Experts explain the quality and safety of pork: scientific nutrition and eat with confidence

In this regard, Qian Yongzhong, a researcher at the Agricultural Product Quality Standard Research Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that China organizes routine monitoring of the quality and safety of national agricultural products every year to detect

Recently, the reporter interviewed experts in pig breeding and feed veterinary drug safety on the quality and safety of pork that consumers care about, and answered several key questions about the quality and safety of pork in the

Question 1: Why do pigs now feed feed and feed additives?

The key to growing fat in pigs is to eat enough and eat well

Chen Shiyan, a professor at China Agricultural University, said that feed is the key

Feed additives are used in small amounts but have significant effects in feed, including nutritional additives, general additives and pharmaceutical additives

The state explicitly prohibits the addition of sedative hypnotic and anticonvulsant drugs

In addition, there are often rumors that adding inorganic arsenic to pig feed will make pigs appear ruddy and shiny, which is a common sense mistake

Chen Shiyan said that whether a substance can become an additive must be tested and fed by the institution designated by the competent agricultural department of the State Council, and the animal husbandry experts will assess its safety according to the results, and the assessment can only be included in the "Feed Additive Varieties Catalog"

Question two: How can pigs grow to 6 months and grow to 200-300 pounds?

Pigs are of good quality and quantity, and scientific breeding is the trick

Wang Lixian, a researcher at the Beijing Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that scientific pig raising can ensure both quality and quantity

At different fattening stages before the pigs come out of the pen, the feed amount is different, and the total feeding amount is about

Wang Lixian said that the modern pig industry, characterized by large-scale pig breeding, is currently developing rapidly, and the breeding concept and management level are constantly improving

Question 3: Can modern pigs not use veterinary drugs?

Pigs grow at risk of disease, and it is common sense to see a doctor and take medicine

Cai Xuepeng, director of the China Veterinary Drug Supervision Institute, said that animals should also be vaccinated to prevent diseases, and they need to be treated

According to the Animal Epidemic Prevention Law and the Regulations on the Administration of Veterinary Drugs, the use of drugs in the process of animal breeding must comply with relevant regulations

Cai Xuepeng said that China has never approved hormone drugs for animal growth, and approved hormone drugs are mainly used to treat breeding animal reproduction and obstetric diseases, which is consistent
