Improve food safety with plant extract feed additive!

"Food is the first thing for the people, and safety is the first." Food is indispensable to human production and life all the time The safety of food affects human health and even life At the two sessions, a deputy to the National People's Congress once called for "health hazards caused by food and drug insecurity will harm a generation, if genetic genes are damaged, it will also harm future generations, and it will not be enough to make up for in a hundred years!" therefore, improving food safety can not be postponed The formal implementation of the food safety law shows the determination of the party and the state to ensure people's food safety The aquaculture industry is closely related to food safety, and there are endless food safety crises related to the aquaculture industry For example, take the contraceptive eel, turtle, "Sudan" duck egg, "melamine" milk powder, "bodybuilding pig" and so on Antibiotics can promote the growth of animals and inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms Driven by the pursuit of the greatest economic benefits, many people will ignore social responsibility and add antibiotics in the feed at will or in excess The abuse of antibiotics is very serious in the breeding industry In 2010, India, Pakistan, Canada, Belgium, Britain, Japan and other countries reported the occurrence of superbug (NDM-1) infection, which caused many deaths This superbug, which can resist all antibiotics, may be related to a large number of use and abuse of antibiotics in modern breeding industry, resulting in its extremely strong drug resistance "Clenbuterol" is a kind of β - adrenoceptor agonist, which can promote the growth of animals, promote the deposition of lean meat, inhibit the deposition of fat meat, improve the lean meat ratio of carcasses and improve the feed utilization ratio in a short time However, eating meat containing clenbuterol will do harm to human body, with common poisoning symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, weakness of limbs and tremor of hands, especially for patients with heart disease and hypertension Long term consumption may lead to chromosomal aberrations and cancer However, the "Clenbuterol" event still occurs from time to time The addition of high-dose trace elements will increase the deposition of trace elements in animal tissues and organs, and also cause environmental pollution The content of copper in the liver of pigs fed with high copper diet was over the standard If people eat such high copper animal products for a long time, it will cause copper deposition in the internal organs, increase the level of free radicals in the body, change lipid metabolism, lead to atherosclerosis and accelerate cell aging and death, which is harmful to human health Many low quality trace element additives have the problem of heavy metal exceeding the standard, which brings hidden danger to food safety The abuse of hormone feed additives (such as dexamethasone, growth hormone, etc.) in animal breeding has brought obvious harm to people, especially children Arsenic Preparation feed additive can promote animal growth and improve animal hair color At present, arsanic acid and Lockheed arsenic are widely used However, arsenic preparation is very toxic, and it will damage the structure and function of chromosomes, leading to various gene mutations The absorption rate of arsenic in animals is only 5% The large-scale use of arsenic preparation will lead to a large amount of arsenic discharged into the environment and pose a threat to human beings In order to ensure human health and sustainable development, we must start from feed and feed additives to fundamentally solve the food safety crisis Since ancient times, traditional Chinese medicine has the theory of "medicine food homology" It is safe and reliable to search for and develop feed additives from "medicine food homology" plants Chinese herbal extracts have become a research hotspot of alternative antibiotics Chinese herbal extracts such as Radix Isatidis and Houttuynia cordata have been used to replace antibiotics to treat various kinds of inflammation in the pharmaceutical industry, and many Chinese patent medicines with significant effects and small side effects have been developed In terms of feed additives, a variety of Chinese herbal extracts have been successfully developed, which have played a huge role in promoting animal growth, improving feed utilization, enhancing animal disease resistance and improving meat product quality, and are non-toxic, harmless and free of harmful residues Therefore, the research and development of "medicine food homology" plant extract feed additives, to improve product safety, improve food safety, is the general trend, the work of benefiting the country and the people.
