Avian influenza tests the immunity of China's aquaculture industry

Introduction: after the outbreak of avian influenza in some places in China, many places have been looking for countermeasures for prevention and control Xinhua News Agency reporters recently learned from interviews in some epidemic areas that the epidemic has hit some farmers hard: the poultry market is closed, the healthy operation of the market chain is interrupted, and the economic loss is huge As many farmers borrow money to raise chickens, they are unable to repay their debts after being killed, and they are unable to resume production after the industrial chain breaks We believe that this phenomenon will be alleviated after the implementation of the government's policy of supporting the poultry industry, but this phenomenon also reminds us that in the process of transition from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture, it is very important for the sustainable development of animal husbandry to adopt intensive management, continuously improve the level of scientific breeding and improve the immunity of animal husbandry in China The spread of avian influenza in some areas of China is not only due to the serious epidemic situation in the surrounding countries and regions, but also due to the highly decentralized management mode, unscientific feeding mode and the lagging construction of animal health and epidemic prevention system In recent years, China's livestock and poultry breeding industry has developed rapidly At present, the intensive and modern level of livestock and poultry products of some large domestic leading enterprises is very high, and the chance of poultry infected with epidemic diseases is less Once it happens, measures can be taken to control the epidemic situation quickly However, on the whole, the poultry industry in China is still based on free range In the vast countryside, the small-scale feeding of thousands of families is a traditional custom for thousands of years According to the results of the monitoring of the scattered farmers by Hebei animal husbandry and veterinary station, the antibody of the scattered farmers is generally not up to the standard, which has become the difficulty of the current prevention and control of avian influenza This is because, a large number of farmers, there is a widespread problem of simple, extensive management Many poultry houses are built at home, and the production environment is not closed and isolated; many poultry houses have high breeding density, narrow cages, low sanitation standards, and lack of disinfection and cleaning measures Some farmers also engage in mixed breeding of poultry, which has multiplied the chances of rapid and large-scale spread of animal diseases In order to improve economic benefits, some farmers also frequently use oxytocin, which makes the animal's resistance to the disease worse and worse The spread of avian influenza has exposed the weakness and malpractice of poultry industry, which is characterized by small-scale production It is the fundamental measure to improve the immunity of the poultry industry to actively promote the transformation of the breeding mode, gradually change the traditional habits of scattered breeding, guide the farmers to develop appropriate scale breeding, promote intensive, standardized and standardized production, establish scientific breeding concept and promote scientific breeding mode At the same time, we should follow the international trend, actively promote the concept of "animal welfare" and improve the level of animal welfare From the perspective of China's national conditions, in a quite long period in the future, specialized households will still be the main mode of operation of poultry industry in China But at present, the rural health infrastructure is weak, the technical force is insufficient, the farmers lack the necessary knowledge and awareness of epidemic prevention, and the rural animal epidemic prevention system generally appears "fault" Therefore, governments at all levels should increase investment, vigorously strengthen the construction of animal epidemic prevention system, and effectively improve the technical level of rural veterinarians and the ability to prevent and control animal epidemics The occurrence of avian influenza is a crisis, but also an opportunity for us to reflect and adjust ourselves To reflect on our shortcomings and improve the immunity of the breeding industry through epidemic situation is the proper meaning of establishing modern agriculture (end)
