At the two sessions of this year, Qin Yinglin, deputy to the National People’s Congress and Muyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002714) chairman of the board, submitted suggestions on promoting the high-quality development of the pig industry. There are five suggestions in total, which are: accelerating the high-quality development of pig seed industry, vigorously promoting the application of low protein diet, alleviating the continuous rise in the cost of pig breeding industry caused by the rise of raw grain price, accelerating the intelligent transformation and upgrading of pig industry, promoting the development of agricultural modernization, promoting the purification of pig diseases, and improving the breeding level of the industry Increase support for breeding areas, establish a long-term mechanism for subsidies in production and marketing areas, and stabilize pig production.
suggestions on strengthening breeding innovation of breeding pigs
Qin Yinglin mentioned in his proposal that by the end of 2021, fertile sows and pig stocks have returned to the level before the occurrence of African swine fever, pig prices have continued to decline, and have entered the trough of the pig cycle. At the same time, due to the impact of the continuous rise in the prices of feed raw grains such as corn and soybean meal, the breeding industry has fallen into a comprehensive loss, and China’s breeding industry should move from a large breeding country to a powerful breeding country, Pig industry must take the road of high-quality development.
For accelerating the high-quality development of pig seed industry, he suggested:
Accelerate the high-quality development of pig seed industry and strengthen the protection and utilization of pig germplasm resources. Comprehensively carry out the general survey of pig genetic resources, strengthen the construction of national seed conservation farms, reserves and gene banks, and improve the protection level of excellent variety resources.
Strengthen the innovation of breeding pigs. Adhere to independent innovation and build a modern pig seed industry innovation system with market orientation, enterprises as the main body and deep integration of industry, University and research. Encourage industries and enterprises to update breeding concepts, guide pig breeding enterprises to scientifically define breeding objectives, selection indexes and breeding schemes according to the needs of the Chinese market, and adhere to cultivating varieties or strains more suitable for production in the Chinese environment.
In addition, it can speed up the breeding and promotion of improved varieties. Strengthen the construction of modern pig breeding system, implement the pig genetic improvement plan, encourage industry leading enterprises to play a leading role, improve the self-sufficiency rate of core sources and improve the supply capacity of improved varieties.
Systematic planning at the national level to integrate pig breeding enterprises and build a big data platform for pigs. Relying on the latest information technology means such as Internet of things, cloud platform and intelligence, support the development of pig industry, monitor the development trend of seed industry, and gradually improve the evaluation system of high-quality breeding pigs.
In addition, Qin Yinglin also suggested that we should speed up the intelligent transformation and upgrading of the pig industry and boost the development of agricultural modernization. The high-quality development of China’s pig industry depends on scientific and technological innovation – using the new intelligent pig raising model to promote the structural reform of the pig industry and realize industrial transformation and upgrading. For the pig industry, the four-year pig cycle is objective. Facing the pig cycle, the industry needs to be encouraged to improve management and production efficiency through technological innovation, and finally achieve cost leadership.
vigorously promote the application of low protein diet to alleviate the pressure of rising costs
In terms of pig food and feed, Qin Yinglin suggested to vigorously promote the application of low protein diet and alleviate the situation that the rising cost of pig breeding industry caused by the rising price of raw grain. Adjust and optimize the feed formula structure, vigorously promote the technology of low protein diet, guide the diversification of feed formula, and promote the reduction and substitution of corn and soybean meal.
For pig diseases, Qin Yinglin suggested to promote the purification of pig diseases and improve the breeding level of the industry.
He said that the layout of pig breeding in China is concentrated and dominated by small and medium-sized farmers. Small and medium-sized farmers have poor biosafety foundation, backward awareness of prevention and control, and simple prevention and control facilities, which can not effectively prevent and control the epidemic situation. Under the background of the epidemic situation, the production capacity of breeding enterprises in a large area will be greatly reduced, and once the epidemic situation is concentrated in a breeding area, it will also be difficult to prevent and control mosquitoes and flies in a large area. In particular, the African pig plague in 2018 exposed the shortcomings of China’s breeding. In the absence of African classical swine fever vaccine, improving the level of biosafety is the only way to prevent and control African classical swine fever. African swine fever virus has been colonized in China. After more than two years of exploration and attempt, the industry has explored a set of effective prevention and control methods, accumulated prevention and control experience, and the pig production capacity has returned to the level before African swine fever. The recurrence of epidemic diseases is still an important risk for the stable development of pig industry. It is imperative to promote the purification of pig diseases.
Qin Yinglin also suggested increasing support for breeding production areas and establishing a long-term mechanism for subsidies in production and marketing areas to stabilize pig production: on the one hand, encourage major pig selling provinces to support major producing provinces to develop pig production, and promote the formation of a long-term mechanism for compensating production areas through resource and environment compensation and cross regional cooperation to establish breeding bases; On the other hand, give full play to the supporting role of pig transfer out of large counties, increase the support for pig transfer out of large counties, increase the scale of incentive funds, optimize the dynamic adjustment mechanism of pig transfer out of large counties, and support the development of pig production and the construction of circulation infrastructure.
