[Summary of China's broiler industry]
**Industry status**: China’s broiler industry is developing rapidly. In 2024, the output of broilers will reach 14.842 billion (white-feathered broilers account for 9.031 billion), and the scale breeding rate will exceed 90%, becoming the core force to ensure food security and high-quality protein supply. However, the industry chain faces the contradictions of high feed costs (accounting for 70%+ of breeding costs), upgrading of consumer demand and sluggish market profits, and urgently needs to reconstruct productivity through innovation.
**Technical breakthrough direction**:
1. **Intestinal health and microbial nutrition**
- Professor Yuming of China Agricultural University pointed out that the diversity of chicken intestinal flora directly affects health and production performance, and probiotics (such as Bacillus Velez) can significantly improve intestinal function, enhance immunity and promote growth.
- Nutritional management needs to pay attention to the effects of age, feed formula and feeding method on the microbiome.
2. **Precision Nutrition Management**
- Dr. Peter, an expert from Aviagen, emphasized that broiler breeders need to balance genetic potential and nutritional supply. He suggested optimizing feed consistency, adjusting weight targets (such as appropriate weight gain after 8 weeks), and improving satiety and reducing mortality through feed dilution technology.
- Non-essential amino acids (NEAA) are essential for feather and bone development, and research on amino acid utilization efficiency needs to be deepened.
3. **Net Energy System Innovation**
- The traditional metabolic energy system gradually transitions to the net energy system (such as the practice of Thailand’s Charoen Pokphand Group), and nutritional efficiency is improved through more accurate feed energy assessment.
4. **Scaled Farming Management**
- Wang Fengming proposed that intensive farming needs to strengthen environmental control (temperature, humidity, ventilation) to ensure the health of the flock and production stability.
**Future Trends**:
- **Digital Technology Driven**: Use intelligent monitoring systems to manage flock health and environmental parameters in real time.
- **Reduce Antibiotics and Increase Efficiency**: Develop new nutritional additives (such as probiotics, functional amino acids), reduce antibiotic dependence, and focus on intestinal-immune-microbial synergistic health.
- **Supply and demand collaborative innovation**: Combined with the consumer demand for diversified high-quality products, promote the upgrading of the industrial chain towards high added value and high efficiency.
**Core inspiration**: China’s broiler industry needs to use technology as an engine, integrate precise nutrition, microbial regulation and digital management, solve the contradiction between cost and demand, and build a sustainable new quality productivity system.
