Is Raising Chickens Profitable in 2015? Analysis of Chicken Farming Profit Prospects

The key to the market development of the chicken farming industry and even the entire poultry industry in 2015 lies in whether the flu epidemic can be controlled. Avian influenza has been too rampant recently, and disease outbreaks have been happening too frequently! If you want to do well in the broiler market, you must ensure proper immunization, implement good isolation measures, and prevent all possible sudden outbreaks. You should be able to make a profit in the second half of the year.

Actually, for ordinary citizens, avian influenza will not completely affect their lives. If they do not eat chicken, they can replace it with other meats. However, for farmers, such a blow is devastating.

The past year was the most difficult year for the poultry industry. In the first half of the year, before the shadow of fast-growth chickens had dissipated, influenza followed close behind, and to this day it still “lingers like a ghost,” greatly damaging the vitality of the entire poultry industry. The industry was trapped by “poultry” all year long, with chick and broiler prices falling sharply and enterprises suffering successive losses. According to statistics from the China Animal Agriculture Association, the H7N9 influenza outbreak in April caused more than 60 billion yuan in losses to the entire poultry industry in just the first half of the year.
