I. core view
Rating and Strategy: the data of breeding sows in January was slightly lower than expected, the recent loss range of the industry expanded, and the logic of capacity removal and pig price will hit the bottom was strong, maintaining the “optimistic” rating of the breeding sector. Geopolitical tensions and adverse weather effects have not been substantially alleviated. The logic of high food prices outside China is strong, maintaining the “optimistic” rating of the planting sector. Combined with the valuation, continue to focus on the recommendation of pig breeding and yellow feather broiler breeding.
1. Aquaculture industry chain
1) pig industry: maintain the “optimistic” rating and focus on Muyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002714) and Tecon Biology Co.Ltd(002100) . Last week, the average price of pigs in 22 provinces and cities was 12.48 yuan / kg, down 1.48 yuan per week; Piglets were 25.43 yuan / kg, down 1.98 yuan / kg per week; Binary sows were 32.9 yuan / kg, with a weekly increase of 0.08 yuan / kg. The head of self breeding and autotrophic mode lost 495 yuan, thanks to 159 yuan last week. Pig prices bottomed twice, and there is limited room for further decline. At the end of January, there were 42.9 million fertile sows in China, a decrease of 0.9%, 4.63% higher than the normal population. The speed of capacity removal in the industry has slowed down slightly recently, mainly due to the delay in the elimination of sows by farms due to the rebound of pig prices and the reversal expectation in the second half of the year. It is expected that with the expansion of losses and the intensification of capital chain tension, the subsequent capacity de industrialization will speed up. At present, the judgment on the bottom reversal of production capacity and pig price in the third quarter is maintained. With the correction of stock price, the valuation of the sector moved down below the historical average, highlighting the safety margin and maintaining the “optimistic” rating of the industry. In terms of individual stocks, focus on Muyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002714) and Tecon Biology Co.Ltd(002100) and focus on Wens Foodstuff Group Co.Ltd(300498) , Tangrenshen Group Co.Ltd(002567) , Shenzhen Kingsino Technology Co.Ltd(002548) and Fujian Aonong Biological Technology Group Incorporation Limited(603363) .
2) yellow chicken industry: maintain the “optimistic” rating and focus on Jiangsu Lihua Animal Husbandry Co.Ltd(300761) . In January, the price of Lihua yellow chicken was 14.46 yuan / kg, with a monthly increase of 0.26 yuan / kg; Wen’s yellow chicken sold for 13.98 yuan / kg, down 0.62 yuan per month. The price of yellow chicken has been above the cost line since the fourth quarter of 2021, and is expected to remain stable in the next 1-2 quarters. In the medium and long term, environmental constraints and the banning of the live poultry market will jointly promote the accelerated withdrawal of small and medium-sized production capacity, and the competition pattern of the industry is expected to continue to be optimized. Maintain the “optimistic” rating of the industry, focus on Jiangsu Lihua Animal Husbandry Co.Ltd(300761) , and pay attention to Wens Foodstuff Group Co.Ltd(300498) and Hunan Xiangjia Animal Husbandry Company Limited(002982) .
3) dynamic insurance: give a good rating, with emphasis on Wuhan Keqian Biology Co.Ltd(688526) . On the eve of the reversal of the pig cycle, the prosperity of pig vaccine was under short-term pressure. In the medium and long term, the improvement of large-scale breeding level, the iteration of product technology upgrading and the listing of new products will drive the expansion of the animal protection market. At the same time, the new GMP certificate certification, feed prohibition and breeding restriction, as well as the improvement of the biological security level of the breeding industry will promote the reform of the animal protection industry and optimize the competition pattern. At present, the industry valuation is at the bottom of history and the safety margin is high, so it is given a good rating. Individual stocks mainly recommend Wuhan Keqian Biology Co.Ltd(688526) with reasonable valuation and R & D advantages.

1) planting: maintain the “optimistic” rating and focus on Jiangsu Provincial Agricultural Reclamation And Development Co.Ltd(601952) .
