Transporting piglets and breeding pigs against laws and regulations
Start special remediation actions
Wei Hongyang, deputy director of the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that the development intensity and losses of the African swine fever epidemic have dropped significantly this year.
He introduced that since March this year, 13 outbreaks of African swine fever have been reported nationwide, 12 of which involve domestic pigs, and 12 outbreaks have killed a total of 1313 live pigs. The number of outbreaks in the same period last year was 24 outbreaks. There were 240,200 live pigs.
"Our basic judgment is that the current African swine fever epidemic is controllable. Of course, due to the African swine fever epidemic that has occurred in various provinces, there is a large pollution area, and now that pig production continues to resume development, related transportation Activities will continue to increase, so the risk of an epidemic may also increase. We have always maintained a high degree of vigilance against hidden risks. "
He introduced that recently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs specifically conducted an in-depth analysis of these 12 domestic pig epidemic situations. "One common feature is that most of them are related to illegally transporting piglets and breeding pigs. The pigs involved do not wear ear tags and do not have animal quarantine certificates. Among them, there are 9 vehicles that have been recorded but not documented, and Four cases involved illegal merchants borrowing online platforms for transactions. "He said that illegal and illegal acts are very concealed and the nature is very bad, which is a typical illegal and criminal act. It is reported that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has taken joint actions with the public security, transportation and other departments to seriously investigate and punish the various violations mentioned above. From April 1, a 60-day special rectification action against illegal transfers was launched.
At the same time, it monitors the nationwide hog online trading platform, and conducts inspections and investigations of abnormal behaviors such as apparently low prices.
"We have dispatched a supervision team to the key provinces in the south, and it is now gone. We are preparing to carry out a one-month supervision work, mainly to supervise the localities to further compact their responsibilities, and further implement the policies on hog production and African swine fever prevention and control Measures, at the same time in the process of coordinating with local authorities to solve and identify problems that have been found in the process of reform and establishment.
