(AMI) - After the pigmeat has often been in the red for years, the current development is coming in handy. On the one hand, both the costs for the purchase of piglets and for animal feed are decreasing. At the same time, on the other hand, proceeds for slaughter pigs are rising. Accordingly, an economic and profitable pig fattening in August is possible. According to the model of the Agricultural Market Information Society (AMI), a profit of 14.30 EUR / pig can be achieved in August of this year. Compared to the previous month, the full costs for the mast up to the slaughter weight have fallen by 6.00 EUR. Of the total expenditure, feed costs alone currently account for 48%. For the coming months, the revenue situation is likely to develop friendly from the perspective of the pigmine and to enable economic work in this branch of business. At the same time, the costs of housing the manure and cleaning the exhaust air are not taken into account in this nationwide model calculation. In regions with intensive refinement, these additionally burden the profitability with a total of 17 EUR / pig.Cost-effective work is correspondingly more difficult in the corresponding areas. The relatively high prices can be explained primarily by the small and often scarce supply. So far, the slaughter rates in the pigs this year are below the previous year's figures every month. In July, even 8.3% fewer pigs were slaughtered than 12 months ago. With 27.25 million pigs, the number of slaughtered animals in the first half of the year fell below the value of 2018 by 4.3%.
ZMP Live Expert Opinion
Due to the reduced number of pigs, a small amount of pigs is expected for further development this year. Accordingly, prices should continue to be above the level of the previous year. By October at the latest, there is still pressure, even if it is unlikely that there will be a large supply.
