On the afternoon of March 3, the Provincial Agriculture Department urgently held a meeting on the prevention and control of major animal diseases to inform and analyze the current situation of prevention and control, and make comprehensive arrangements for the prevention and control of major animal diseases and epidemic prevention in spring in our province. The meeting pointed out that recently, our province has been hit by a cold snap, coupled with warmer temperatures, damp and overcast rain, which can easily induce animal epidemics, and the severe epidemic situation at home and abroad has also caused great pressure on the prevention and control work in our province. The meeting stressed that agricultural and animal husbandry departments at all levels should vigorously promote healthy breeding and change the mode of production of animal husbandry, earnestly achieve the "eight efforts to strengthen", and comprehensively strengthen the prevention and control of major animal diseases in our province:

First, efforts should be made to strengthen the awareness of performing their duties and implement the responsibility for epidemic prevention and control. We will resolutely implement the responsibility system for the prevention and control of major animal diseases, earnestly perform the duties entrusted by the Animal epidemic Prevention Law, and do a good job in the implementation of various prevention and control measures.

Second, efforts should be made to strengthen compulsory immunization to ensure the immune effect of livestock and poultry. Strengthen the monitoring of immune effect, so that "should be exempted, timely monitoring, no gap" to ensure the density and quality of immunity.

Third, efforts should be made to strengthen the investigation of epidemic diseases and improve the ability of early warning and forecasting. Immediately organize forces to quickly carry out a comprehensive investigation of pig epidemic disease, and report and deal with anomalies in a timely manner.

Fourth, efforts should be made to strengthen the supervision of epidemic prevention and quarantine and effectively cut off the transmission of epidemic diseases. Strictly implement the quarantine of places of origin and slaughtering and quarantine in accordance with the law, and strengthen the supervision and inspection of the slaughtering, management, transportation and storage of animals and animal products.

Strengthen publicity, popularize the common sense that ○ foot-and-mouth disease is preventable and controllable, guide consumption scientifically, enhance confidence in breeding, and stabilize pig production.

Eighth, efforts should be made to strengthen spring prevention and complete the task of prevention and control in an all-round way. According to the deployment of the Ministry of Agriculture, spring prevention work has been comprehensively launched from the beginning of this month, and all localities should take immediate action to formulate feasible plans for the implementation of spring prevention work, strengthen leadership, meticulous organization, careful deployment, and strengthen measures to ensure quality and quantity to complete the prevention and control of major animal diseases in spring.
