[ Agricultural Products Network] Pork price is the wind vane of CPI, and feed price is the main factor determining pork cost. With the white-hot trade war between China and the United States, the soybean import into the Chinese market has been hampered, and the supply of soybean meal, a by-product of soybean processing, is bound to be affected.

Problem: Z pig meat prices will eventually affect you?

Let's look at the cost of raising pigs constitutes the relationship between soybeans.

1. Small pig farms face escalation or closure.

The main reasons are: environmental protection is not up to standard, high scale costs, high labor costs and other factors. With the increase of the ban on raising area, the difficulty of health of pigs is growing, its threshold has been raised many, many large farming companies have invested large sums of money breeding, rearing two homes to start breeding sows, although pig farming more and more difficult, but people are still attracted by its easy on the horse.

Second, the relationship between pig cost and soybean

The use of legume feed in the feed of pigs tells us that bean cakes contain high crude protein and are one of the best pig feeds .

Feeds added directly to beans. Such as soybeans, broad beans , adzuki beans and so on. Rich in crude protein content, about 20--40%, starch, sugar content is lower than the Valley real class, vitamins, mineral content Grass-Valley real close. The protein quality of beans is good, and the content of lysine is as high as 1.8-3.06%. However, the amount of sulfur-containing amino acids such as methionine is less, which is difficult to meet the needs of finishing pigs. Beans contain ingredients such as trypsin, substances that cause goiter, saponins, hemagglutinin, etc., affecting palatability, digestiveness, and some physiological processes in pigs. Therefore, before feeding the beans, they must be heated at 110 ° C for at least 3 minutes.

Meal type, also known as cake class, is a byproduct of oil crops seed extract oil, including soybean, rapeseed cake, sesame cake and linseed cake. There are two production methods for cakes, the product of solvent extraction is commonly known as bismuth, and the product of pressing method is called cake. The former does not undergo high temperature and high pressure, except for the reduction of fats and oils, other nutrients do not change much; the latter often leads to degeneration, especially lysine and other damaged Z weight. However, high temperature and high pressure can also destroy toxic substances in cottonseed and flaxseed. The bean cake contains 40% or more of crude protein with high quality and high lysine content. Apart from the low content of methionine, the various amino acids are extremely balanced, and it is a good protein feed in oil cakes. Rapeseed cakes contain toxic substances, which often poison pigs. Do not feed more, accounting for 8% of the feed. Cottonseed cake has a high protein content and good quality, but the palatability is poor. If it is cooked and detoxified, the feed should not exceed 10% of the feed. If it is not detoxified, it should not exceed 3%.

Now there are changes in soybean import channels, and prices have changed, which will inevitably affect the price of bean cake. Pig farmers need to pay close attention.

Third, the situation of oversupply in the country is still continuing.

On the one hand, pig-raising enterprises face the threat of pig raising costs, and on the other hand, they face market saturation. Although the price of pork has increased in June, it cannot change the sales problem caused by the overall number of listings. In this respect, the risk of raising pigs is high.

Mr. Niu , an agricultural product network, said that large-scale pig farms are highly planned, highly automated, and epidemic prevention is in place, and the cost of raising pigs is relatively stable. In addition, the market channel is stable and the ability to resist risks is strong.

Possible conclusion: The increase in US soybean import costs has made it inevitable that the cost of raising pigs will increase. In addition, the price of pork will not rise in the short term, and the cost of small pig enterprises is high, facing losses, and gradually reducing the number of stocks.
