Worries about pig feed market

Introduction: as a famous pig breeding area in China, Rongchang has gradually become one of the largest feed and veterinary drug distribution centers in Southwest China since 1980s, with an annual turnover of 400-600 million yuan and nearly 3000 employees However, in recent years, there are more and more Ladybug traders in the county's feed market "Ladybug peddlers" are specialized in the "processing" and sales of various "formula feeds" for the purpose of profiteering In fact, the processing of "formula feed" is very simple Ladybug sellers only use one Ladybug and several pockets, which contain various feed additives If the buyer comes to the door, the "laddlers" will grab the ladles and scoop out some of them in each pocket and mix them together The "formula feed" is formed Experts pointed out that this kind of production behavior of "Ladybug peddlers" is extremely irregular and illegal This "formula feed" is not a feed additive, but a simple mixture of additive raw materials Feed additives contain a lot of ferrous sulfate, copper sulfate, zinc sulfate and other compounds, mainly to promote the growth and development of pigs However, the production of feed additives, in addition to the above raw materials, also requires certain auxiliary raw materials, and in accordance with strict dose standards, fully mixed by machinery before final completion The artificial simple mixing, not only does not have the dosage standard, and causes the raw material to mix unevenly At the same time, due to the fact that solid particles such as copper sulfate are not easy to be comminuted, a large number of heavy metal elements in feed additives exceed the standard, and a large number of heavy metal elements remain in pigs after eating, which may cause great harm or potential harm to people's physical and mental health In early January, 23 people in Yuhang, Zhejiang Province, were poisoned by the sale of pork containing clenbuterol hydrochloride All kinds of "formula feed" exist not only in Rongchang, but also in other areas Since this year, in line with the joint crackdown on counterfeiting in the national agricultural material market, relevant departments have carried out a major inspection of the feed market and achieved positive results However, the person in charge said frankly that it is difficult to completely ban "formula feed" in practice Finally, there are still many imperfections in the "market access system" of feed market, which causes many illegal traders to mix their eyes and fish and disturb the normal economic order of feed market (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
