The Impact Of Coronavirus (COVID-19): Advice For Storage Livestock

With the development of COVID-19, more and more people focus on safety in life. Although there is no evidence to show where the virus comes from, we need to prepare a lot of protection measures as we can, especially for the livestock market.

As human beings, there are some necessary foods for nutrition supply, such as meat, chicken, seafood, meatball, etc. With the background of COVID-19, almost the livestock market has been controlled with rules strictly. After the infection was reported in Beijing, the capital city followed Shanghai in closing all live poultry markets, which also happened in Wuhan, Xiamen, Guangzhou.

The live poultry market is linked to many upstream and downstream links such as breeding, slaughtering and consumption. If the control measures such as cleaning and disinfection are not strict, it is easy to become a place for the storage, proliferation, mutation and spread of viruses such as avian influenza, resulting in the spread of the epidemic. Therefore, strengthening the supervision of the live poultry market and even closing the live poultry trading market are important measures to prevent the spread of bird flu. In the initial stage of H7N9 influenza in 2013, Shanghai, Zhejiang and other places had temporarily closed the ‘live poultry market, which had effectively controlled the epidemic situation, which fully demonstrated the important role of closing the live poultry market in stages.

Based on the practical experience of Shanghai, Zhejiang and other places, many experts and scholars proposed that the live poultry market should be permanently closed to reduce the risk of spread of avian influenza. In response to this problem, during the fifth seasonal wave of human infection with H7N9 flu in early 2017, experts from the health, agriculture and veterinary departments conducted in-depth consultations on this issue. Everyone believes that closing the live poultry trading market is an inevitable direction for the prevention and control of avian influenza, but faces many challenges: First, Chinese residents, especially those in the southern region, have live poultry consumption preferences and strong demand, and consumption habits are difficult to change in a short time. According to relevant surveys, more than two-thirds of residents in the southern region tend to purchase live poultry. Even when the H7N9 epidemic is seriously affected, the willingness to purchase live poultry in the farmers' market still accounts for more than 38%. Secondly, China's yellow feather broiler chickens are seriously inadequately slaughtered, and cold chain transportation and chilled listing systems have not yet been established, making it difficult to meet consumer demand. Third, the emergency shutdown of live poultry markets and other measures taken in some areas are unsustainable. After previous human outbreaks, the emergency shutdown of live poultry markets and other measures adopted by various regions can play a role in reducing the incidence of disease. Most regions of the country are difficult to sustain, and as a result, "underground transactions" and live poultry transactions are transferred to other regions, making it more difficult to monitor. At present, with the introduction of related avian influenza vaccines, the risk of the occurrence of avian influenza in poultry and humans has decreased accordingly, and the urgency to close the live poultry market has decreased accordingly.

Based on the above considerations, on the one hand, we must firmly promote the closing of the live poultry market for the future. Accelerate the implementation of the closing of live poultry markets in urban and rural areas, and promote the circulation and listing of chilled poultry products. Increase support, promote slaughtering and processing, cold chain transportation and the establishment of chilled listing systems, promote the new model of poultry "scale breeding, centralized slaughtering, cold chain transportation and chilled listing" to cultivate residents' consumption habits of chilled poultry meat The live poultry market provides supporting support.

On the other hand, it is necessary to speed up the transformation and upgrading of the live poultry market. For regions that do not have the conditions for a permanent closure of the live poultry market in the short term, responsibilities must be clarified and the "1110" and related systems must be implemented. From a practical point of view, the strict implementation of the "one-day cleaning, one-week disinfection, one-month holiday, and zero inventory overnight" (that is, "1110") system is of great significance for reducing the risk of avian influenza, and must be continued and improved. With the upgrading and upgrading of the live poultry market in place, it has risen from "one-day cleaning, one-week disinfection, one-month rest, zero-night inventory" to "one-day cleaning, one-day disinfection, one-week rest, zero overnight inventory." , Expected to achieve better prevention and control effects.
