Abstract
This paper addresses the extended development of the integrated model of the industry chain, utilizing the form of virtual organizations for further expansion. Given the necessity of concentrated resource allocation in the feed industry chain, virtual organizations, with their advantages of dynamism and flexibility, can enhance internal communication and collaboration efficiency, strengthen collaborative effects, scale effects, market effects, and reduce market competition and risks. The article enriches the integrated application model of the feed industry by drawing on three novel supply chain strategies. Empirical research indicates that the application of virtual organizations in the integration of the feed industry can fully leverage their effectiveness and applicability. Performance analysis indicators are also enumerated. In the future, it is expected to conduct more extensive research on virtual organizations, proposing innovative conceptual applications for the integrated integration of agricultural industry chains.
