"Grasping with both hands" to boost poultry industry to a new level

Recently, there have been cases of H7N9 influenza in some provinces of China. Yu Kangzhen, vice minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and chief veterinary officer of the country, said when investigating the prevention and control of H7N9 flu a few days ago that animal husbandry and veterinary departments at all levels should grasp both sides and put forward the idea of "grasping epidemic prevention and control on the one hand and industrial development on the other" in order to effectively prevent the risk of epidemic disease, promote the transformation and upgrading of the poultry industry, and promote the sustained and steady development of the poultry industry.

In winter, H7N9 constantly appears in the news reports of social and public media, which also means that H7N9 influenza cases will threaten people's health and safety. in this regard, animal husbandry departments must be highly vigilant and take more urgent and effective measures to scientifically, orderly and efficiently invest in the prevention and control of H7N9 influenza to meet the challenge.

"grasping epidemic prevention and control on the one hand and industrial development on the other" are the two major themes to grasp the development trend of animal husbandry industry in the future. We must actively understand the new normal of animal husbandry development, scientifically grasp the law of animal husbandry development, and earnestly prepare for various risks and difficulties such as H7N9 influenza prevention and control, so as to create favorable opportunities for speeding up the healthy development of animal husbandry industry and pave a broader way for the sustainable development of animal husbandry industry in the future.

To grasp the prevention and control of epidemic diseases on the one hand, that is, animal husbandry and veterinary departments should, in conjunction with the state's plan to eliminate H7N9 influenza, increase supervision over the quality of animal products, actively organize investigation and monitoring, and strengthen supervision and inspection of animal products in the circulation market, so as to ensure the stability of major animal epidemics and the quality and safety of animal products in the country. To carry out regular or irregular immunization in livestock farms, in addition to general surveys and testing, animal husbandry and veterinary departments should also conscientiously carry out emergency vaccination and strengthen the supervision and inspection of animal epidemic prevention on temporary inter-provincial highways. At the same time, we should strengthen the monitoring and inspection of live poultry markets and poultry farms, actively organize veterinary experts and backbones to enter villages, and go deep into various farms, livestock and poultry wholesale markets, and slaughterhouses to carry out supervision and inspection, so as to ensure that healthy livestock and poultry and their products enter the circulation market, and strengthen the supervision and inspection of animal products in the circulation market. It is necessary to carry out supplementary inspection for unqualified and unhealthy animals and their products, and separate and inspect the mixed habitation of people and birds in the market, so as to eliminate the hidden dangers of pathogens and epidemic situation in time and effectively prevent the risk of epidemic disease.

On the one hand, animal husbandry and veterinary departments should pay attention to the impact of influenza epidemic information on the poultry industry and the consumption of poultry products. In order to strengthen technical guidance and services, it is necessary to establish a technical guarantee system for the development of animal husbandry, poultry breeding and poultry products. At the same time, it is necessary to formulate policies to attract powerful enterprises, private capital and farmers to vigorously develop livestock and poultry farming. We will encourage the adoption of various modes of operation to develop livestock and poultry farming. We will support animal products processing enterprises, sales enterprises and scientific research institutions to invest in the development and construction of animal husbandry and the processing and sales of pollution-free food, and form a benefit-sharing and risk-sharing relationship with livestock and poultry breeding bases and farmers. We will adopt preferential policies in finance, taxation and credit to support a number of outstanding leading enterprises to speed up their development, promote the transformation and upgrading of the poultry industry, and promote the sustained and steady development of the poultry industry.

Such a talent, through "dual grasp", to promote the transformation and upgrading of the poultry industry, to a new level.
