Additionally, in December 2025, 22 listed pig farming enterprises (including Mu Yuan, Wen's, New Hope, etc.) collectively sold 20.78 million pigs, with most showing year-on-year and month-on-month growth.

Shanxi Securities pointed out that the feed industry's景气度 is bottoming out and recovering, with upstream raw material prices at cyclical lows and downstream breeding showing structural repair. The pig farming industry has re-entered a loss-making zone, with both market forces and policy adjustments accelerating capacity reduction. The inventory of breeding sows is declining at an accelerated pace, suggesting potential recovery for both industry fundamentals and valuations. This week, hog prices rose sequentially, narrowing farming losses. The pet food industry demonstrates prominent growth, with competition shifting from heavy marketing to a focus on R&D and supply chain.

From a valuation perspective, the agriculture, livestock, and fisheries sector remains at relatively low levels, potentially presenting a favorable配置时机.
