People's Daily questioned the quality and safety of pork: Why feed and feed additives?

feed is the key to a good pig. It is a necessary measure to supplement pig nutrition and ensure product quality, and it is also a technology popularized internationally. Generally speaking, the proportion of feed additives in feed will not exceed 4%, the proportion is high, feeding costs will inevitably increase, for farmers is not cost-effective.

.In this regard, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Agricultural Product quality standards research center researcher Qian Yongzhong said that China's annual organization of the national agricultural product quality and safety routine monitoring, the pork may exist in the drug residues and clenbuterol and other illegal additives for testing. The results showed that the pass rate of pork quality safety and safety monitoring was 99.5% in 2016 and 99.8% in the first three quarters of 2017. In general, the quality and safety of pork products is guaranteed, consumers can rest assured that consumption.
.Recently, the reporter on the consumer concerned about the quality and safety of pork interviewed pig breeding and feed veterinary drug safety experts, answered the market on pork quality and safety of several key questions.

question one: Why feed and feed additives for pig farming now?
.Pig long, the key to eat full, eat well
bpjChina Agricultural University professor Yan Shiyan said that feed is the key to pig food and good. Feed and feed additives are the material basis and technical guarantee of modern pig farming industry, is to supplement pig nutrition, to ensure product quality necessary measures, but also the international popularization of technology, China and the United States, Germany, Denmark and other pig-breeding countries of the breeding technology, feed use, fertility cycle, pig weight, meat quality, product safety and other conditions are basically consistent, in line with international standards and import and export trade guidelines.
.Feed additives in the feed use is very small but significant, including nutritional additives, general additives and drug additives three categories. The traditional single feed can only solve the problem of pig "full", and nutritional additives are mainly feed-grade amino acids, vitamins, in order to solve the problem of pig "eat well". Adding the appropriate amount of drug additives to the feed can effectively prevent and control the common and multiple diseases of pigs, and by carrying out the suspension period during the feeding phase, the amount of drug residue in pork can be controlled within the range of harmless to humans. In the feed to add antioxidant and other general additives, mostly with the food industry additives general, belong to the food grade, whether for pig growth or for pork quality, there is no harm.
.The state prohibits the addition of sedative hypnotic, anticonvulsant drugs such as phenyle to feed. By adding sleeping pills to make pigs sleep more and move less, fast long fat is not necessary, because captive pigs themselves are very little activity, do not need to use sedatives. Urea, arsenic preparations and copper are among the substances permitted to be added to the feed, but are subject to restrictions and may not be used at will. Urea is a high nitrogen fertilizer, if a small amount of ruminant sons used in cattle, sheep and other ruminants have a role, can be ruminant tumor stomach microorganisms secreted by the enzyme decomposition, by the synthesis of proteins to be absorbed and digested. Pigs have no tumor stomach, urea nitrogen is difficult to use, the amount of excessive or even lead to death of pig poisoning. For the role of adding copper, only the right amount of copper in the feed can promote pig growth, allowing the appropriate amount of specific standards added in each 1000 kg of feed copper preparation stake can not exceed 200 grams.
.In addition, there are often rumors that in the pig feed to add inorganic arsenic, pigs will appear red skin, hair bright, this statement made a common sense mistake. Organic arsenic is added to the feed, not inorganic arsenic. Organic arsenic plays an important role in improving feed utilization and disease resistance. At present, in addition to China, the United States and many other countries have also approved as feed additives. Organic arsenic is excreted from the faeces and has very low residue in the body tissues of pigs. And inorganic arsenic is a highly toxic substance, commonly known as antimony, will cause pig death, is not allowed to add in the feed.
.　　Yan Shiyan said that whether a substance can become an additive must be tested and fed tested by the agency designated by the competent department of agriculture under the State Council, and the safety of animal husbandry experts shall be assessed according to the results, which can be approved before it can be included in the List of Feed Additive Varieties. Generally speaking, the proportion of feed additives in feed will not exceed 4%, the proportion is high, feeding costs will inevitably increase, for farmers is not cost-effective.
.　　Question two: Now how long to 6 months on the column, but also grow to 200-300 catties?
.　　Pig quality and quantity, scientific breeding is a knack
bpj The Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences Beijing Institute of Livestock and Veterinary Research Researcher Wang Lixian said that scientific pig farming can both guarantee quality and quantity. At present, the normal breeding cycle of pigs is generally 150-180 days. The main reason for the fast growth of pigs and the short fertilization cycle is "three good": good pigs, good materials, good circles, that is, good breeds of pigs, feed nutrition safety, and improvement of the breeding environment. Commodity pig production is mainly Dulock, Changbai and big white pig three hybrid varieties, these high-quality varieties of pigs 160 days or so out of the column is normal, foreign better breeds of pigs out of the column cycle is shorter. The pig fertilization time of hybridization using local varieties is relatively long, with an average breeding cycle of 180-200 days.
.　　In the different stages of fertilization before the pig is out of the column, the feed feed is different, and the total feeding amount is about 300 kg. If the feed is fed only grains, pig grass and other traditional pig food, the growth cycle of pigs increased by at least one month. The development and application of modern feed and feed additives has greatly improved the feed conversion rate, reduced the cost of raising pigs in pig production, and laid a solid scientific foundation for the pig industry to obtain good social and economic benefits. It is estimated that, with the application of modern feed science and technology, China's feed conversion rate has obviously improved, and the contribution rate to animal husbandry has exceeded 40%. The conversion rate of pig with feed was raised from 4:1 to 3:1. It used to take a year to raise a pig, and now it's six months to go out, which is inseparable from the technological advances in nutritionally balanced feed and farming.
.　　Wang Lixian said that the modern pig farming industry, characterized by large-scale pig farming, is now developing rapidly, and the concept and management level of breeding are constantly improving. By improving the breeding environment, the implementation of harmless treatment of animal and poultry manure, and gradually solve the major epidemic and antibiotic residues and other issues, pig growth cycle gradually shortened, each pig weight is generally about 200 kg.

question three: Can modern pig farming not use veterinary drugs?
.　　Pig growth will have the risk of disease, to see a doctor to take medicine is common sense
bpj China Veterinary Drug Inspectorate Director Cai Xuepeng said that animals should also be vaccinated against disease, sick need to be treated with drugs. Veterinary drugs refer to substances used to prevent, treat, diagnose animal diseases or to regulate the physiological function of animals for purpose and to specify the use and use of the substances. Pigs in different degrees of breeding face the risk of disease, although by strengthening breeding management, improve the breeding environment conditions can prevent disease, reduce the incidence of pigs, but because of the external environment long-term existence of some pathogenic microorganisms, once the cause of disease, the necessary treatment of drugs is inevitable, even in the United States, the European Union and other countries and regions with advanced breeding technology. China is the largest country in the world, small and medium-sized pig farms still occupy a considerable proportion, small and medium-sized pig farms have weak biosecurity measures, poor epidemic prevention conditions and so on. Therefore, in the longer period of time, animal disease prevention and control pressure is still very large, the use of veterinary drugs is still one of the main means of pig disease control.
.　　According to the Animal Epidemic Prevention Act and the Regulations on the Administration of Veterinary Medicines, the use of drugs in the animal breeding process is subject to relevant regulations. First, to use state-approved veterinary drugs, quality meets the requirements, not to use banned veterinary drugs or compounds;
.　　Cai Xuepeng said that China has never approved hormone drugs for animal growth, and approved hormone drugs are mainly used to treat breeding and obstetric diseases, which is consistent with EU regulations. Up to now, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has only approved more than 10 kinds of antibiotics such as tomycin as drug additives, and strictly stipulates the use of animal varieties, usage, suspension period, etc. , the content of the provisions and international standards basically in line.
