What Is the Poultry Industry?

Poultry industry is a production business that raises poultry. It is an integral part of animal husbandry. The main content is raising chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, pigeons and quails. Compared with raising livestock such as pigs and sheep, it has the advantages of short production cycle, high feed conversion rate and less investment. Poultry industry is one of the earliest agricultural activities in China. At the same time, China is also one of the earliest countries in the world to raise poultry. At present, China's poultry industry is wide in scope but small in scale and backward in breeding methods, and needs further development. ^[1]

Problems with the poultry industry

China is the world's largest producer of poultry eggs and poultry meat. With the continuous rise of large-scale breeding farms and breeding communities outside the village, the number of laying hens has been increasing. At the same time that the breeding volume has been increasing, a series of problems have also occurred, leading to a decline in the economic benefits of the poultry industry and even continuous The main reasons for the loss are as follows:

I. Unreasonable breeding layout and lack of professional knowledge of breeders: In recent years, a large number of breeding communities and large-scale farms have been built in various places. They are not constructed according to scientific distances. In addition, the breeder does not understand the professional knowledge, and some employ so-called "technicians" from all walks of life to be responsible for the breeding technology. They do not follow the immunization procedures prescribed by the state, and there is a hidden danger of a major animal epidemic. Some veterinary drug manufacturers also use various methods to publicize breeding methods that are beneficial to the enterprise, and guide large-scale breeders to not accept seedlings supplied by the state. They must buy certain vaccines, which seriously disrupts animal disease prevention and control.

Second, large-scale breeding farms and poultry farms do not pay attention to the prevention and control of major epidemics: in order to develop the breeding industry, it is necessary to control important infectious diseases. However, many breeding farms and even poultry farms only set out for immediate benefits, focusing only on several major infectious diseases in front of them. They do not prevent and control other major epidemics, do not adopt purification and elimination methods, and only sell one egg and one egg. Eventually the breeder was eliminated early. At the same time, it will cause undue losses to the breeder of commercial chickens.

Solutions for the poultry industry

I. It is recommended that animal health management agencies at all levels establish a strict approval system for feeding communities. To improve the requirements that do not meet the requirements, establish a file management system for the technicians of large-scale farms and households, accept the management of the local animal health management department, establish a registration management and inspection system for companies selling veterinary drugs in the region, and strictly implement national regulations. Regulations for immunization.

Second, strengthen the detection and purification system of various major diseases of poultry, if there are major diseases, they must be purified. Such as "avian salmonellosis, Marek's disease, coccidiosis, myeloblastic leukemia, and avian reticuloendothelial tissue proliferation disease." These infectious diseases are extremely harmful in broiler breeding, and have seriously endangered the breeding of commercial broilers, causing insecurity Due loss.

3. Animal health departments at all levels should often provide training on national laws, regulations and professional knowledge to the persons in charge and technical staff of large-scale breeding farms. Strengthen the training of technicians in the regional institutes, ensure that there are certain professional and technical personnel in each region to participate in the supervision of large-scale households and communities, and practically combine professional supervision with administrative supervision to comprehensively, systematically, and professionally raise breeding communities and poultry farms. management. ^[2]
