Find a good way out for sick and dead animals

There is an old saying in the circle of livestock and poultry breeders, "if you have a lot of money, it doesn't count." It can be seen that livestock and poultry farming is facing great risks. According to statistics, China produces and consumes the largest number of live pigs in the world. Even if the normal mortality rate of live pigs is 3%, with a large breeding base and a high proportion of free-range breeding, the absolute number of deaths of live pigs will be large.

The point is, "where is the dead pig?" Because they did not have enough processing capacity, the farmers tried to save trouble and had to throw the sick and dead pigs into the river. After all, the pig is dead, and if you spend money on burying and burning, farmers will have to increase their costs. There are more sick and dead pigs entering the market. At the end of last year, the media exposed the incident of Jiangxi Gao'an dead pigs entering the market to let consumers know that by selling sick and dead pork, only one slaughterhouse could get 20 million yuan / year sales revenue.

When live pigs get sick, the most sympathetic are farmers who can throw dead pigs into rivers or sell them to pig traders in order to reduce losses, and allow pork with safety risks to endanger the environment or be brought to the table. Vulnerable farmers have become the perpetrators of public environmental safety and food safety.

Simply "blocking" is not the solution. The "opinions on establishing a harmless treatment Mechanism for sick and dead Livestock and Poultry" issued by the General Office of the State Council at the end of last year clearly put forward the strengthening of the main responsibility of producers and operators, the implementation of territorial management responsibilities, and the construction of a harmless treatment system. Harmless treatment facilities and equipment into the scope of subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery, enjoy the relevant state tax preferences, harmless treatment in order to obtain insurance claims. Let breeders reduce losses through harmless treatment of sick and dead pigs, let enterprises involved in harmless treatment taste sweetness in production, and establish a "harmless treatment mechanism for sick and dead livestock and poultry". Guiding the management of sick and dead livestock and poultry to achieve the transformation from "plugging mainly" to "blocking and sparse combination".

In fact, the practice of harmless treatment of sick and dead livestock and poultry in Sichuan and Jiangsu is not only a legal constraint to ensure the safety of the dining table, but also an important measure to promote the development of local animal husbandry industry and the construction of ecological civilization. High temperature biodegradation, conversion of sick and dead livestock and poultry into bio-organic fertilizer and industrial oil, and various scientific research and market behaviors around the treatment and utilization of sick and dead livestock and poultry to turn sick and dead livestock and poultry into waste. The harmless treatment of finding a "good way out" for sick and dead livestock and poultry has not only invigorated the development of the animal husbandry industry, but also tightened the institutional mechanism for ensuring "tongue safety" and ecological civilization, which is not only a commercial opportunity, but also public health and ecological welfare. it can be said that it can be said to kill more than one stone and benefit the country, the people and enterprises.

We can get some inspiration from the treatment mechanism of sick and dead livestock and poultry. Many food safety issues not only need strict supervision, but also need the operating mechanism of sustainable development. This is the case with the harmless treatment of sick and dead livestock and poultry, and so is the establishment of the mechanism of "reducing weight and reducing drugs" in agricultural production. With sustainable economic benefits to guide the healthy and orderly development of the industry, many food safety problems will be eliminated from the source.
