The pig farm in Germany to be introduced today is operated by a Dutchman and has a history of 30 years. The main building and environmental control have never changed. The PSY has always been kept above 30, and the cost of weaning piglets has reached 27 euros, which is equivalent to RMB 209! How can a pig farm that has been in use for 30 years still achieve such impressive production results? This article will reveal the secrets for you

Ladies and gentlemen, let’s take a look at a few photos of a pig farm.

Looking at the photo above, what is your first impression of this pig farm? If you don’t look at the data, you will feel that the pig farm is not well managed, there is no time to clean the aisles, and looking at the degree of spider webs and mildew, it seems that the mildew has exceeded the standard many times, and the production performance must be very poor. but it is not the truth.

This pig farm is the most cattle farm I have come across so far, bar none. The pig farm is in Germany. A 28-year-old boy from the Netherlands bought the farm ten years ago, and it has grown from 300 sows to 1,000 females.

Why do you say this pig farm cow?

1. The pig farm has always been managed by the young man alone, and his PSY has always been kept above 30.

2. The cost of piglets (including land, depreciation of pig farm construction, feed, veterinary, power, labor, manure treatment, bank loan interest, etc.) achieved a weaning cost of 27 euros. If it is converted into RMB, it is only 209 yuan.

3. This pig farm has a history of 30 years, and their ventilation was done 30 years ago with a vertical ventilation system (not applicable in some high-temperature and high-humidity seasons). Their main building and environmental controls have never changed.

4. The cost of all feed (including sows, piglets, reserve, and boars) only accounts for 50% of the total cost. You must know that the unit price of feed in Europe is not cheaper than that in China.

In fact, the key indicator that restricts the efficiency of pig raising in my country today is the number of piglets weaned per sow year (PSY). In developed countries, an annual output of 30 sows + weaned piglets has been achieved, while my country can achieve 18 to 20 pigs, which is a good level. The fertility of sows needs to be explored and improved urgently, and there is a huge space for development.

So what core concepts do we want to learn from Europe?

Ladies and gentlemen, what I want to talk to you about is not a specific detail, but the overall structure and starting point of the pig farm. We pay attention to too many details in domestic pig raising. In fact, many details have little impact on production, but we have ignored some basic structures. That is, in the planning, design and management of pig farms, it is more important to distinguish the primary and secondary!

My understanding is that their starting point is very clear, they know what pigs need in a certain link, where the key energy that people need to put in, and clearly distinguish the priority.

For example, in the breeding house, they clearly know that the breeding house needs a certain amount of light intensity, time, the particularity of the feed, and the seductive stimulation of the boar. For hygiene and others, he may put it second or more. It is very important that his silo and feed line are cleaned regularly!

The problem of their structure is that they have been built at the beginning of the construction of the pig farm. European pig farmers pay great attention to the stability and thermal insulation performance of the main structure of the pig house, and pay attention to the improvement and systematic problems of the management system and production process after operation. , such as electricity, ventilation, and feed line requirements are stable and easy to maintain.

As for their breeding costs, I also have more detailed production data and financial data. The sow feed is about 1.1 tons per year, and the cost of converting into piglets is about 9 euros per head. The cost of adding piglet feed is 2 euros, and the cost of adding back stock and boars is about 1 euro. The total cost is between 12-13 euros. The veterinary cost is 72 EUR/sow (including piglet and sow vaccines, veterinary medicines). The sow has only four shots of the vaccine, and the immunity is mainly blue ear, small and diarrhea, and the reserve will have one more shot of diarrhea, and the piglets are mainly the ring vaccine.

The average cost of veterinary drugs for each weaned piglet is no more than 2.4 euros (the exchange rate of 1 euro = 7.7388 yuan on April 6), you can convert it yourself. The above feed and drug costs are more common in foreign countries.

The labor cost in Germany is 50,000 euros per year, 44 weeks of work per year, 40 hours per week, or about 28 euros per hour, about three temporary employees, about 10 hours per week on average, about 30 hours in total, and the rest for themselves My salary. The labor cost in Europe is four times that of ours, but the labor efficiency is twice ours (according to our current relatively high-efficiency pig farms in China).

It can be seen that the cost abroad is better than our domestic control!

As practitioners in the pig raising industry, we really need to think about what the ideal cost structure of pig raising should be, what is our starting point for raising pigs, and what are the main and secondary aspects of the overall structure and management of pig raising of. I hope today’s sharing can bring you some new understanding of pig farming.
