Livestock and poultry industry chain sentiment picks up, breeding stocks rise broadly, presenting a good opportunity for positioning
At the end of July, prices across the livestock and poultry industry chain rose noticeably. Historical statistics show that whenever pig prices rise significantly and sustainedly, breeding stock prices climb another step higher.

At the same time, in terms of trend, the fact that a "pig price reversal" cannot be falsified before the 2015 Spring Festival also provides a safe time window for investment in the livestock and poultry chain; in terms of market cap space, some leading hog companies currently have room to rise, but the risk-reward ratio of poultry industry stocks and feed and vaccine stocks is higher. Therefore, the livestock and poultry industry chain is worth actively accumulating, and opportunities in the livestock and poultry chain will also spread to feed and veterinary drugs as well as other non-leading breeding stock targets.
