In the traditional pig slaughtering and processing industry, the value of small intestines was long underestimated. However, through in-depth technological exploration, we have successfully transformed the small intestine from a common by-product into a "treasure trove" of multiplied value. The core of this transformation lies in the refined processing and extraction of two high-value products: natural casings and heparin sodium. This technology not only greatly enhances resource utilization but also decisively influences the overall economic benefits for producers.

Technological Breakthrough: The Transformation from "Fragile" to "High-Value"

During the traditional casing scraping process, the small intestine is prone to breakage due to its brittleness, leading to low yield and significant value loss. Through intensive research, we have developed a set of efficient, yield-boosting solutions – notably, a pre-processing stage before scraping.

Before processing, we subject the small intestines to a special raw material treatment that significantly increases their flexibility and strength, effectively reducing the risk of breakage during scraping. This crucial detail-oriented improvement maximizes the utilization rate of the small intestine, truly achieving "maximizing value from materials."

Economic Analysis: The Wealth Multiplication of a Single Small Intestine

Let's calculate the tangible economics using current general market prices:

Raw Material Cost: Acquiring one small intestine costs approximately 20 RMB.

Casing Value: Using the new technology, an average of 5 - 5.5 small intestines can produce 100 meters of standard casing. The current market price for casings is about 1.50 - 1.60 RMB/meter, meaning 100 meters of casing can be valued at 150 - 160 RMB. This alone covers, or even exceeds, the procurement and processing costs of the small intestines.

The Profit Core – Heparin Sodium: While processing casings, we can also extract the precious biochemical raw material – heparin sodium – from the intestinal mucosa. The cost associated with heparin sodium extraction is about 0.50 RMB per intestine, and approximately 700 intestines yield 1 kilogram of heparin sodium.

The current market price for heparin sodium is as high as 8,500 - 11,000 RMB/kg.

This means the value created by the casings covers the primary costs, making heparin sodium almost pure profit!

Profitability Outlook

Taking a small to medium-scale operation as an example:

Daily processing of 300 small intestines.

Annual heparin sodium extraction exceeding 15 kg.

From heparin sodium alone, annual profits can reach approximately 120,000 RMB.

If the casing operation is managed meticulously, the total annual economic benefits can easily surpass 200,000 RMB.

Market Prospects: Tight Supply, Rising Prices

Market conditions for these products remain strong:

Casings: The contract price is stable at 150 - 160 RMB per 100 meters.

Heparin Sodium: Prices remain firm, maintaining a high level of 8,500 - 11,000 RMB/kg.

More importantly, forecasts based on fluctuations in domestic pig slaughter volumes suggest that the supply-demand imbalance for casings and heparin sodium will intensify. With tight export supplies internationally, global prices are expected to enter a phase of rapid ascent, presenting a unprecedented opportunity for producers who have mastered the core processing technology.

Conclusion

Action achieves the future, details determine success. In the agricultural product processing sector, in-depth technological development is the key to creating superior profits. By transforming an ordinary small intestine into two golden products – casings and heparin sodium – through technological innovation, we not only achieve extreme cost coverage but also open up vast profit margins. Now is the optimal time to seize this market opportunity and convert this "alchemy" into tangible wealth.
