EU - The stability recorded in the German and Dutch sow prices at the beginning of the year has stayed true through to the end of April, albeit at low M1 sow price averages of around 0.95/kg and 0.83/kg respectively.With the pound continuing to weaken against the euro during the first quarter of 2016, the sterling value of the German cull sow price increased to 77p/kg by the end of March, up from around 70p at the turn of the year.However, in recent weeks, the pound has strengthened slightly, resulting in the sterling value of the sow price falling back slightly, to just under 75p/kg in the latest week.

　　尽管德国和荷兰M1母猪均匀价格分辞大约在0.95/kg和0.83/kg，但是两国记录的母猪价格从今年初到四月底真的向来保持稳定。英镑在2016年首席季度对欧元持续表现疲软，用英镑价值衡量的德国扑杀母猪价格截至三月底增添了77p/kg，相比今年年底前上涨了70p左右。然而，英镑在最近几周稍微走强，导致用英镑价值衡量的母猪价格轻微归落，上周价格还差一点达到75p/kg。
