In 2023, the culling rate of breeding sows will be 52%, as high as 144% in nearly one percent of pig farms, and more than 10% of the valueless culling of lactation and nursery
On January 27, Wepig Technology and Xinzhupai jointly released the "2023 Annual Report on Pig Industry Data".
From a macro point of view, at the end of 2023, the national breeding sow herd will be 41.42 million, a year-on-year decrease of 57%；The number of live pigs slaughtered was 726.62 million, a year-on-year increase of 38%。
The average ** for the whole year of 2023 is about 15 yuan kg, and the annual pig food ratio is lower than the warning line of 6:1. The main feed raw materials** are still high, and the annual fattening pig feed** is still higher than in the past 5 years.
From the perspective of breeding sow performance, the mating performance continues to improve. 7 days after weaning, mating accounted for 8227%, corresponding to a reduction in the average mating interval by 135 days to 862 days. The farrowing rate rises to 80 throughout the year33%About 45% of the farms have a farrowing rate between 80% and 90%.
However, the farrowing results have declined, and the average litter size has decreased by 022 litters, the number of live litters in the litter decreased by 011 litters. Key performance indicators such as suckling piglet survival rate, litter weaning, LSY and PSY all decreased compared to 2022
It is worth noting that in 2023The farrowing rate of gilts and parity sows is close to 80%., an increase of 5% year-on-year, and the difference with the results of 3-4 children has also narrowed to about 3%. It shows that the mating rate of new sows in 2023 will be significantly improved.
The data shows thatIn 2023, the sow culling rate will reach an average of 5196%, up 13 percent year-on-year35%。Nearly one percent of the pig farms have a sow elimination rate of 14416%, especially in the second half of the year, the analysis believes that the reduction or clearance is caused. Among the reasons for the elimination and departure of breeding sows, reproduction-related performance and disease-related performance accounted for 38% and 20%, respectivelyOptimized inventory accounted for 12%.
Disease was the main cause of the death and elimination of breeding sows, accounting for 425%, including 15 for digestive tract and flatulence2%, acute severe disease 92%；Stress and sudden death also accounted for 187%。
In 2023, both nursery pigs and fattening will decline year-on-year, including12% of lactation value and 10% of conservation value, a significant year-on-year increase, indicating that the farm is more active in adjusting the commercial pig inventory.
Foreword
The annual report of Wepig data is tracked and analyzed by Fuzhou Wepig Information Technology Co., Ltd. and the pig breeding data of the Wepig big data platform, and independently writes and publishes the annual report of pig industry data at the end of the year and the beginning of the year. The 2023 WePig Data Annual Report mainly includes: macro trends in the pig industry, herd performance analysis of Wepig big data platform, inter-farm comparison of full-load pig farms, and analysis of pig herd death. The inter-farm comparison data in this data annual report is summarized by the Wepig big data platform and does not involve specific pig farm data. All other data are based on publicly available materials or information. We have marked the relevant data as much as possible**, and if there are any omissions, please let us know so that we can correct them. The content of this data annual report does not guarantee the completeness and accuracy of the information. The content of the report is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a basis for decision-making and investment, nor is it responsible for the consequences of association or non-association. 
ConclusionIn 2023, under the influence of factors such as low prices, production capacity, and health challenges, the pig inventory will decline slowly and the slaughter will rise instead of falling, pig prices will continue to be sluggish, and pig breeding will enter the era of low profits. However, pig enterprises still maintained a stable breeding herd, and the production performance decreased compared with 2022, but the overall performance was still higher than that in 2021. However, some pig enterprises are facing great challenges and have to close their groups or change their production.
In the face of the challenges of pig farming, digital transformation has become even more important. Through digital means, pig enterprises can realize the digital management of pig production, nutrition, health, breeding and other businesses, further improve production efficiency, calculate costs more finely, and make the core competitiveness of enterprises more stable. The Wepig team is committed to providing comprehensive digital services and solutions for pig breeding enterprises, helping them to digitally transform and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of pig breeding business.
In the face of the challenges of pig farming, only hope and confidence can accompany pig farmers through the fog. Let us persevere, continue to improve the ability of pig breeding to reduce costs and increase efficiency, effectively control risks, and maintain competitive advantages. May every pig enterprise be as brave and steady as a mountain, and as tranquil as the deep sea; May every pig farmer spread his wings and soar like an eagle, as warm and bright as the sun.
Pig raising is a long road, and micro pigs are often accompanied!
