Introduction: Guangzhou feed work office and Guangzhou Feed Industry Association held a "feed and food safety experience exchange meeting" on August 12, and then held a "no antibiotic" feed application field promotion meeting in Shitan Town, Zengcheng City, a pig breeding base in Guangzhou on the morning of August 29 It is reported that this town is the experimental site for Guangzhou weikangjia Feed Co., Ltd to feed pigs with antibiotic free premixed feed and new feed raw materials The pigs fed with this antibiotic free feed are identified and tasted by experts after being inspected by the authoritative department They are named as "Weikang" pigs because of their safety and good flavor At the meeting, Dr Lin Shubin, Guangdong Provincial Animal Husbandry Technology Promotion Station, introduced that Weikang pig is a common ternary hybrid pig, and its feeding standard is: 1 No antibiotics or chemical antibacterial drugs, including organic arsenic preparations; 2 No high copper, zinc and iron, only minerals that can meet the normal growth of pigs are added 3 Do not use drugs banned by the state, and use probiotics, allicin and other additives The results showed that Weikang pig was lively in spirit, ruddy in skin, plump in hindquarters, tender and smooth in meat, sweet in chewing, with the flavor of "native pig" The slaughtering rate was 92.1%, far higher than 86% of ordinary pigs The economic benefits of Weikang pig are also considerable: 1 Weikang pig gained 3.03 kg more than that of the control group; 2 According to the agreement, the purchase price of Weikang pig is 0.3 yuan higher than that of the control group; 3 The feed cost per kg is 0.1 yuan higher than that of the control group According to this calculation, the income of each Weikang pig is about 50 yuan higher than that of the control group The trial breeders also reported that because Weikang pigs sell well and grow evenly in each row, every time they sell pigs, they sell them in a whole row, which greatly shortens the turnover period of empty columns According to Wu Dongqiao, director of Guangzhou feed work office, the application of "antibiotic free" feed experiment proves that it is safe, healthy and better in quality and flavor to use natural plant extracts, probiotics and other feed additives instead of growth promoters harmful to human health and environment such as antibiotics, high copper and arsenic preparations It can be said that the cultivation of "no resistance" has its merits at present and benefits in the future We should promote this concept and technology so that citizens can eat safe, healthy and delicious pork Because of its good operability and obvious economic benefits, more than 70 representatives of pig farmers from the whole town showed great interest They listened carefully and asked questions carefully They put forward a number of suggestions on the promotion and application of "antibiotic free" feed The representatives also tasted Weikang pigs After the meeting, Guangzhou feed work office and Guangzhou feed industry association will organize experts to visit pig farmers to further implement the promotion and application of "antibiotic free" feed.
