Popis: China is a big country on livestock production and Chinese livestock products output value is increased yearly. However, Chinese livestock products are still mainly dominated by self-employed farmer’s production mode which leads to imbalance between supply and demand, periodic fluctuations in prices. In this paper an integration of livestock products supply chain is proposed to solve the imbalance problem. A sample of a duck farm is chosen to show the process of the integration. First a discrete-event simulation model is built by the supply chain which is composed of hatching, breeding, and packaging and transporting. Then production plan, transport routes and the number of fixed assets are adjusted to achieve the goal that the mean of supply-demand ratio is close to 1 and the variance is close to 0.
