On March 5, 2025, the 7th China Family Farm Development Seminar was held in Yuncheng, Shanxi Province. This conference continued the core theme of "efficient, sustainable and weaning cost 260" last year, and continued to focus on the precise goal of "weaning cost 260 yuan". In the context of the continuous compression of profit margins in the pig breeding industry, how to reduce the weaning cost of family farms to 260 yuan through systematic innovation has become the core topic throughout the meeting. The meeting was chaired by Zheng Ruihua, Director of Operations of Changrong.

Family Farm Development in China

Yao Jun, Chairman of Changrong, analyzed the opportunities and challenges faced by the current development of family farms with the introduction of "The Development of Family Farms in China", emphasizing that the future of family farms must be "cost is king". It is necessary to adhere to ecological and systematic operation, and at the same time promote the efficient integration of industrial and supply chains. Changrong Family Farm focuses on the key data breakthroughs of "weaning cost of 260 yuan" and "slaughter cost of 5.5 yuan", relying on the promotion of the three major models of family farms, sequoia projects and enterprise farms, to build a full-chain solution from technology empowerment to industrial chain synergy, helping family farms achieve cost reduction, efficiency increase and sustainable development, and reshaping the benchmark path of China's agricultural fine management.

$5 cost leadership

Quan Taiyong, managing director of Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health's China pig feed business, put forward the concept of "5 yuan cost leadership". In the current situation, family farms can only challenge lower costs if they want to survive and develop in the future. Only with the three elements of good variety, good nutrition and good management can it be possible to challenge higher performance and lower cost. As Cargill's newly upgraded solution for safety, precision and efficiency, 5 yuan cost leadership helps family farms formulate exclusive PSY improvement plans through five core starting points: precision nutrition, precision management, health management, pig alliance and empowerment training, helping customers challenge the cost of 5 yuan and achieve efficiency improvement and cost reduction.

Data management empowers family farms

Yang Xinwei, Data Service Manager of Cargill Farms, gave a presentation titled "Data Management Helps the Development of Family Farms", showing how big data can help farms reduce costs. With the analysis of tens of thousands of excellent pig farms around the world and real-time indicator monitoring, the formation of a massive database, combined with the real-time accurate benchmarking of pig farm production efficiency, remote value diagnosis of pig farms, pig farm software management, pig farm lean production training and pig farm lean transformation service five-layer service system, to help pig farm production performance continue to improve steadily, and finally achieve a weaning cost of 260 yuan.

Do a good job in the key management of sows with business philosophy

He Xianping, Technical Service Manager of Cargill Animal Nutrition China's Strategic Key Account Farm, shared the biosecurity decontamination management and sow breeding management strategies in "Doing a Good Job in the Key Management of Sows with Business Philosophy", "All management methods to increase efficiency and reduce costs are based on the foundation, and the continuous application of basic management operations is the key to improving sow performance. He said that there are no shortcuts to sow management, and that only by forward-looking management of animal health and biosecurity, and a continuous focus on basic pig management operations, can family farms truly achieve weaning costs260.

Hypor Pig Performance and Family Farm Services

Yang Zejun, Technical Service Manager at Changrong, further introduced the performance of Hypor breeding pigs and the case study of family farm services. Changrong Hypor breeding pigs have a hardcore performance of PSY30, an average birth weight of ≥1.5kg, and an effective teat count of ≥8, laying the cornerstone for cost reduction. Changrong's value chain service system refines the cost to each breeding link through five elements: provenance and nutrition, environment and farm design, health and biosecurity, data and informatization, and education and training. The two worked together to systematically reduce the weaning cost to 260 yuan/head.

Interactive discussion session

The conference specially set up a discussion session on "how to develop benignly and make sustainable profits on family farms", and the guests at the meeting had a warm exchange on topics such as the stress strategy of pregnant sows, the combination of double yin pigs, and the feeding management of pregnant sows, injecting new ideas into the high-quality development of the industry.

Weaning Cost 260 Model Composition (Calculated Based on Changrong Family Farm Data)

From "experience farming" to "data farming", from "single-point cost reduction" to "system breakthrough", the 7th China Family Farm Development Seminar pointed out a way of survival for the development of family farms with a hard-core "system lesson". When 260 yuan has changed from a slogan to a ruler, this cost battle may redefine the competitiveness of China's pig industry.
