In 2019, affected by the decline in pig production capacity and changes in the international trade situation, the national industrial feed production and output declined, the product structure adjustment accelerated, the feed additive products grew steadily, and the operation of large enterprises was generally improving. stable. Feed grade L-carnitine is widely used in pig feed. L-carnitine  Feed-grade can effectively improve the taste and quality of pork.

    1. Gross output value of feed industry

    The total output value of the national feed industry was 808.81 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 9.0%. Realized operating income of 778 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 10.5%. Among them, the total output value of feed products was 709.77 billion yuan, and the operating income was 685.85 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 9.8% and 11.5% respectively. The output value of feed additive products was 83.93 billion yuan, and the operating income was 76.34 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 12.4% and 13.4% respectively. The output value was 4.78 billion yuan, and the operating income was 6.05 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 19.3% and 1.4% respectively. The output value of pet feed products is 10.33 billion yuan, and the operating income is 9.76 billion yuan. The rapid development of the feed industry has effectively driven the growth of L-carnitine feed-grade .

 2. Total output of industrial feed

    The total output of industrial feed nationwide was 22,885,400 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 3.7%. Among them, compound feed was 21.138 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 3.0%; concentrated feed was 12.424 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 12.4%. The additive premix feed was 5.426 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 10.6%. In terms of species, pig feed was 76.632 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 26.6%. Among them, the feed of piglets, sows and finishing pigs was reduced by 39.2%, 24.5% and 15.9%, respectively. Egg and poultry feed was 31.116 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 9.6%. Feed for laying hens increased by 27.2% and 1.8% respectively; feed for meat and poultry was 84.648 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 21.0%, of which feed for meat ducks increased by 17.9% and 25.2% respectively. The output of ruminant feed was 11.089 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 9.0%, of which feed for beef cattle, dairy cattle and sheep increased by 32.5%, 0.8% and 7.8% respectively. The output of pet feed was 871,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 10.8%; aquatic feed was 22.029 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 0.3%; other feeds were 2.419 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 29.5%. In the total feed output, the proportion of pig feed dropped from 43.9% in the previous year to 33.5%, and the proportion of poultry meat rose from 41.4% in the previous year to 50.6%.

    3. Output of feed additives

The national output of feed additives was 11.992 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 8.2%. Among them, the direct preparation of feed additives was 11.302 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 7.6%. The output of mixed feed additives was 690,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 20.0%. The output of amino acids, vitamins and minerals was 3.3 million tons, 1.27 million tons and 5.9 million tons, respectively, representing an increase of 10.5%, 14.7% and 4.1% year-on-year. The output of enzyme preparations and microbial preparations continued to grow rapidly, increasing by 16.6% and 19.3% year-on-year respectively.

    4. Intensive farming

    There were 621 feed production plants with more than 100,000 tons in the country, a decrease of 35 compared with the previous year; the output of feed was 106,559,700 tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.7%, accounting for 46.6% of the country's total feed output, an increase of 3.3 percentage points over the previous year. There are 7 production plants in the country with an annual output of more than 500,000 tons, one less than the previous year. The maximum output of a single factory is 1.107 million tons. There are 31 feed enterprise groups with an annual output of more than 1 million tons, accounting for 50.5% of the country's total feed output, of which 3 are enterprise groups with an annual output of more than 10 million tons. Due to consumption upgrades, customers have higher requirements for the taste, meat quality, and fineness of pork. Because  L-carnitine feed-grade is also called vitamin BT, it can promote the oxidation of long-chain fatty acids in the body, provide energy, and protect the heart. It is healthy, anti-aging, enhances immunity, and improves sperm quality, so feed-grade L-carnitine is widely used in animal feed.

    5. Regional layout changes

    There are 9 provinces in the country with feed production exceeding 10 million tons, 2 less than the previous year. According to the output order, they are Shandong, Guangdong, Guangxi, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Hebei, Hubei, Sichuan and Hunan. Among them, Shandong's output reached 37.789 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 5.9%; Guangdong's output was 29.238 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 8.3%; Shandong and Guangdong's feed industries continued to maintain a total output value of more than 100 billion yuan, 105.7 billion yuan and 100.9 billion yuan , A year-on-year decrease of 13.1% and 22.6% respectively. The output of 12 provinces across the country increased year-on-year, and the output of five western provinces including Guizhou, Yunnan, Gansu, Ningxia and Xinjiang increased by more than 20%.

    6. Business adjustment

    The number of pig feed production plants in 2019 is 5,432, a reduction of 238 boxes; the number of poultry feed production plants was 4848, an increase of 313 over the previous year; ruminant and pet feed production plants also increased by 68 and 38 respectively. The total amount of bulk feed nationwide was 44.143 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 5.4%; the proportion of total feed output was 19.3%, an increase of 1.7% over the previous year.
