The days of buying live poultry at the market are coming to an end. It will be basically impossible to buy freshly slaughtered live birds in the market in the future. If you really want to buy it, you may have to go to a rural farmer’s home to buy it. From now on, we will never see bloody scenes like the killing of chickens and ducks in the market again. There will be no live poultry in the market, which makes the whole market smell heavy and unhygienic.
Although there have been strong calls to cancel the live poultry market, it has never been determined when it will be cancelled. However, at a recent press conference of relevant departments, Guan leaders made it clear that the live poultry market will be phased out. It seems that the cancellation of the live poultry market this time is a certainty, but it will take some time to advance. So if the live poultry market is completely cancelled, will the breeding industry suffer as a result? I don't think so!
Canceling the live poultry market will actually have no impact on large-scale farmers. Because the poultry they raise will be slaughtered in the slaughterhouse. If they raise so many, how can they have the time and energy to slaughter and sell them themselves? The three-yellow chickens, broilers, ducks, geese, etc. that we often eat are all directly slaughtered and sold in the market. There is no such thing as traveling live and being slaughtered immediately.
The abolition of the live poultry market will affect those small-scale free-range households or self-raised households in rural areas. Since these people have a small breeding scale, they occasionally take live poultry to the market to sell, and they always slaughter them immediately. Many people are willing to buy this kind of poultry because they are fresh. But after the live poultry market is canceled in the future, there will be no such retail investors selling live poultry. If you want to buy live poultry in the future, you will definitely not be able to buy it in the market. If you want to buy it, you can only go to retail households in rural areas to buy it.
After the abolition of the live poultry market, it will inevitably have an impact on the pattern of the breeding industry, but I think this impact will definitely be positive. After the sale of live poultry is not allowed, the entire industrial chain will inevitably undergo passive upgrades, such as centralized slaughtering, cold chain distribution and other links. This could be a good thing for the entire farming industry. Because after the overall industry is upgraded, farmers can carry out large-scale breeding and slaughtering, and then circulate them, which greatly improves the efficiency of live poultry trading and thus increases profits.
In the long run, canceling the live poultry market will have some impact on the breeding industry. But in the long run, canceling the live poultry market will play a positive role in the development of the entire breeding industry.
Slaughtered live poultry does not mean that it is so fresh, nor does it mean that the taste will be better. Meat that has been intensively processed and de-acidified tastes better than fresh meat and is healthier for the body. Therefore, for poultry, there is really no need to eat freshly killed live poultry. After all, the live poultry trade cannot guarantee hygiene and is easy to transmit diseases, making it unsafe to eat.
