Reduce the cost of pig feed by 6-45 yuan per ton!The world's first raw material testing and feed formula service platform of Shuying Zhujia ®
As pig breeding enters the era of 7 yuan cost competition, precision nutrition has become the focus of major enterprises to control costs. On April 18, Cargill Animal Nutrition launched the world's first "Digital Win Specialist" raw material testing and feed formulation service platform, empowering the majority of feed production and animal breeding practitioners in China, and helping customers achieve better raw materials, more accurate nutrition and more efficient production.

Cargill set up a special exhibition area at the ® site to showcase its intelligent services and advanced technologies to the industry in various forms. The team of technical experts provided customers with personalized nutrition solutions and answered various technical questions, and the atmosphere was warm.
From 2023 to April this year, the average price of live pigs slaughtered in the country was only 3 months higher than 8 yuan/catty, and the whole industry continued to suffer deep losses. At the same time, the effect of the industry's capacity reduction has not yet been highlighted, and the pace of "increasing the volume" of the head enterprises has never stopped.
According to the new pig pie survey, the number of pigs slaughtered by leading enterprises will continue to increase in 2024. The TOP35 pig enterprises target to slaughter 247-254 million heads in 2024, an increase of 27 million-34 million heads from 220 million heads in 2023, and an expected increase of 12%-16%.
The continued high production capacity and the terminal consumer demand that has not yet fully recovered have further intensified the competition in the industry. Only by achieving cost leadership can we ensure the stable survival and healthy development of enterprises.
According to the data of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, from January to March, the average price of live pigs in the country hovered around 7.5 yuan/catty. It is expected that the average price in 2024 will be around 8 yuan/catty. In the era of low profits, pig enterprises want to make a profit, the cost needs to be controlled within 7.5 yuan/catty, and only by reducing the cost to 7 yuan/catty can we ensure profitability and create a relatively stable cost advantage.
The industry has inevitably rushed to the era of 7 yuan cost.
Provenance, feed and management are the "three axes" of current cost control of pig enterprises. Among them, the cost of feed accounts for about 70% of the cost of livestock and poultry feeding, and the cost of raw materials accounts for about 80%-85% of the cost of feed. Under the situation of frequent fluctuations in raw material prices, it is the key link for breeding enterprises to reduce costs and stabilize product quality through reasonable selection of raw materials and optimization of formula structure.
Cargill's ® world-first "5-minute testing + 15-minute formula" one-stop service, how to quickly and accurately select the most cost-effective raw materials, and adopt more accurate feed formulas to achieve "efficiency increase" and "cost reduction" is an important starting point for current enterprises to achieve precision nutrition in breeding. To this end, Cargill Animal Nutrition recently launched the world's first Win Specialized Raw ® Material Testing and Feed Formula Service Platform, empowering the majority of feed production and animal breeding practitioners in China, helping customers achieve better raw material selection, more accurate nutrition, and more efficient production.
In terms of raw material testing, DataWin Specialized can ® realize diversified raw material testing methods to meet the raw material testing needs of personnel in different positions such as raw material procurement, quality control, and formulators. Among them, the fourth-generation intelligent cloud networking mobile NIR can realize raw material testing anytime and anywhere, and form a test report within 5 minutes, making raw material testing more convenient. The test data relies on Cargill's AutoCalcR raw material accurate nutritional value estimation software for in-depth nutritional analysis, extracts more potential profits and overlooked raw material values, and forms an ingredient report that can be adapted to almost all mainstream formulation software on the market.
In terms of precision feed formulation, after 38 years of continuous data accumulation and R&D iterations, Cargill has built a nutritional system that includes pigs, ruminants, poultry and other livestock at different growth stages. On the basis of in-depth nutritional analysis of raw materials, with Cargill's three major formulation software systems, Bills TM, Max TM and Brill TM, the formula is truly designed according to the actual nutritional needs of animals.
In addition to helping customers understand the true value of raw materials and form more efficient accurate formulas through rapid testing, Shuying Specialist also ® provides enterprises with one-stop digital production services such as digital ability training for formulators and factory automation upgrades.
According to reports, since the development of the first data service customer in China in 2017, Cargill's ® service scope has covered more than 100 feed companies and more than 2 million pigs in China. Judging from the existing use effect, under the premise of ensuring the performance of breeding production, "Digital Win Specialist" can reduce the production cost of poultry feed by 7-30 yuan/ton and the production cost of pig feed (full-price feed) by 6-45 yuan/ton only from the aspect of formula optimization. According to rough estimates, the number of ® wins can reduce the cost of pig meat by 0.12 yuan/kg or more.

With the continuous improvement of industrial scale and the rapid rise of industry leaders, relying on big data to achieve precision breeding has become a new trend in the development of the industry. In the era of digital and intelligent farming, Cargill's precise service is inseparable from the strong data and service team behind it.
It is reported that since its establishment in 1865, Cargill's business has spread to 70 countries and regions around the world. Based on the advantages of its global business layout, Cargill uploads more than 3 million raw material testing data to Cargill's cloud database every year. Cargill's AutoCalcR Ingredient Estimation software contains over 130,000 formulas to help users understand the true value of raw materials more quickly and accurately.
In addition to combining the technical practices of many countries around the world, Cargill has been deeply involved in the Chinese market for more than 50 years, and has also accumulated a lot of localized service experience, and has established a team of more than 100 feed digital intelligence service experts.
"At present, the application scope of Cargill's feed formula software has covered nearly 70% of the country's head breeding groups, and it has a wide user base. Adam Wang, chief expert of Cargill Animal Nutrition and Digital Services, said that whether it is an integrated leading enterprise or a medium-sized farm or feed farm, Digital Win Jiajia ® can bring users a high-quality data service experience through its personalized application.
It is reported that this year's version of "Digital Win Specialist 2.0" will be upgraded again, and the online NIR system will be used to achieve real-time detection and formula adjustment, so that feed quality is more stable and nutrition control is more accurate.
Wang Adam said that Cargill hopes to help China's pig industry accelerate its production performance and enter the fast lane of "PSY+1" development of pig farms every year with a series of data service systems such as "Digital Win Professional" and "Digital Gathering Professional" (pig farm's sister production and operation management software).
