China's live hog futures fell from about 12,357 yuan in August 2026 to about 9,348 yuan in early November, a drop of over 20% in three months. Tylosin tartrate averaged 221 yuan per kg on 4 November, down 1.78% on the day and at a new low for the year, and the veterinary raw material price index fell 0.28% to 64.87.
Weak hog margins are cutting farmers' spending on animal health products, which lowers demand for veterinary drug inputs. This signals softer demand for livestock feed and medicine ingredients, with weak hog prices pointing to reduced livestock feed demand in China.
