Recently, nearly 1,000 pigs in our city's Kangruida breeding professional cooperative want to be exported to ensure the Spring Festival market, and the city animal disease control and diagnosis center needs to issue an African swine fever detection report. In accordance with the requirements of animal disease prevention and control, the Municipal Animal Disease Control and Diagnosis Center needs to conduct sampling testing according to the sampling ratio of 1:10. "In order to ensure that these pigs can be sold to all parts of the country in a timely and smooth manner, my colleagues and I must work continuously for more than 6 hours, and complete the testing tasks accurately and scientifically, and provide test reports with legal effect that can withstand the re-inspection of testing institutions at all levels. Li Ruoxia said. If the countryside is to be revitalized, the industry must be revitalized. In recent years, animal husbandry has become the pillar industry of the city's agriculture and rural economy and the main way for farmers to increase income, especially the pig industry has gradually become the key industry of animal husbandry in our city. While the city's animal husbandry industry is showing a good development trend, how to better ensure the quality and safety of livestock and poultry products is particularly important. As the first line of defense for food safety, animal epidemic prevention and quarantine is related to biosecurity, production safety, ecological safety and food quality safety, and is the cornerstone of the healthy and long-term development of animal husbandry. "Although the animal quarantine work is cumbersome, we can overcome it. We will, as always, adhere to accurate sampling and scientific testing to ensure that every pig is healthy and safe, which is not only responsible for consumers, but also escorts the healthy development of Karamay's local animal husbandry. Li Ruoxia said. Through fluorescence quantitative PCR technology, the nucleic acid of African swine fever virus was detected, and Li Ruoxia and her colleagues successfully completed 100 African swine fever pathogen detection tasks. The test results showed that all the samples tested were negative and qualified. "Pig inspection is just part of our day-to-day work. With the Spring Festival approaching, the consumer demand for livestock and poultry products is gradually entering a peak, and we will strengthen the quality and safety monitoring of livestock and poultry products before the Spring Festival to ensure that everyone can eat at ease and eat safely. Li Ruoxia said, "We will also adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, conscientiously implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition on the work of 'three rural', and continuously strengthen animal immunization and disinfection, disease monitoring, emergency response, etc., based on our own positions, and strive to lay a solid foundation for the high-quality development of animal husbandry in our city, and escort the stable supply of livestock and poultry products." ”
