As the supporting industry of animal husbandry, the feed industry is still inseparable from the macroeconomic background. Wang Junxun, deputy director of the animal husbandry department of the Ministry of Agriculture, gave a set of data, which provides important data support for us to understand the new normal of the feed industry.
In terms of total feed output, industrial feed production continued to grow at a high speed in 2012, and for the first time in 2013 there was negative growth. In 2014, the total output of industrial feed in the country was 197 million tons, an increase of 2% over 2013.

In terms of industry concentration, in 2014, there were 31 feed companies (groups) with a total of more than one million tons, an increase of 6 from 2013; the output was 103.52 million tons, accounting for 52% of the country, an increase of 4 percentage points from 2013.
The data shows that the adjustment of the feed industry is continuing, and the opportunities are also obvious. We need to find opportunities in innovation.
Wang Junxun said that in order to adapt to the new normal, the feed industry must first innovate business models and seize the new opportunities brought by Internet technology; from an innovation perspective, Internet + performs more fully because feed is a service-oriented service The entire aquaculture industry, including the introduction of financial concepts and the introduction of other technical services. Secondly, the situation of scale will be more fully reflected; third, the development of the industrial chain has become an inevitable choice for large enterprise groups; fourth, the role of biotechnology is increasing.
Director Wang Zhicai of the Ministry of Agriculture's Animal Husbandry Department outlined the path of the animal husbandry and feed industry. He said that in 2014, facing the increasingly severe internal and external situation, the animal feed industry has successfully completed the task of stable development. At present, China's economic development has entered a new normal. The agricultural and rural economy is undergoing profound changes. The industry's development has encountered a series of new problems and challenges. The power of consumer demand has weakened. The era of rapid growth in numbers has passed. The pressure on resources and the environment has continued to increase. Sustained development has a long way to go, the links between the international and domestic markets are closer, and the task of improving market competitiveness by comparing quality with Taiwan is arduous.
