In order to obtain good profits in pig farming, two points are very important. One is disease prevention and control, and the survival rate of the pig herd is increased to a higher level. The other is to learn to control the market. Time to sell pigs, maximize the difference. Recently, a pig-raising friend sent a private letter to the author for consultation. They plan to raise pigs in 2021, and they are outsourcing piglets. When will the profit of catching pigs be “highest”, let’s see what the experts say.

The author believes that for professional fattening households, the best time to catch pigs in 2021 is April and May, mainly for the following three reasons:

1) Piglet prices are low in April and May

The price of live pigs in my country is that it starts to decline in March and April after the Spring Festival, and although it rebounds in May, the price is not ideal due to low consumption. The unsatisfactory effect of the price of live pigs will directly affect the price of piglets. At this time, the price of catching piglets is relatively cheap, and the investment in raising pigs is relatively low.

2) The temperature in April and May is suitable, and the pigs are easy to raise

Whether pigs are well raised or not has a lot to do with the quality of the piglets, as well as the climate. If the temperature is too low, closing the doors and windows will not only cost a lot of heating costs, but also increase the cost of raising pigs due to the high incidence of respiratory diseases. . If the temperature is too high, the feed intake of the pig herd will decrease, the daily weight gain will decrease, and the production performance of the pig herd will be affected.

April and May are late spring and early summer. The temperature is neither high nor low, and heating equipment is required. However, at noon, windows can be opened for ventilation, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of diseases. Moreover, the temperature is suitable for pigs to have high feed intake and also There is no need to spend energy to keep out the cold, and in general, it is the best time to catch the piglets. In addition, September and October are also the best time to catch pigs.

3) After 5-6 months of fattening, the price is suitable when it is released

It generally takes 5-6 months for fat pigs to be released for slaughter. Pigs can be released in October when they are caught in May. There is a folk saying that “golden nine and silver ten”, and this sentence has been brought into full play this year. The price of live pigs began to rise sharply in September. Rising, reaching a peak of 20 yuan/catties in October, and falling immediately in November. In addition, the prices in September and October of each year are ideal.

So comprehensively considering that if you plan to raise pigs in 2021, it is the best time to catch pigs in April and May, and if you catch pigs in April and May this year, as long as the pig farm does not get sick, the profit of a pig is 2000-3000 yuan is very easy , the profit of a batch of pigs of hundreds of thousands was unimaginable before. In the case of epidemics, the money is always prepared for the courageous people.
