In 2008 China macro-economy dramatically influenced livestock product consumption, causing a great change in livestock breeding industry, even slaughtering sow, cow and layer in partial areas. And famous producers are severely affected by Melamine Scandal which also influenced the whole chain.
The Government continuously strengthens breeding industry in policy level, including subsidy for breeding sow and insurance for raising hog in partial areas; support for cow farming; subsidy for breeder layer zones. However, the government takes no nationwide supportive measures on meat-orientated cattle and sheep breeding, although which kept a low inventory. The economic plans issued in the end of this year are aimed to accelerate animal epidemic prevention system and official veterinary system.
Private farmers are eliminated in current market operation model and large-scale breeding houses keep expanding. More breeding cooperation emerged in local regions. Famous feedstuff producers and slaughtering companies entered this industry with foreign investment, so it is expected that about 20 super integrating enterprises will appear in China in the coming 3-4 years.
