Recently, there has been another outbreak of bird flu in the United States, Japan and other countries, causing egg prices to soar again, according to the global network.
David Anderson, a food economist and professor of agricultural economics at Texas A&M University, said: "The reason for the sharp increase in egg prices is that highly pathogenic avian influenza has hit egg farms, resulting in chicken deaths and reduced egg production. ”
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 8 million birds in U.S. commercial poultry flocks have remained infected in the past 30 days. Two weeks ago, Maine of California, the largest egg producer in the United States, temporarily halted production and slaughtered more than 1 million chickens at one of its factories following an outbreak of bird flu.
Nan-Dirk Mulder, senior analyst at Rabobank, said: "Many countries and regions around the world, such as the United States, the European Union, Russia, South Africa, India and Nigeria, are facing the highest egg prices in history. "From Mexico to Norway to Indonesia, egg prices have also risen for a variety of reasons.
According to local media reports, the hot weather in Mexico has caused several hens to die from heat stroke. Due to the intense heat wave, the price of eggs in Mexico rose by 30% per week to 45 pesos ($2.63) per kilogram.
Overall, the disaster was further exacerbated not only by avian flu, but also by high temperatures. At present, many parts of the world are facing the highest egg prices in history, which has a significant impact on consumers and the livestock industry. Looking back at the development of the mainland, avian influenza has also brought many challenges and opportunities to the aquaculture industry.
Poultry diseases are more common, and related veterinary drug products are complete
Among the poultry diseases, the common ones are avian influenza, Newcastle disease bursal disease, branch disease, throat transmission, etc., all of which have a great impact on the chicken industry. At present, poultry diseases are gradually tending to be younger and more complicated, especially the development of egg (broiler) chicken diseases is becoming more and more complicated, once the disease occurs, it is difficult to eradicate, which greatly reduces the economic benefits.
From the perspective of the poultry pharmaceutical products market, the main products can be roughly divided into poultry drugs, poultry vaccines and poultry traditional Chinese medicine. Among them, the representative products of poultry drugs include lincomycin hydrochloride, etc., and the representative enterprises include Lukang Pharmaceutical, Qilu Animal Protection, etc. Poultry vaccines include vaccines such as chicken Newcastle disease, and representative companies include Ripu Biotech. At present, there are few products of poultry traditional Chinese medicine, mainly Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, and the representative companies include Ruipu Biotechnology.
Under the growing demand, the sales of poultry veterinary drugs continued to grow
From 2016 to 2020, the sales of poultry veterinary drugs in mainland China increased year by year. In 2016, the sales of poultry veterinary drugs in mainland China was 16.4 billion yuan, and in 2020, the sales of poultry veterinary drugs in mainland China have reached 27 billion yuan.
The "14th Five-Year Plan" proposes to further improve the level of grass-fed animal husbandry infrastructure, support the construction of disaster prevention and mitigation facilities in remote alpine pastoral areas, improve natural grasslands, and build characteristic forage bases in pastoral areas. With the continuous growth of the scale of breeding in mainland China and the improvement of the level of large-scale breeding, the market demand for poultry drugs will still maintain a low growth rate, according to the forecast of the Prospective Industry Research Institute, the market size of poultry drugs may reach 38.2 billion yuan by 2027.
Shen Jianzhong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine of China Agricultural University, suggested that the whole process should be monitored from the source of breeding, transportation, slaughtering, processing and storage, standardize rapid testing methods and product verification, evaluation and sampling, and speed up the construction of the standard system; promote the construction of third-party laboratory testing; increase investment in scientific research and carry out research on key technologies; strengthen the popularization of food safety science to help the public correctly understand veterinary drug residues.
