Yinchuan pork business is weak, and the public need not panic about Streptococcus suis

Introduction: Sichuan, as a major pig raising Province in China, has a market rate of more than 70% of the country On June 24, 2005, some people who slaughtered or had direct contact with dead pigs in Ziyang, Sichuan province suffered from a strange disease The patients all felt dizzy and nauseous, with large purple bruises on their bodies On July 25, the Ministry of health officially diagnosed it as Streptococcus suis infection So far, there is no evidence that the disease can be transmitted from person to person According to the latest report of the Information Office of the Ministry of health, as of 12:00 on August 1, 198 cases of human Streptococcus suis had been reported, and no new cases of human Streptococcus suis had been reported in Sichuan Province Since the occurrence of Streptococcus suis in Ziyang, Sichuan Province, Yinchuan pork business has been weak, which has attracted national attention rapidly Yinchuan people are more concerned about whether the pork purchased locally is reassuring As a pork sales terminal, the business stall has become the focus of many people On August 1, the reporter visited the lakeside market, Xinyi market and some pork stores in Xingqing District of Yinchuan city Many operators complained to the reporter that the business in recent days is not good At 9:00 a.m on August 1, when the reporter entered the lakeside market, many pork stalls were full of birds Feng, a business owner with a brand of Lingwu fresh pork, told reporters that after the occurrence of Streptococcus suis in Ziyang, Sichuan Province, the pork business was far worse than before A lot of customers have said that they can't eat pork these days We'll talk about it after the epidemic After July 28, about 3 or 400 Jin of pork can be sold in one day, but there is no problem in selling 8 or 900 Jin of pork in the previous day At present, there are more than 100 pork operators in Yinchuan city Now the farm has raised the price of pork from 5 yuan / jin to 5.5 yuan / Jin, while the retail price of pork is difficult to rise accordingly The reporter learned that at present, the price of pork in Yinchuan is 6.0 yuan / Jin for forelegs, 6.5-7 yuan / Jin for hind legs, 7 yuan / Jin for ribs and 9 yuan / Jin for tenderloin The operator told reporters that the leftover meat would be stored in the refrigerator and sold to migrant workers at a low price The reporter learned from the animal husbandry department of the Department of agriculture and animal husbandry of the autonomous region that the latest statistics showed that the number of live pigs to be slaughtered in Zhongwei City in July was 3.9% lower than that in June, and 12.99% lower than that in the same period last year The staff believed that it was mainly caused by the low market purchasing power At 4:20 a.m on August 2, the reporter arrived at the designated pork slaughterhouse in the east gate of Xingqing District, Yinchuan City, where there are more than 50 operators waiting to buy pork From time to time, a pig pulling car drove into the yard About half of the pigs slaughtered here come from the countryside, but only after passing the quarantine can they be sold in the stall of the operator, a farmer told reporters A business owner quietly told reporters that there are also some restaurants that go directly to farmers' houses to collect pork Quarantine officials guarantee that people eat meat at ease A staff member surnamed Liu from Yinchuan animal quarantine station said in an interview that most of the pork sold in the area comes from the local area, but the possibility of importing pork from other places is not ruled out She told reporters that from the place of origin to the designated slaughter place, pigs have to go through a lot of checks First of all, pigs must have their own "ID card" (ear mark) and origin quarantine certificate After the origin quarantine, if the pigs do not have infectious diseases and pests, they will be pulled to the designated slaughterhouse in Yinchuan City (there are two in Yinchuan City, namely the former Yinchuan meat joint factory and Dongmen, which are located near Dongmen paper mill) The slaughtering point shall conduct the second inspection and Quarantine on the live pigs, and then stamp the qualified slaughtered pigs with blue roll seal, and issue the animal meat quality certificate, which is half the size of 32 open paper The staff stressed that the number of pigs slaughtered in Yinchuan city is about 400 every day She reminded consumers to go to special farmers' markets and large supermarkets to buy pork In addition, they can ask for the qualification certificate from the operators Relevant experts said that as long as the pork is healthy and can be eaten safely after high-temperature cooking, consumers do not have to stop eating because of choking, and there is no need to panic about the pork At the same time, the reporter also saw in the East Gate slaughterhouse that some operators pulled five pigs in one cart but slaughtered only one, and the rest of the pigs were pulled back When the reporter asked about the reason, the quarantine personnel helplessly said that they had no choice but to deal with such matters, while the operators had their own reasons They had to wait for a long time to slaughter, and some of them directly pulled back As for how to deal with it, it was not clear In addition, in some very remote rural areas, some farmers slaughtered pigs themselves, or ate or sold them, which became the dead end of inspection and quarantine Quarantine officials pointed out that Yang Weizhong, head of the expert group of the Ministry of health in Ziyang, Sichuan Province, once said that at present, all cases of Streptococcus suis infection are infected in the process of slaughtering and processing dead pigs, and the vast majority of Chinese people do not have access to dead pigs at all Even farmers who have access to sick and dead pigs will not be infected with Streptococcus suis as long as they dig pits and bury or burn dead pigs with lime in accordance with laws and regulations "No slaughtering, no processing, no trafficking, no marketing, no eating dead pigs" is the expert's advice to all people Related links: 1 Explanation of terms: what is Streptococcus suis? Streptococcus suis is a kind of zoonosis, which belongs to the second class animal epidemic disease stipulated by the state The natural infection sites of Streptococcus suis are upper respiratory tract, digestive tract and wound The disease has the characteristics of summer and autumn, humid and sultry weather Sometimes it can even be endemic, with high incidence rate and mortality rate The main symptoms were acute onset, high fever, headache and other systemic toxic symptoms, and severe cases with toxic shock and meningitis as the main clinical manifestations The incubation period of human infection is hours to days, and the average incubation period is 2 to 3 days 2 Expert pulse: healthy pork can be eaten at ease Yang Weizhong, head of the expert group of the Ministry of health, said that the pork that passed the quarantine can be eaten at ease after being processed and cooked At present, there is no evidence that Streptococcus suis can infect people through the digestive tract Separate the raw pork from the cooked pork and cook it thoroughly, which will not only prevent the infection of Streptococcus suis, but also prevent the infection of other diseases (reporter of our newspaper: Xu Rong)
