHC obviously, with the price of corn increasing year by year, the price ratio of corn and wheat continues to rise, and the pig feed with corn as the only raw material also begins to use wheat for production, and a new round of "shuffling" is carried out in the use of raw materials of pig feed production enterprises Yao Yibing, GHC
