Developing China's cattle breeding industry must take the fine line

This year, the price of beef has soared. Sun Sikui, a snowflake breeder in Pingdu City, attributed feed prices. The breeding cycle of a pig is basically 6-9 months, while the breeding cycle of a cow is more than 26 months. From the breeding cycle and the site alone, the cost of raising cattle is much higher than that of raising pigs.

In addition, from the perspective of feed costs, pigs are omnivorous animals, and there are many types of edible feeds, which are relatively inexpensive; while cattle are simple herbivores, and feed costs are high. “An average adult cow will eat 30 yuan of feed each day.” Sun Sikui said that if we counted it, the cost of raising a cow feed would be 2,000 yuan, and the adult boar would be about 1,000 pounds. , cattle breeding is not as good as raising pigs to make money."

But the same account, to where He Bing here, is another algorithm. “Mainly, changes in market demand have triggered a rise in beef prices.” He Bing believes that the factors for rising pork prices this year are complex and cannot be simply attributed to rising costs. They also include changes in dietary structure and consumption levels. “Now the living standards of domestic residents have increased, and consumer demand for beef has also greatly increased.” He Bing told reporters that the neighboring country, Japan, for example, in the cold and fresh products, the market share of beef is more than 60%, while pork The market share is only about 20%, but in Europe and the United States, the market share of cattle pork is greater than the difference. "Facts have proved that eating beef is indeed healthier than eating pork, and this is also being accepted by more and more Chinese people." He Bing said that under traditional farming methods, beef is difficult to grade, unable to sell a reasonable price, naturally leading to Farmers can't make ends meet. To really develop China's cattle industry, we must take the fine line.

Uncovering the plastic cling film on beef, He Bing directly ate raw beef. "Actually, what I eat is 'cooked' beef, but it is not traditionally cooked beef." He Bing said that their beef must go through a "curing" process before it goes on the market. It is essentially detoxification and killing bacteria. It is essentially The ready-to-eat beef is just raw in appearance.

He Bing said that cutting sales and aging treatment are the basic requirements for the sale of beef, but at present most of the farmers' markets cannot be realized, which also makes beef not sellable, causing buyers and sellers to complain. To improve the quality of products so as to achieve a win-win situation between supply and demand is the most suitable path for the development of cattle breeding industry.
