The new Regulations on the Administration of Feed and Feed Additives will be implemented on 1 May

Introduction: from May 1, the new "feed and feed additive management regulations" (hereinafter referred to as "Regulations") will be implemented"According to the new regulations, feed dealers will not be able to process and prepare feed for farmers, nor will they be allowed to unpack and sell bulk feed separatelyIn addition, the feed prepared by the farmers themselves cannot be sold to the outside world" Zhang Yongfa, deputy director of Guangdong feed work office, recently mentioned one of the new regulations in an interview with Southern Rural daily53d learned that in the process of animal breeding, the phenomenon of breeders not using feed and feed additives according to the regulations, adding "lean meat essence" and other prohibited substances to the feed occurred from time to time, directly affecting the quality and safety of animal productsIn order to further regulate the safe use of feed and feed additives, prevent illegal addition, and ensure the quality and safety of animal products, the new regulations strengthen the management of self prepared feed in particular, and stipulate that if the breeders use self prepared feed, they shall abide by the use specifications of self prepared feed and shall not provide it to the outside worldIt is understood that there are many small-scale feed distributors mainly engaged in beating and mixing materials who are still unaware of the new feed regulations to be implementedLi Juhua, owner of a feed shop in Huazhou, seems to have heard such news for the first time from reportersRecently, when visiting Zengcheng District, the reporter found that there are still many feed stores that help farmers to make materials and ingredients without stopThe owners of these stores do not know that this will become an "illegal" behavior from May 1The same thing happened in Boluo, Shaoguan and Maoming"Most of the feed shops that sell ingredients are owned by pig farmers!" Sun Yuhang, the sales manager of Shenzhen Jiaxin Feed Co., Ltd., who is active in Boluo area all year round, told Nanfang rural daily that the original intention of many of these feed stores is that the owners of pig farms provide ingredients and beating services for small-scale farmers who do not have beating equipment nearby for their own convenience53d according to the reporter, many non self breeding farmers have become dependent on this kind of feed shop"We don't have the equipment, we don't have the plan to switch to the full price feed temporarilyAll the feed is purchased and prepared from the adjacent feed shop." Cheng Genlian, a farmer in Sanjiang, Zengcheng, told Southern Rural dailyIn fact, there are many farmers smaller than chenggenlianFor them, corn, soybean meal, premix and other raw materials are mainly purchased from the local feed shop "Since they bought them here, they will simply process them here, and they will provide us with the prepared materials." 53d feed shop provides machine processing, and farmers are willing to accept this personalized service of "beating and mixing materials on demand" Over time, it has formed a fixed supply and marketing mode, and selling self ingredients has become the main business of these feed shops It is understood that feed shops provide feed processing services to farmers, but do not specifically charge processing fees, but spread the relevant fees into the cost of raw materials Feed shops obtain stable customer sources by providing processing services, and farmers also save the trouble of purchasing raw materials by themselves, and both parties have their own place 53D cooperatives can regulate the internal ingredients of 53D relative to the small "husband and wife shop" step by step, the larger scale of the feed shop has been prepared for the new rules 53d is in the area of western Guangdong where the market competition of full price feed is fierce Many feed distributors have transformed into traders of full price feed factories "We have hundreds of feed stores here, many of which used to sell their own ingredients, but now they have basically turned into full price ingredients, less than three of which do their own ingredients." A dealer surnamed Huang in Yangchun told Nanfang rural daily 53d in other areas, many large and medium-sized feed dealers are trying to obtain "legal identity" - feed production license According to the regulations, feed distributors only need to meet the three hardware conditions in the twenty-second article of the new regulations, namely, there are business premises and storage facilities suitable for the operation of feed and feed additives; there are technical personnel with knowledge of the use and storage of feed and feed additives; and there are necessary product quality management and safety management systems You can apply for a feed production license from a higher authority Those who manage feed need to be put on record in the province, while those who manage feed additives need to be put on record in the Ministry of agriculture Some insiders said that in fact, the feed production license is not difficult for some large and standard feed distributors to obtain, after all, their daily processing volume is equivalent to a small feed factory In addition to the hardware requirements for the "legal status" of feed business enterprises, Article 23 of the new regulations also stipulates that feed and feed additive business operators shall not unpack or repack feed and feed additives, or reprocess or add any substance to feed and feed additives It is prohibited to operate feeds produced with any substance other than the catalogue of feed raw materials, the catalogue of feed additives and the catalogue of drug feed additives published by the competent agricultural administrative department of the State Council Therefore, many people in the industry interpret this provision of the regulations as the state's intensified control over the circulation of illegal drugs such as antibiotics In addition, some people of Maoming feed industry association compare the new regulation's standardized management of feed shops to "GSP of feed management enterprises" Many people think that, similar to GSP of veterinary medicine, this is a process from "feed shop" to "feed management enterprise" Bao Fang, director of marketing center of Wangda group, which mainly deals with premix, believes that feed dealers can establish feed supply and marketing cooperatives with farmers to make standardized and unified ingredients after the promulgation of the regulations Zhang Yongfa also said that this "cooperative" approach is conducive to feed standardization, but also conducive to the supervision of higher regulatory authorities 53D
