1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The spot market this week will continue the pattern of strong supply and weak demand, but the live inventory is expected to enter the destocking phase. The theoretical supply in March is at a high level both year - on - year and month - on - month, and the consumption is in the seasonal off - season, so the spot price is expected to remain under pressure. The breeding side is in deep loss with tight cash flow, increasing the sales enthusiasm. With the requirement to reduce the sales weight, the live inventory may decline. From the trend of new piglet data, the theoretical slaughter volume in the second quarter will decline to some extent, and factors for the spot price to stabilize and rebound may be accumulating [7]. - In the futures market, one can consider selling out - of - the - money call options of near - month contracts, including selling deep out - of - the - money call options of LH2605 and LH2607 contracts. For the unilateral strategy, short the near - month contracts on rallies; for the inter - month strategy, stay on the sidelines in the short term [7]. 3.

The存栏 of reproductive sows in the steel - union sample in February was 5.1873 million, a slight month - on - month decline. The number of healthy piglets per litter and the fattening survival rate were stable [4]. - **Supply**: The存栏 of commercial pigs in February was 38.8971 million, a month - on - month increase of 678,100. The theoretical supply pressure in the first quarter continued to increase, suppressing the sharp rebound of spot prices. The theoretical slaughter volume in March was at a high level, and from April, it is expected to decline slightly month - on - month [4]. - **Demand**: The daily slaughter volume this week was 132,951, a week - on - week increase of 9.5%.

The存栏 data of reproductive sows from three - party institutions increased month - on - month in January 2026 [18]. - **Sow Culling Volume**: The sow culling volume decreased month - on - month in January, which may be related to the sharp rise in spot prices in January [20]. - **Farrowing Efficiency**: The PSY of 16 listed pig enterprises has been increasing year by year.
