According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the FAO Meat Price Index reached 131.0 points in June 2026, up 4.0 percent from a year earlier and reaching a new record level. Higher international poultry and sheep meat prices were major contributors, while pig and cattle meat prices showed different market trends.
Meanwhile, the livestock industry continues to focus on improving production efficiency through better housing, feeding, drinking, environmental control and animal health management.
For commercial pig, cattle, sheep and poultry farms, equipment is becoming increasingly important in controlling operating costs. Automatic feeding systems, reliable drinking systems, farm environmental monitoring, livestock handling equipment and biosecurity systems can help reduce labor requirements and support standardized farm management.
The USDA’s 2026 livestock outlook also shows continued changes across pork, beef, poultry and dairy production and international trade. These market adjustments mean livestock producers and agricultural companies need to pay closer attention to productivity, animal health and cost control.
For livestock equipment manufacturers such as SHEWUYOU, these developments also create new opportunities. Farms in Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and other developing livestock markets continue to invest in modern equipment as they move from traditional farming toward larger and more professional production systems.
SHEWUYOU will continue to follow global livestock industry developments and provide equipment solutions for pig, cattle, sheep, goat and poultry farms.
