Prices for crops and livestock products showed diverse

trends in 2014. Among crops, two years of strong harvests

put further pressure on prices of cereals and oilseeds.

Tighter supplies due to factors including herd rebuilding

and disease outbreaks supported highmeat prices,

while the prices of dairy products dropped steeply from

historic highs. Further adjustments to short-term factors

are expected in 2015, before the medium-term drivers of

supply and demand take hold.

In real terms, prices for all agricultural products are

expected to decrease over the next ten years, as production

growth, helped by on-trend productivity growth and

lower input prices, outpaces slowing demand increases.

While this is consistent with the tendency for long-term

secular decline, prices are projected to remain at a higher

level than in the years preceding the 2007-08 price spike.

Demand will be subdued by per capita consumption

of staple commodities approaching saturation in many

emerging economies and by a generally sluggish recovery

of the global economy.

The major changes in demand are in developing countries,

where continued but slowing population growth, rising per

capita incomes and urbanization all increase the demand

for food. Rising incomes prompt consumers to diversify

Executive Summary of OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2015

their diets by increasing their consumption

of animal protein relative to starches. For

this reason, the prices of meat and dairy

products are expected to be high relative to

the prices of crops; while among crops the

prices of coarse grains and oilseeds used for

feed should rise relative to the prices of food

staples. These structural tendencies are in

some cases offset by specific factors,such as

a flat demand for maize-based ethanol.

In Asia, Europe and North America additional

agricultural production will be driven almost

exclusively by yield improvements, whereas

in South America yield improvements and

additional agricultural area are projected.

Modest production growth is expected in

Brazil is poised to become the foremost supplier in meeting additional global demand,

mostly originating from Asia.


Africa, although further investments could

raise yields and production significantly.

Exports of agricultural commodities are

projected to become concentrated in

fewer countries, while imports become

more dispersed over a large number of

countries. The importance of relatively

few countries in supplying global markets

for some k ey commodit ies increases

market risks, including those associated

with natural disasters or the adoption of

disruptive trade measures. Overall, trade is

expected to increase more slowly than in the

previous decade, but maintaining a stable

share relative to global production and

consumption.

The current baseline reflects fundamental

supply and demand conditions on world

agricultural markets. However, the Outlook

is subject to a variety of uncertainties, some

of which are explored by stochastic analysis.

If historical variations in yields, oil prices

and economic growth are projected into

the future, then there is a high probability

of at least one severe shock to international

markets within the next ten years.

Commodity highlights

Cereals: High stocks and decreasing

production costs are driving nominal cereal

prices further down in the short term, while

sustained demand and rising production

costs should increase nominal prices again in

the medium term.

Oilseeds: Strong demand for protein

meal wi l l dr ive fur ther expansion of

oilseed production. This will result in a high

contribution of the meal component to the

overall oilseed return and further favour

expansion of soybean production especially

in Brazil.

Meat: Output is expected to respond

to an improvement in margins, with lower

feed grain prices set to restore profitability

to a sector that has been operating in an

environment of particularly high and volatile

feed costs for most of the past decade.

Fisheries: Worldwide fisheries production

is projected to expand by almost 20% by

2024.

Aquaculture is expected to surpass total

capture fisheries in 2023.

Brazil

This year’s Outlook contains a special focus

on Brazil. This country ranks among the

world’s ten largest economies and is the

second largest global supplier of food and

agricultural products. Brazil is poised to

become the foremost supplier in meeting

additional global demand, mostly originating

from Asia.

S u p p l y g r o w t h i s p r o j e c t e d t o b e

driven by continued improvements in

produc t iv i t y,with higher crop y ie lds,

some conversion of pasture to cropland

and more intensive livestock production.

Structural reforms and a reorientation of

support towards productivity enhancing

investments, for example in infrastructure,

could foster these opportunities, as could

trade agreements that improve access to

foreign markets.

Brazil has made outstanding progress in

eliminating hunger and reducing poverty.

Prospects for further reductions in poverty

through agricultural development are

widening,in some food crops as well as

in higher value products such as coffee,

h o r t i c u l t u r e a n d t r o p i c a l f r u i t s . Th e

realization of these opportunities calls for

further targeting of rural development

policies.

Brazil’s agricultural growth can be achieved

sustainably. While additional supply will

continue to come more from productivity

gains than area increases, the pressure on

natural resources is expected to be alleviated

b y e nv i r o n m e n t a l a n d c o n s e r va t i o n

initiatives, including support for sustainable

cultivation practices, the conversion of

systems.

Global Protein Developments: What are the Implications for the Meat Industry?

Global protein demand will increase by a factor of 3.5 over

a 50 year period, namely from 1980-2030. Poultry will show

the biggest increase in demand, followed by eggs, with

seafood and beef having the

lowest increase in demand, writes

Stuart Lumb.

Countries have different dynamics

with regard to protein demand,

with this being correlated to

individual income.

In countries with an annual income

<$5000, food is seen as a need. In

the BRIC countries (income $5,000-

$15,000) food and eating is seen as

a social occasion.

In more affluent countries with

incomes of $15,000- $40,000,

where supermarket shopping is

the norm, food is associated with

wellbeing.

Finally in countries such as the USA & EU (incomes > $40,000),

food is seen as stimulation and there is social responsibility

shown with regard to protein consumption, concerns about

the environment and also animal welfare.

Meat production from 2010-2020 will increase hugely

in China, naturally in the form of pork, although protein

production in Asia is very costly as American corn is much

cheaper than Chinese corn.

What Can We Expect in the Coming Years? According to Albert Vemooij, Rabobank, there will be

bullish global protein markets supported by ongoing low

feed costs.

In 2014, PEDv outbreaks resulted in surging global pork

prices, with drought impacting on the global beef industry.

In 2015, all proteins are searching for stability. Regarding

pork, strong supply and weak demand will pressure prices.


China has seen a 10% drop in its national

pig herd and will look to imports to cover

the shortfall, but there are exchange rate

implications here.

The weather will continue to dominate the

beef supply situation with limited supply

from the main exporters namely US, Brazil

and Australia.

Changes in the beef industry always take

a long time because of the period it takes

for cattle to reproduce, relative to poultry

and pigs.

Regarding poultry, an upbeat margin

outlook due to lower feed costs, high beef

prices and strong demand in most regions

except China.

Avian influenza spread, exchange rate

volatility and turmoil in regions such as the

Middle East and Eastern Europe impact

global trade and shifting trade streams.

In the future, India will potentially become a large exporter of buffalo

meat.

Industry Developments: Meat CompaniesUS and Brazilian meat companies dominate, namely Tyson in the US

and JBS in Brazil.

The meat industry is under increasing pressure. It must become more

efficient and mergers are bound to take place.

Rabobank: Global Demand for Protein in Feed Increases

As global demand for meat, fish and dairy grows, so too does demand for animal feed.

The demand for vegetable protein meals for use in animal feed has increased, and

this trend is likely to continue over the coming decade, says Dutch Rabobank.

The increasing share of protein in feed, combined with increasing meat consumption and

absolute population growth, raise important questions on how the supply of vegetable

meals can keep pace with rising demand for animal feed.

Trend of relative scarcity in protein meals to continue

Rabobank believes the drivers for this uptick in protein usage, and the range of potential

outcomes for the global food & agribusiness (F&A) are of strategic importance. Depending

on the strength of the supply chain response, Rabobank expects the longer-term trend of

relative scarcity in protein meals to continue-and, with it, periodic bouts of significant price

volatility-will remain the norm for the coming decade.

Enhancing feed conversion efficiency

"Companies can position themselves effectively, depending on their position in the chain,

by securing access to protein feed in the long term, developing alternative protein supplies

and continually enhancing feed conversion efficiency," says Clara van der Elst, senior analyst

Rabobank Food & Agribusiness. As a result, they will experience less volatility or high prices.

Actual 'gap' between protein meal demand and supply will never materialise

Depending on the quality of the harvests of the coming years — droughts could cause a

steep decline — the current trends suggest the vegetable meal supply/demand balance

may experience pressure over the coming decade. In turn, this will trigger a range of

responses along the meat production supply chain. An actual 'gap' between protein meal

demand and supply will never materialise, of course, as the market will respond to higher

prices that result from demand starting to increase faster than supply.

Strategies for F&A companies

Rabobank has plotted the strategies F&A companies could deploy to deal with the

opportunities and risks presented by these issues. These vary along their position in the

supply chain, but consist of roughly two kinds. The first is R&D or technology, in areas

such as crop yield improvements, feed formulation, feed conversion and alternative feed

protein development. The second is for business strategies to involve closer alliances and

potentially integration between companies operating in adjacent steps of the supply chain.

Technology

Properly balanced low-protein diets enhance animal performance and improved

profitability — assuming prices for crystalline amino acids are favorable.

Using crystalline amino acids to lower crude protein concentration by 2 percent will not

create problems in animal performance or carcass characteristics.

In the post-antibiotic era, low-protein diets are rather the norm than the exception

and their benefits are increasingly recognized even when antibiotics are still used in

formulations for pigs and poultry. Assuming cost is about the same, feeding low-protein

diets (that are fully supplemented with all essential amino acids) can lead to enhanced

health and even improved feed efficiency.

Let’s examine each statement in detail to understand why and when low-protein diets

can be beneficial from a biological point of view and when this translates to increased

profitability.

The role of synthetic amino acids

To begin with, a low-protein diet is one that provides all required amino acids without

excesses. Here, we must stress again that alow-protein diet is not meant to be one that

does not cover the animal requirements for essential amino acids so that they experience

reduced performance. Instead, it is the excess amino acids that are trimmed, and by excess

we mean the unavoidable surpluses of all amino acids used to satisfy the need for the first

limiting amino acid. The latter refers to lysine for pigs and methionine for poultry (in most

conventional corn-soy type diets).

Now, to lower the crude protein concentration of a diet, the use of synthetic amino acids

is of paramount importance, and here is where economics should be in favor of the lower-

protein diet. As of today, only crystalline lysine, methionine, threonine and tryptophan are

commercially available at reasonable prices. As such, we must continue to provide some

excess protein in order to cover the needs of other essential amino acids, such as valine

and isoleucine.

How to Formulate Low-Protein Diets for Pigs, Poultry


The question then becomes:How much

can we lower crude protein?

The answer is rather easy, but it has

taken many years of research to discover.

Undermost practical conditions, lowering

crude protein concentration by two

percentage points,by using crystalline

amino acids (for example, from 18to 16

percent crude protein inthe diet), creates

no problems in animal performance or carcass characteristics.

A reduction of four percentage points requires a bit more work. For this,

other amino acids,such as valine and isoleucine must be well balanced by

introducing less conventional feedstuffs into the feed formulation.

In addition, all amino acids should be expressed ona digestible basis, whereas

the energy of the diet should be expressed using a net energy system (in the

case of pigs).

Benefits of low-protein diets

But, let’s get back to why low-protein diets are beneficial.

First, the animal benefits from less excess protein (nitrogen)that has to

deaminate (detoxify) as free nitrogen in the blood system is toxic and must

be excreted (via urine) –and that at a significant energy expenditure.

This brings us to another benefit, namely less urine production and

consequently lower demand for water. This translates to less manure volume.

In addition, what manure is produced is lower in nitrogen, not only because

of less nitrogen in urine, but also because with lower-protein diets, protein

digestibility is increased and as such less nitrogen is excreted in fecal matter.

At the end, less land is required to dispose the manure,which is a constant

headache in many parts of this world.

Utilization of the net energy system

Now, as the animal has less excess protein to get rid of (anenergy-consuming

process), it is left with some spare energy,and here we run the risk of

increasing carcass lipid concentration if we are not vigilant.

This becomes especially tricky as we go from

two to four percentage points reduction in

dietary crude protein concentration.

And, here is where the use of the net energy

system is of most importance.

As net energy is expressed independently of

dietary crude protein (a problem inherent

in the metabolizable energysystem that is

widely used especiallyfor poultry feeds), we

can formulate low-protein diets without

increasing carcass fatness.

As such, we can take advantage of the

energy “surplus”and direct it to productive

purposes.

This produces improved feed efficiency,

which is a lwaysa good thing, and, of

course,lower cost of production.

In conclusion, low-protein diets are good

for the animal, the environment, and the

producer.

All these assuming the cost of crystalline

amino acids does not rob us of all these

benefits.

With the rapid development

of information technology,

t h e m o d e r n i z a t i o n a n d

informationizat ion of the

animal husbandry industry is

inevitable. The high speed development year

by year of the animal husbandry industry

in China squeezes the land available to

animal farming. With the ever-increasing

cost of labor, the improvement of piggery

utilization, automation, labor efficiency

and especially environmental control have

become the highest priorities.

The environmental control in animal

farming involves the control of temperature,

humidity, light, noise, microbes, dust, and gas

composition and the content of it. Proper

environmental control technology ensures

the animals enjoy suitable temperature,

humidity, absence of heat stress and cold

stress and releases harmful gas, dust and

microbes.

Cooling products are the highlight of

FAMSUN farming. The sidewall FRP blower is

of the universal axial flow fan type. Different

modes of ventilation can be applied in

different seasons. Longitudinal ventilation

is often used in summers to lower the

temperature ensure the right wind speed

and in the meantime control the humidity

and dust of the house. Lateral ventilation is

carried out by the combination of sidewall

fan and ventilation window to make sure

the air go through the house transversely.

The natural and mechanical combined

ventilation is referred to when there is large

temperature difference.

Quality Farm Environmental Control System to Secure Profitability

When it comes to longitudinal ventilation, the fan should be used with the help of the

wet cooling pad. Such mode requires enough amount of wind, right air intake, airflow

direction, right pad area, water quality and temperature. The wind quantity can be

changed by changing the ventilation area, number of fans, the size of the ventilation

window and the steel ceiling.

The FRP blower of FAMSUN boasts characteristics such as strong anti-corrosion, aging

resistance, and low noise and can be used in livestock and poultry houses, greenhouses,

factories.

1. Bearing: the import brands area adopted for

better performance and reliability.

2. Motor bracket: The 4mm thick full aluminum

motor bracket offers a ridge shape for the fan, which

can eliminate vibration and prevent corrosion.

Compared with common thin stainless steel

brackets, the aluminum motor bracket is stronger,

lighter and sturdy and durable.

3. Glass fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) fan blade:

it is made from compound glass fiber. The high

precision dynamic balancing of the fan blade

ensures the stable and efficient operation. The

blades made from glass fiber reinforced plastic

blade is more corrosion-proof and thus have longer

service life.

4. Mirror stainless steel blade: Its performance

is proved by high precision dynamic balancing

tests. When operational, it does not collect dust, or

deform.

5. Mesh enclosure: The mesh enclosure is made of

quality steel and treated with surface coating.

6. PVC shutter: PVC windows shutters is light and

antioxidant, indeformable, free to open. It reduces

the amount of back-flowing air.

7. Bell mouth: the fan is designed according to the

hydromechanical principles so that the bell mouth

can work to change the direction of the airflow and

reduces flocculating airflow and increase the wind

quantity.

8. Wind scooper: The wind scooper can

be used in cold climates to prevent the air

blowing back into the pig houses or the

contaminated air being inhaled into the

houses. The wind scooper can be customized

by equipping itself with fiber reinforced

plastics to be highly corrosion resistant.

The environmental controller was imported

from Israel especially for Chinese customers.

The computer system for the environmental

control system adopts the global renowned

"rotem" series. The automatic environmental

controller, after being configured controls

the ventilation, aeration and warning of the

piggery. The core switches of the control box

are equipped with Schneider components,

the remaining with CHINT products; the

warning system is of a two-stage warning

one, with the alarm lamp being the LED red-

blue flashing light.

The environmental control system of

FAMSUN ensures sufficient supply of air

for the animals and eliminates the harmful

gas, dust or humid air. Living in a suitable

environment, the animals can enjoy higher

feed conversion rate, reducing the costs of

the farming and securing more profit.


In a modern crushing plant, there are often hundreds or thousands

of automatic control points. Upon the completion of a crushing

plant, all the sensors should be debugged one by one. The liquid

containers and channels in the extracting workshop should be cleaned;

tests should be conducted to test the pressure and locate possible

leakage. As for the evaporation system and the hydration degumming

and phospholipid drying system, oil is used to run necessary test

with the help of steam flashing and heating. Safety check should be

conducted before a solvent is added. With everything prepared and in

order, the solvent can be added.

1. No-load running

For equipment such as the pump, the inching method is advised in

case of possible damage done to the machine. Through pretreatment,

preimpregnation and the linkage trial run of the equipment in the meal

storehouse, the solidarity of the chain can be checked, reducing the

equipment failure rate and improving the efficiency of the equipment.

Start the exhaust fan and check for the connection resistance of all

the containers and channels. The breather valve of the underground

solvent tank should be equipped with a lightning rod which should

be one meter higher than the breather valve; so it is the same with the

emptying pipe of the exhaust fan if the pipe juts out on the roof.

2. Leak testing

The hydraulic test, air-tight test, air pressure test can be separately

done or combined; the equipment, channels, pipe fittings, the solvent

and solvent gas system, water-cycling system and steam system are to

be checked for any kind of leakage. Different testing methods can be

employed according to the challenges popping up in actual operations

and specific working substance.

For mixed oil evaporation system, solvent recovery system, condenser

system, circulating water system, the hydraulic test is preferable. Run

the pump in the system to check its pumpage and working condition.

The steam detecting method is used in the steam pipes, direct steam

nozzles, steam system and heat-exchange equipment to see if they are

jammed or leaking.

The pressure involved in hydraulic tests, air-tight tests and air pressure

tests should be 1.2 times as strong as that in normal operations.

An Introduction to the Adjustment Process of the Modern Crushing Plant

The linkage trial run in the extracting workshop

is conducted (with water instead of solvent) to

check and adjust the liquid level controller, the

automatic control of the linkage.

3. Dry-batch run adjustment

Dry batch run is used to resolve the matching

problems between different devices during the

delivery process, identify the load operation,

speed of operation; make sure the connection

drop, angle and direction, material level

indicating devices and linkage devices are right.

Check the internal structure of the extractor;

make sure the flexibility and level degree of

the caterpillar false bottom, chains, rotary

wheel, cell and the track; to check the strainer

of the rotary chains of the extractor to see if it

is balanced and flexible, if there is grating noise

and if the corresponding working current for

normal load operation is normal.

Check the direction steam nozzles and the

number of them, the number of the scrapers,

angle of inclination and the weld strength are

of the right level. Check the angle of inclination

of the scraper, the gap between the scraper and

the floor (20-25mm), tightness of the coupling.

Make sure the automatic flow controlling door

is flexible; the feed bar is working well and the

water level indicating device and coupling bar

are working.

4. The solvent and material adding process adjustment

Main procedures involved include: start the water pump of the cooling tower, get all the

condenser circulating water running. Establish a circulation in the mineral oil absorption

system. Start the vacuum pump and adjust the vacuum of the evaporation system to the

preset value. Firstly, pump the solvent into the water knockout drum and adjust the water

level to the separation interface. Start the boiling procedure when the water gets into the

boiler. After being heated in the solvent preheater, the solvent now gets into the extractor

where it is circulated with the help of a miscella circulating pump. During the process, the

temperature should rise up to 55-58 degree Celsius. Preheat DT, and open the indirect steam

valve. When the temperature rises to 100 degree Celsius, open the direct steam valve. The

soybean gets to conditioner circulation. Now change the temperature to about 90 degree

Celsius and the discharging temperature about 65 degree Celsius. Make sure the evaporation

system goes into circulation state first.

Next to come are steps for putting the solvent into the underground solvent tank, water

knockout drum of the workshop and putting the solvent and the materials into the extractor.

Then start the extractor, DT and DC.When the oil circulation in the system and the vacuum

degree meet the requirement of the parameters, run the level-one oil circulation, raising the

temperature to 125 degree Celsius.

Heat the solvent out of the solvent tank from the workshop till it hits 60 degree Celsius,

circulate it in the extractor and keep the temperature in the extractor around 55 degree

Celsius.


Open the spindle of DT, start the indirect

steam valve (0.05MPa) and heat DT. Open

the direct steam valve of DT and start the

steam jet ejector connected to VST. Pump

the solvent from the extractor into the rich

mixed oil filter at the top of the extractor and

when the oil flows back into the extractor,

pump the solvent into the DT catcher. Check

the reject valve and the bin level sensor. Boil

the solvent that comes from the catcher.

The waste water from the water knockout

drum flows through the channel wrapped

with heating jacket and gets to the boiler for

boiling. The solvent from boiler, after being

processed by the condenser, gets into the

water knockout drum.

When the solvent gets into the extractor,

the materials can be added with a 50% of

amount. The circulating solvent is sprayed

into the spray tank, comes into contact with

the blank, infiltrates through to miscella

leaking device and gets to the spray layer via

circulating pump, collecting a liquid level of

30mm.

The materials from the extractor is delivered

to DT. Make sure the height of each layer

of the materials is control led. The DT

equipment has eight layers, each of which

is equipped with paddles to make sure the

soy meal keeps moving during desolvation.

After going through the desolvation process

by the indirect steam, the soy meal now has

0.02% of solvent; the direct steam then is

sprayed into DT from the seventh layer.

Before the soy meal enters the first layer

of DT, make sure the valves of the steam

and the condensate in the front and back

are open and the steam trap valves are in

working condition.

When the soy meal moves to the crushing

unit, it is crushed, screened and crumbled.

This being done, the soy meal is delivered

to the packing workshop for packing or

warehousing.

Start the evaporation system according to the procedure

and establish a circulation system. When the fresh solvent

pump and the miscella pump are on, and the buffer tank of

the miscella in which there is some miscella spills over to the

extractor is full, the feeder pump of the first evaporator is

started. The miscella enters falling film evaporator.

Start the hydration degumming system in accordance

with the procedure: the crude oil is delivered to the water

degumming unit (the vacuum pump should be started

beforehand so that the degree of vacuum can remain within

10kPa). All the steam valves should be on. Start the centrifuge.

Start the steam condensate pump. Start the stirrer once the

oil gets into the hydration tank.

The raw phospholipid separated is collected into the

phospholipid tank and open the valves in front of and the

rear of the raw phospholipid pump when there is enough raw

phospholipid so that the raw phospholipid can be delivered

onward to other available phospholipid drying units.

After being heated, the degumming oil enters the vacuum

drying tank. The temperature of the drying oil is between

115-118 degrees Celsius. After the exchange of heat between

the degumming oil and the crude oil and feed oil, the

degumming oil then is cooled by the oil cooler to about 50

degrees Celsius and goes to tank field.

Conduct regular examinations to the solvent gas trapping circulatory system between the cooking pots and the solvent gas pipes.“ “


Next, start the phospholipid drying system:

start the vacuum system of the phospholipid

drying unit and make sure all the air valves

are closed. Proceed when the degree of

vacuum in the system reaches 9kPa.

When the phospholipid drying unit is

ready, start the feeding process. Keep the

temperature between 115-120 degrees

Celsius by adjusting the pressure of the

steam. The phospholipid will be circulated

in the system ti l l it meets the quality

requirements. After this, start another

phospholipid dryer. The dry phospholipid

the temperature of which is lowered to 60

degrees Celsius by the tempering water

enters phospholipid collecting tank. The

degree of vacuum and the discharging

temperature should be under control so that

the quality of phospholipid meets the norm.

5 . N e c e s s a r y w o r k d u r i n g n o r m a l

operation

Firstly, keep all the original records and keep

regular records of the temperatures of the

devices, flow rates, degrees of vacuum etc.

Check the solvent content of the soy meal

regularly to keep the loss of the solvent low

and the solvent content of the exhaust air.

Take samples of the soy meal and the crude

oil regularly. The analytic results will serve as

very important reference for the adjustment

of the operating parameters. Examine the

pumps to troubleshoot possible leakage. If

possible, fasten the leaking points when the

machine is on or off.

Th e wa s te wate r o f t h e co o k i n g p o t

should be discharged regularly to the oil

separation tank through the pipelines. The

emptying valve should be closed when the

liquidometer on site registers decreasing

reading and when there is water flowing out.

Conduct regular examinations to the solvent

gas trapping circulatory system between the

cooking pots and the solvent gas pipes.

Examine the problematic sight glass with

light and other lighting and switch off the

power before replacing the broken-down

lights.

The bearings and the stuffing box should be

smeared with lubricant in time according

to the operating requirements and the

maintenance manual.

The maintenance work of the devices and

equipment, such as the pumps, fans, crushing

rolls, extruders, gear boxes, motors and so

forth should be conducted according to the

manuals of the their suppliers.

It is advised not to begin the repairing work

when the equipment or devices are working.

It is better to keep all the problems on

record and repair the equipment when the

operation is over.


Focus on China

Large Chinese Pig Companies to Expand Business

Large pig companies in China are about to embark on their

expansion of business against a background featuring challenges

of sustainable development of human and ecological systems,

the conservation of water resources, the recycling of piggery waste, the

introduction of professionals in pig industry, technological innovation

and brand building.

（

After several years' scale development, the pig industry in China has

come to the crunch. The Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Republic

of China has been promoting the construction of the standardized

demonstration farms for five years, and now the focus has been switched

to household farms. In the meantime, however, with the big picture in

mind, some of the large companies, such as CP Group, COFCO, WENS

Group etc. are investing enormous amounts of money into the whole

industry chain projects.

With the promulgation of regulations on the treatment of piggery

waste, some of the small farms are forced to close down. Given such a

background, how will these industry participants—the demonstration

farms, household farms, farms about to go out of business and those

farms invested by those giant companies —will fare in the future and

what challenges will they face?

is still a long way to go before the

realization of the objective by Ministry of

Agriculture that by 2015, the percentage

of farms with a pig population of over 500

shall reach 50%.

Large-scale farming, a long way to go

According to the results of National Bureau

of Statistics of China, in the past 30 years,

the annual pig population has grown from

238 million in 1985 to 735 million in 2014,

climbing over 300%, which means that the

number has doubled in every ten years.

There is no doubt that the national scale

of pig production has been in the leading

position in the world for many years, but

up to now the concrete data on China's

large-scale pig production have yet to be

published.

T h e d a t a r e l e a s e d b y C h i n a A n i m a l

Agriculture Association show that compared

with 2012, the farms/ households with a

pig population of over 500 accounted for

40.8%, in 2013, up 2.3%. Provided with such

numbers, it seems that there is still a long

way to go before the realization of the

objective by Ministry of Agriculture that by

2015, the percentage of farms with a pig

population of over 500 shall reach 50%.

To put it into perspective, large-scale pig

breeding has not offered satisfactory results,

which can be corroborated by the following

numbers:

• So far the number of pig farms in China has

amounted up to 67.137 million, 50% of which

are those with a scale of over 100, while in the

United States the total number of pig farms

is 70.1 thousand, 60% of which have a pig

population of over 5000.

• In 2010, the percentage of farms with an

annual output of over 500 was 35%; farms

with an output of 50 thousand pigs reached

around one percent, while in the EU in the

same year, among the 27 member countries

the number of pig farms with an output of

over 1000 pigs ran up to 73.3% of the total:

95.6% for Denmark, 90.5% for Italy with the

Netherlands, The UK, Spain and Portugal each

having a percentage above 80%.

The layout of China’s large pig companies

Ta b l e 1 l i s t s t h e to p te n C h i n e s e p i g

companies that have been investing heavily in

the industry, three of them being husbandry

giants, four slaughtering companies and

three listed pig farming companies. Despite

the incomprehensiveness of the information


released about the actual progress of these ten enterprises by the end of 2014, it can at least be roughly

figured out the foothold these companies have made in pig industry.

According to table 1, in 2014 WENS Group was expected to produce 12 million pigs, accounting 1.6% of

the national pig production whereas COFCO and CP Group fell short of such an output; Shuanghui Group

reached an output of 17 million pigs, accounting for around 2.3% of the national pig production. In addition,

the production of True In Group, Muyuan Food Co., Ltd and Zhengbang Group was 0.29%, 0.25%, 0.20%

respectively.

From Table 1, a rough guess can be made that in about five years, there would be at leat four pig companies

falling into the ten-million-production category and four others into ones with twenty million pigs.

Table 1 The expansion of China’s top ten pig companies

Source: from official websites of the related companies and media and integrated by Pig international China, for reference only


By 2020, the pig industry in China may witness the rise of top

four pig farming companies and top four pig slaughtering

companies. The companies with annual output of 50 million

and those with an annual slaughter of 80 million account 6%

and 10% of national pig production respectively. According

to the related data, the top four pork processing companies in

the United States account for more than 50% of the national

processing capacity, while the top three companies in the

Netherlands reach 74% and the largest pork processing

companies in Denmark account for 80% of the national

capacity.

Since the implementation of the Ordinances of Livestock

Scale Breeding Pollution Prevention in January 2014, many

provinces in China have carried out measures to reform or

close some pig farms. Take Zhejiang Province for example, the

province planned to close 50 thousand pig farms and reduce

the population of pigs by 4.2 million in 2014, accounting about

30% of Zhejiang Province’s year-end pig population in 2012.

If other regions in China would follow with such a percentage,

the total pig population in China would be reduced by 130

million. If there were 100 head of pigs in every household,

there would be 1.3 million pig farms, or 4% of the total farms/

households going out of business.

But actual numbers will be bigger. Among all the pig farms

in China, there are 40% of them whose pig population falls

to into the below-one-hundred category, therefore, in a long

time to come, there will be more farms to go out of business.

As the household farmers are moving out, the large animal

husbandry companies are moving in, with large amounts of

investment to expand the pig breeding chain. The expansion

mainly concentrates in provinces as follows: Jilin, Hubei,

Henan, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Shaanxi, Gansu,

and Inner Mongolia.

The majority of the projects will be built in stages, their

investment plans having been established between 2012 and

2014. According to table 1, in the next five years, WENS Group,

COFCO, CP Group and Zhengbang Group will construct pig

farms with a capacity of 15 million, 18 million, 10 million and

10 million head respectively, bringing the total investment

fund above 50 billion yuan and another 53 million head of

pigs to be added. If every single farm constructed has a pig

population of 500 head, it means that there will be about 100

thousand households joining in.


Unlike the picture in China, the whole pig industry chain

in Denmark consists of more than a few companies. For

example, in Denmark, a few pig farms can invest in one

feed facility or an animal innocuous treatment center; a

few fattening farms can invest in one slaughter house

and a few slaughter houses can invest in one point-of-

sale terminal. In this case, the whole industry chain can

be integrated well and there are professionals in charge

of each section. In China, however, both the upstream

chain and the downstream chain are supervised by one

company, leaving little room for professionalism which in

turn poses greater danger for pig production.

Admittedly, high-profile investment in the whole

industry chain by large pig companies will benefit the

scale development of pig industry, delivering industrial

returns. But one issue remains to be solved: individual

farmers should at least be upgraded to family-run farms

to facilitate the layout of the large pig companies, because

those family-run pig farms ensure more effective industrial

production process and meticulous farming management.

In the United States, farming is dominated by family

farms which possess the advantage of scale operation,

professionalism and diverse organization forms. As for

professionalism, in countries with advanced pig industries,

such as Denmark, pig farm staff should undergo three to

five years' professional training before they can start their

work in pig industry.

Challenges of a sustainable ecosystem, the conservation

of water resources, the recycling of piggery waste on

the farms, the welfare of the pigs, the reduction of

antibiotics, the joint breeding mode between China and

other countries supposed to pull China's pig industry out

of the vicious cycle of "introduction—reproduction—

degeneration—reintroduction”, biosecurity and the

improvement of veterinary systems etc. will remain as high

priorities on the agenda of not only the government but

also the large pig companies which plan to follow a path for

expansion. But this is not the end of the story. The new pig

farms should also accommodate the absorptive capacity

of the shrinking land; pig farms also need strategic plans

for the introduction and development of cutting-edge

recycling technology and equipment and they also need

to train the staff to ensure better production.


The Study Tour of Santeh Corp. to FAMSUN Reached a

Successful Conclusion

Special

One of the regular customer of FAMSUN—Santeh Corp.—visited FAMSUN for the study tour organized by the Business

School of FAMSUN in partnership with related departments. The Santeh group which consisted of 8 people stayed from April

22—23 for various training.

Starting from 1996, Santeh Corp. has been enjoying the partnership with FAMSUN. In 2009, Santeh Corp. purchased from

FAMSUN a MY120X2 Twin-Screw Extruder system, a 130D Ultra-Fine Pulverizer system; in 2014, a MY215 Extruder system as

well as a rough pulverizer, and a paddle ribbon mixer. With an averaged annual purchase worth around US$ 200 thousand,

Santeh Corp. plans to renew the cooperation with FAMSUN.

To furnish the customer with satisfactory service, everything ranging from inviting lecturers, preparing and evaluating and

printing teaching materials, site interpretation were all taken into careful consideration.


On the morning April 22, Mr. Liu Changquan from the service

center gave a lecture on the issues arising during production. All

the question concerning the use of the extruder and ultra-fine

pulverizer were answered by Mr. Liu. As requested by the visiting

group, Wang Lei of Pet Food Engineering Company, Diao Guoyu

of engineering technology center, Gao Jian of Hybrid system

Group of the Research Institute and Li Lusheng of FAMSUN Weimei

Automation Control Co., Ltd. shared respectively details about the

technological process for pet feed, aquatic products, knowledge of

vacuum spraying and the automatic batching system.

The next day, Maliang of the Extruding System Group of the

Research Institute, Zhaobo of the Crumbling System Group and

Li Qingkai of the Pelleting System Group provided respectively

introductions of the extruding technologies for aquatic products

and their application, SWFL130G Vertical Ultra-Fine Pulverizer and

pellet mill for shrimp feed.


Training and Practice Combined to Help

FPD Team

In order to enhance the timeliness rate and accuracy rate of the engineering design delivery, reduce the cost and the

quality losses of project, and encourage the standardization and normalization of design, Business College in alliance

with the Engineering Center of Feed engineering product line in March. They trained feed engineering designers
