The decline in slaughter pig prices is dragging down the profitability of pig farming.

Slight recovery in slaughterers' margins thanks to lower pig purchase costs

17, Nov 2025

The profitability of Italian closed-cycle farms worsened in October compared to the previous month, marking a 2.9% decline on a monthly basis and a 13.5% decline compared to the same period in 2024. This is according to analyses by Crefis (www.crefis.it), which show that, despite a slight reduction in feed costs, the decline in prices for heavy slaughter pigs destined for the protected circuit had a negative impact, falling by 3.3% compared to September and 11% on an annual basis, reaching a value of €2.110/kg.
