According to the survey of China Science and Technology News, 90% of farmers have not made a systematic investigation and analysis of the market before breeding, but only followed others when they heard that they could make money. Most rural farmers have not received professional training, and the knowledge of farming is mainly obtained by asking others. 70% of livestock and poultry products produced by farmers have no fixed sales channels. Lack of animal disease prevention and control technology, high animal mortality, most farmers lose money, mainly because of high animal mortality and low product prices.
Farmers' ability to guard against risks is low, and the blindness of farming is great. Therefore, farmers should establish risk awareness and know how to prevent breeding risks before planning to carry out large-scale breeding. Specifically, the methods to prevent risks generally include the following aspects:
(1) Detailed market investigation and analysis should be made before breeding, including market price, sales, breeding cost, income, etc. The investigation and analysis should be objective, and the possible impact of seasonal changes and the entry of foreign products should be fully considered. (2) Mastering scientific breeding technology is the key to successful breeding, and applying advanced breeding technology can get better benefits. You can learn technology by attending training, learning from advanced farms, reading books and watching DVDs. The knowledge you learn must be comprehensive and accurate, and you can't have a little knowledge. The knowledge learned should be combined with reality and constantly explored and summarized. (3) Properly control the scale, and the breeding scale should be adjusted at any time according to market conditions. According to the principle of economics, the bigger the scale, the greater the risk. In the absence of a good grasp of the market and technology, it is necessary to properly control the scale and avoid blindly expanding the scale. Only in this way can we effectively guard against risks. (4) Reduce the cost of breeding. The cost of breeding is mainly seedlings and feed. Conditional farmers can adopt the way of self-propagation and self-support to reduce the cost of seedlings. Self-preparation of feed can reduce feed cost, and farmers can join hands to feed seedlings, which can also reduce feed unit price and freight. Only by reducing costs can products be competitive and better resist market risks. (5) To expand sales in various ways, it is necessary to strengthen the awareness of active sales, take the initiative to find the market, and contact some sellers to develop contract farming. Signing contracts with some large companies to provide seedlings, feed and technology, farmers are responsible for feeding management, and products are purchased by the company according to the contract. This way can solve the difficulties of farmers in capital, technology and sales, bring stable income to farmers and effectively reduce the breeding risks of farmers. (6) Do a good job in disease prevention. High morbidity and mortality are important reasons for many farmers' losses. Animals should be vaccinated in strict accordance with immunization procedures and combined with local actual conditions, disinfected regularly, cleaned and hygienic, and the occurrence of animal diseases should be reduced.
