Research On Cost Control Of Live Pigs

China consumes about 60 million tons of pork every year,accounting for 50% of the world’s pork consumption.Pork is related to the people’s livelihood in China and the stability and development of the market economy in China.For a long time,the pork market price in China has been fluctuating,especially in recent years,influenced by the African swine fever epidemic and the global COVID-19 epidemic,the pork market price in China has fluctuated more violently.The task of maintaining the stability of pork prices and the steady and healthy development of pork production is imminent.Cost factors are an important factor affecting the fluctuation of pork prices,and studying the impact of cost factors on pork prices,manage the cost of raising pigs is the basis for stabilizing pork market prices.As a major pork producing and consuming province in China,Shandong Province has a large sample size and strong representativeness,which can not only fully reflect the entire pig industry chain,but also include pig farmers of different scales.This paper uses Shandong Province as a case sample for research,which can get rid of the limitation of a single enterprise or district as a research sample to the greatest extent,and scientifically and completely reflect the mechanism of cost factors on pork prices.This paper selects Shandong Province as the sample for case investigation,takes pig price as the case study object,and focuses on the cost composition and cost influencing factors of pork price in Shandong Province,a major pig producing province,including feed cost,piglet cost,epidemic prevention cost,and multiplying sow price.By analyzing the development status of pork industry in Shandong Province,the case method and investigation method are used to list and analyze the importance of the impact of cost factors such as feed cost,piglet cost,epidemic prevention cost,and breeding sow price on pork price that affects pork price fluctuations.By analyzing the fluctuation of pig cost factors in Shandong Province,this study aims to investigate the relationship between the fluctuation of pork prices and various cost factors in Shandong Province.Use empirical research methods to conduct comparative analysis on the research results obtained in the previous section,and analyze the mechanism of cost factors affecting the fluctuation of pork prices in Shandong Province.By comparing and analyzing the cost factors of pig farming in Shandong Province,we identify the shortcomings in controlling the cost factors of pig farming in Shandong Province and propose strategies for cost control and management of pig farming in Shandong Province.Finally,five policy recommendations were proposed to strengthen the cost management of pig farming in Shandong Province and stabilize the pork price in Shandong Province: stabilizing the cost of pig feed;Stabilize the cost of pig epidemic prevention;Subsidy policies for breeding sows through scientific development;Promote the popularization of insurance in the pig industry;Establish a joint warning mechanism for pig cost information.
