In light of the recent well-controlled domestic avian influenza situation, the domestic chicken farming and egg production in the country have remained stable. The Ministry of Agriculture is aiming to ensure the stable supply of eggs by importing more egg-laying hens, investing approximately 10.5 billion yuan over three years to improve poultry house equipment, and accelerating the elimination of low-productivity hens. As a result, egg production has remained steady with good quality, priced at 27.5 yuan per catty since June 11th this year, comparable to pre-pandemic prices. The Ministry plans to assist in the monthly elimination of 500,000 low-productivity hens for two months and enhance the slaughtering capacity to speed up their elimination.
