The breeding industry encountered a "cold wave", this summer is a bit "cold"!

Eggs fall

In May of this year, the price of eggs rose all the way, and the average price also came to 4.25 yuan per catty, up nearly 60% year-on-year. As soon as this market came out, farmers saw new hope that eggs could earn 0.3 yuan per catty, but the good times did not last long. In June, the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival did not stimulate the price rise. Prices have fallen again and again, and egg farmers are helpless.

The reason why the price of eggs has been falling is mainly due to the impact of the current temperature on sales. In the early stage, driven by e-commerce, the price of eggs has been rising, but due to the drop in temperature, the quality of eggs has been damaged, and everyone's enthusiasm for egg purchase has gradually declined, even in the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival. Can make the price rebound to a certain extent.

Judging from the current market price, the price in each main production area is 4.03 yuan per catty, which is 0.04 yuan lower than the price of the previous day, and the price in the main sales area has dropped to 4.34 yuan per catty, which is lower than the previous day. 0.06 yuan. In Suzhou and Anhui, the price of eggs has dropped to 4 yuan per catty, and the price of eggs in Shandong can reach 4 yuan per catty, and the wholesale price is only 3.87 yuan per catty. The price in Hebei, Henan and other places is around 4 yuan; the price of eggs in Shanghai is 4.35 yuan per catty, and the price of eggs in Guangdong is 4.2 yuan per catty. On the whole, the price of eggs in Shandong has fallen below the cost line, while the price of eggs in other regions has also fallen below the cost line. With the continuous rise of feed prices, egg farming is at a loss.

The decline in the price of eggs is closely related to the hot weather and consumer demand. In addition, the current schools have been closed one after another, which has reduced the consumption of eggs. Some egg merchants dare not buy eggs in large quantities for fear of quality problems. In addition, the current consumption is in a downturn. Although there will be more new eggs produced in June, it is estimated that the price of eggs will fall below 3.8 yuan per catty due to the continuous decline in egg prices. After all, the current egg production capacity is still not large, and the current inventory is relatively large.

The pig fell.

For the price drop of cattle, sheep and chicken, some people point the source to pigs, and the current pork market has indeed fallen to the bottom of nearly two years, and the price is only 10 yuan per catty. In this regard, many people lament that they finally eat cheap meat, but for farmers, the price of pigs has plunged, and the losses of farmers have been increasing.

At present, the price of live pigs has reached the average price of 7 yuan per catty, and the cost of large farms such as Wen's, New Hope and Muyuan has reached 10 yuan per catty, and some pig breeding companies have lost as much as 800 yuan per catty. * * The sad thing is that the second fattening farmers, especially the high-priced pigs purchased at 12 yuan per catty in March, have now fallen to 7 yuan per catty, and the loss of live pigs has reached 1500 yuan. Many people are also very helpless.

According to relevant data, the current pig-to-grain ratio has reached 5:1, which is close to the warning line of 6.45:1. The loss has become obvious, and the loss of live pigs has become normal. According to farmer Lao Wang, before this, the cost of a pig The price is in 1500 yuan, and when it grows to 300 jin, one pig can buy 1800 yuan, and the loss has reached 1000 yuan. One of the main reasons for the loss is the sharp rise in feed costs. As we all know, the price of live pigs in 2017 was in 7 yuan per catty, but it was still profitable at that time. Today, the cost of feed has risen by more than 50%, and the price of piglets fattened for the second time is high. * * eventually led to serious losses in breeding.

In fact, the loss of live pigs is mostly affected by the sharp rise in feed. It should be noted that live pigs were also 6-7 yuan per catty in 2017, but pig farmers still make profits. However, today's feed cost is as high as more than 50%, coupled with the high cost of piglets, resulting in a sharp drop in pig prices.

In the next time, it is difficult for the price of live pigs in shortage to rise, and it is estimated that the rising cycle will be as long as 2 to 2.5 years. In the face of such a situation, farmers still have to have a certain psychological preparation.

Sheep fall

In 2021, the sheep market can be said to be soaring all the way, from 13 yuan a catty in previous years to 17 yuan, and such a favorable market situation makes sheep farmers also make a lot of money. According to statistics, the average profit per fattened sheep can reach 1000 yuan.

However, the good times did not last long. The decline in pig prices has led to a decline in sheep prices. According to relevant merchants, the price of small-tailed Han sheep in Hebei is 13.3 yuan per catty, the price of Shandong is 13.5 yuan per catty, and the price of ewes around 100 catties is 14.3 yuan. For this sheep price drop, farmers said that from 17 yuan to 13 yuan, sheep farmers have lost nearly 200 yuan. This loss deals with the fall in sheep prices, as well as the increase in farming costs. If it is the previous price, 13 yuan per catty of sheep can bring a certain profit. In the next market, many farmers said that they would collectively clear the fence, mainly fearing that they would lose too much like the price of live pigs.

Xiao Wang, a sheep farmer in Xiaobian's hometown, said that at present, the price of sheep in the local area is only 12.5 yuan per jin, and even the price of 13 yuan can not be sold. A sheep will lose nearly 300 yuan, and the price of a little ewe lamb is only about 600 yuan.

In the face of so many changes in sheep prices, some sheep farmers said it was difficult to say the future market situation. After all, into the summer of July, some consumption is also increasing, such as mutton skewers, roast lamb chops and other catering industry consumption is increasing. Therefore, it is better to wait for a certain opportunity to make moves. After all, there is still a gap.
