Recommendation not massively raise chickens
Saturday, 18.09.2010, 18:52 (GMT +7)

Dong Nai agriculture advised farmers not to massively increase the chickens at the moment when the unknown source like chicken as well as implications when supply exceeded demand later when the blue ear pig subsides.

Nearly a month of consumers have switched to chicken chicken prices in Dong Nai industrial to a record of nearly 40,000 VND / kg, more than doubled compared to earlier this year. This is an opportunity for many farms raise chickens en masse, pushing up the price of chicken breeds 14,000 per child, but it still does not like to buy.

Many large-scale chicken farms from 10,000 to 30,000 children in Trang Bom district, Unification can not continue because the company released a new supply of chicken in the same province as large Corporation, Jafa, Topmill, Dawn .. . also lack the seed, only a small supply drops. Some farms in Trang Bom district has contacted the same chicken farm in the North buy seed for 14,000 VND per child that does not require any additional conditions but also by appointment only a few weeks after moving into new varieties.

In 2003, when bird flu broke out in several places in the province, there were no little chicken farmers give up, focusing on raising pigs because pig prices. But only a time when supply exceeded demand, pork prices fell again, making farmers heavy losses.

Although Dong Nai province is cattle and poultry largest with about 1.4 million pigs and chickens 8 million, of which about 50% of offline forms ttheo fed farms, but if animal does not cooperate with each other, raising the spontaneous form, thanks to the luck of the market, they often suffer losses when volatility, especially when the outbreak of epidemics.
