The breeding cycle of white feather chicken is short, the meat is tender and easy to split and cook. At present, the domestic aquaculture is very large. Yesterday morning, CCTV exposed that some chicken farms in Shandong illegally used antibiotics and hormones to breed broilers, and provided them to fast food enterprises such as KFC and McDonald's.
In this regard, the reporter called the Shandong Provincial Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau. The staff member said that the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau has set up a steering group to inform relevant local departments to investigate and dispose of the exposure. If the situation is true, it will be handled in strict accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and the results of the investigation will be announced to the public in time.
Shandong is a big province for breeding white feather chickens. During an unannounced visit to the local area, the reporter found that some farmers illegally fed amantadine, ribavirin and other antiviral drugs in order to enable broilers to grow rapidly, and they could grow to 5 kg in 40 days. According to the information provided by official website, a slaughter enterprise, it mainly supplies fast food enterprises such as KFC and McDonald's.
CCTV reporters follow the suppliers of slaughterhouses. After the truck arrived at China Yum! Group Shanghai Logistics Center. Brand, the relevant personnel only unloaded the truck according to the certificate provided by the slaughterhouse, and transported it to the relevant fast food enterprises without re-inspection.
Hundreds of chickens died in a chicken farm overnight.
In a chicken farm in gaomi city, the reporter saw an amazing scene. There are many dead chickens on the ground, and the staff are cleaning them up. The reporter asked about the number of breeders, and he said there were about 200 people. In another chicken farm in Lihuzhuang, Linyi City, the boss Li also told reporters that hundreds of chickens died overnight.
According to reports, these chicken farms are all white feather chickens. This kind of broiler grows fast, usually about 40 days, and it is the fastest growing chicken in the world. The reporter noticed that these chicken farms are brightly lit day and night. A chicken farm owner told reporters that lighting is to let chickens eat more. The greater the intake, the faster the chickens grow. Feeding refers to the non-stop work of white feather chickens every day, and they are in a sub-health state for a long time.
Boss Zhang of Xiaochizhuang Chicken Farm in gaomi city, Weifang told reporters that these chickens can grow from more than 30 grams to six or seven kilograms in 40 days, with an average of five kilograms. Chicken's heart is only the size of thumb, so it is easy to die if it can't bear overload. "It has been in a sub-health state, growing too fast, and the internal organs can't keep up, and sometimes the blood supply can't keep up."
The boss said that raising chickens is a meager profit industry, and a chicken can only earn about 1 yuan on average. In order to obtain greater economic benefits, chicken farms have to increase their feeding capacity, and the chickens in chicken sheds are seriously overloaded. The reporter saw that there are more than 10000 chickens in this 50-meter-long and 15-meter-wide henhouse, which means that 15 chickens should be squeezed in every square meter of space. The bad living environment led to the death of some chickens in poor health.
Chickens grow fast and die less, so medicine should be eaten as food.
In order to reduce the normal death of chickens, each farm has its own set of chicken "tricks". So, what is the secret of raising chickens?
Xu Weiqi, an expert on duty at the Shanghai Agriculture, Rural and Farmers Service Hotline, said that antibiotics could not promote the growth of chickens. The use of antibiotics in livestock and poultry breeding is not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon in the industry. Antibiotics are mainly used to prevent epidemics. However, according to the "Guidelines for the Management of Broiler Feeding" of the Ministry of Agriculture, broilers must stop using all drugs 7 days before slaughter. In addition, according to the regulations of the Ministry of Agriculture on the withdrawal period of veterinary drugs, the withdrawal period of ofloxacin soluble powder is 28 days before slaughter. But in fact, these breeders said that the medicine stopped, and the chicken could not live for two days, so it had to be maintained by medicine.
In addition to stopping using drugs, the reporter also found in the investigation that some chicken farms secretly feed some illegal drugs to chickens in order to further shorten the breeding cycle and make them grow faster. In Yuanjiazhuang chicken farm, the boss feeds the chickens with drugs such as ribavirin. The reporter noticed that these drugs are all for human use. According to China's Regulations on the Administration of Veterinary Drugs, it is forbidden to use drugs for human use in animals. In Xizhengzhuang Chicken Farm in Tengzhou City, the reporter also saw that the chicken farm used the banned veterinary drug "amantadine hydrochloride".
The reporter learned that because chicken farms feed a lot of antibiotics to chickens every day, some bacteria are resistant to antibiotics, and more and more chickens die in the late stage of breeding. Therefore, in order to shorten the feeding cycle, some chicken farms have to feed their chickens with a special medicine.
Zhang, the owner of Xiaochizhuang Chicken Farm in gaomi city, told reporters that he also fed dexamethasone to chickens, ten boxes at a time. According to the boss, dexamethasone can not be eaten until it is fed to chickens for 35 days, and it will have a magical effect immediately after feeding. A chicken can gain more than 22 kg a day, and feeding for 3-5 days can make the chicken gain about 1 kg. The breeder of the chicken farm told the reporter: "These chickens are too big to walk. Too fat to walk. "
The boss told reporters that dexamethasone is a kind of hormone, which is irritating and stimulates chickens to eat more. There are many chicken farms that secretly feed hormones to chickens. At Yuanjiazhuang Chicken Farm in pingdu city, the reporter saw the boss secretly feeding dexamethasone to the chickens.
Shandong multi-sector emergency attack
Yesterday, after the media exposed that "40 days and 5 pounds, white-feather chickens grew so fast", many departments in Shandong Province attached great importance to this and immediately organized relevant personnel to expose enterprises in depth and investigate and verify them according to law.
Yesterday morning, Shandong Provincial Animal Husbandry Bureau immediately held a special meeting, set up a disposal leading group and formed four inspection teams, and went to relevant cities and counties for on-site supervision on 1 1 in the morning. Relevant cities and counties immediately took action to organize animal husbandry and veterinary departments, public security departments and other departments to expose enterprises in depth and investigate and verify them according to law.
The leaders of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government quickly made clear instructions, requiring relevant cities, counties and departments to quickly organize investigations and verifications, deal with them seriously according to law, and respond to social concerns in a timely manner. At the same time, it is required to further strengthen the supervision of livestock and poultry breeding, severely crack down on illegal activities such as illegal addition and abuse of veterinary drugs, and prevent similar incidents from happening again.
The US Food and Drug Administration in Shanghai intervened in the investigation.
In response to media reports that some farms in Shandong "fast-growing chickens" flowed into Yum! Brands Shanghai Logistics Center. For the brand that has not been tested, the department of the US Food and Drug Administration in Shanghai said on June 5438+08 that it had organized supervisors to conduct spot checks on its products at the first time to comprehensively check its source and self-inspection, and relevant tests were under way.
According to the preliminary investigation of the US Food and Drug Administration in Shanghai, Yum! Brands Shanghai Logistics Center purchased the last batch of broiler raw materials from Liuhe Group in May this year, and it has been sold out. The regulatory authorities have taken 32 samples of 8 varieties from the existing inventory of the logistics center for relevant testing, and the results can be obtained within 3 working days at the earliest. If food safety problems are found, they will be severely punished according to law.
According to the data of the US Food and Drug Administration in Shanghai, 450 samples of poultry meat were sampled in Shanghai this year, and the antibiotics exceeded the standard 19. All of them were investigated and no hormones were detected.
KFC 18, a brand of Yum! Brands Group, through the official Weibo, responded that KFC stopped purchasing chicken raw materials from Liuhe Group in August this year according to the principle of weakening and retaining strength. After purchasing, KFC conducts random inspection of drug residues in all chicken raw materials, inspects suppliers every year, including feed logs and medication records, and conducts annual qualification review.
Xiao Yonghong, a professor at Zhejiang First Hospital:
Animals use these anti-crude drugs.
Will lead to no medicine available to humans.
It is understood that amantadine and ribavirin are antiviral drugs banned from animals.
As early as 2005, the Ministry of Agriculture issued the Emergency Notice on Inspection of Antiviral Drugs such as amantadine, which clearly stipulated that the sale and use of antiviral veterinary drugs such as amantadine and ribavirin were prohibited.
Dexamethasone is an adrenocortical drug. Long-term and large-scale use will lead to animal weight gain and obesity. China's "Regulations on the Administration of Veterinary Drugs" clearly stipulates that it is forbidden to add hormone drugs to feed and animal drinking water.
Xiao Yonghong, a professor at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University, said that a large number of antibiotics remain in animals and will enter the human body with food. If super drug-resistant bacteria are produced in the body, it will have a great impact on the human body. He said: "We found clinically that it is useless to take medicine when many people are sick. Before, we thought the patient was taking antibiotics indiscriminately. Now it seems that the pharmaceutical ingredients in food also have great factors. "
Xiao Yonghong found that in some veterinary drugs, there are as many as five or six kinds of antibiotics, and even some high-grade antibiotics, such as daptomycin, have appeared, so people can't use them casually. He said: "These medicines are used by dying patients and are the last line of defense for mankind. Turns out it's all for chickens. The use of such advanced anti-crude drugs by animals will lead to no medicine available to humans. "
Xinhua Micro-comment: The "Fast Chicken" with antibiotic inflation was born, and the China food "poison thriller" was a sequel. Is "chicken" really just the moral decay of unscrupulous farmers and businesses? After the incident was exposed, the relevant departments conducted an investigation "at the first time", and we couldn't help but throw out the "thousand questions" again: What did you do before? !
Netizen "an an antury": If you catch a cold in the future, just eat a hamburger?
Netizen "old boys": I suggest giving these unscrupulous enterprises a fatal blow this time to see who dares to challenge our health in the future! What is the bottom line for enterprises? Come out and apologize after introspection, and then we'll eat. China people should cherish their health!
