The future of feed business and live animal production in Asian and Chinese markets to year 2050.
Genfeng (Ian) Yi*1, 1Aquaculture Science & Technology Group of Beijing Dabeinong (DBN) Technology Group Co. Ltd, Beijing, China.

By 2050, the world’s population will be 9 to 10 billion people, with at least 40% from Asia. Currently, the feed production volume of Asia contributes about 40%, with Chinese production of 190 million metric tonnes (MMT). The major live animal production countries include China, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Malaysia, and Japan. China is the dominant animal producer, with live pork production about 53 MMT, aquaculture 46 MMT, egg 27 MMT, white and yellow poultry 6 MMT, and ruminant (lamb, sheep, and beef) 5 MMT. With fast economic growth and increasing revenue, urbanization, a growing middle-class population, food safety concerns, environmental pressures, and progress of science and technology, the Asian market, especially the Chinese market, faces numerous development opportunities and challenges. The major challenges for Asian feed and live animal production are as follows: (1) how to supply sufficient safe animal protein and milk to the growing demands of consumers; (2) how to run large-scale and high-input farms efficiently; (3) how to train and attract professionals for live animal production; (4) how to find financial resources for modern agribusiness; (5) how to ensure biosecurity and disease control; (6) how to deal with the conflict of the environment and increased live animal production; (7) how to control soaring feed ingredient costs and reduce overall live animal production cost; (8) how to solve international trading interests and conflicts; (9) how to upgrade and use Internet and “web of things” technology for modern agribusiness; (10) how to integrate and consolidate industry chains and face international competition; (11) molecular and disease-resistance breeding technology; (12) how to innovate and apply new science and technology; (13) organic animal production; (14) antibiotic residue issues; (15) impact of climatic change on animal and aquaculture production (Asia accounts for 90% of world aquaculture production); (16) limited water and land resources; (17) GMO and transgenic issues of plants and their effect on animal production; (18) nanotechnology; (19) bioactive substances and biotechnology application; and (20) local governmental policies and regulations. The future of live animal production must include high production efficiency, low carbon production, organic foods, and minimal production cost and maximal production profitability. Asian live animal production needs to be more environmentally friendly, health-oriented, nutritious, safe, sustainable, and affordable to consumers.
