Key Work Points for Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine in Nanjing in 2017
In 2017, the city's animal husbandry and veterinary work revolved around the building of the national modern agriculture demonstration zone, adhered to taking the transformation of the development mode as the main line, took green development as the guide, highlighted scientific and technological innovation, coordinated ecological protection and stable supply, strengthened the comprehensive utilization of livestock waste, enhanced animal disease prevention and control capacity, strengthened supervision of the quality and safety of livestock products, and promoted the sustained, stable and green development of the animal husbandry industry.
This year, the city added 8 provincial-level livestock ecological healthy breeding demonstration farms, the proportion of large and medium-sized scale pig breeding in the city increased by 2 percentage points, and the treatment rate of large-scale livestock and poultry farms (communities) reached over 60%. The density of compulsory vaccination for major animal diseases reached 100%, and the average qualified rate of immune antibodies reached over 80%, ensuring that no regional major animal epidemic occurs and no major livestock product quality and safety incident or slaughter quality and safety accident occurs.
1. Adjust the production structure of the animal husbandry industry.
Optimize the layout of the animal husbandry industry, focus on cultivating family farms and building intensive large-scale breeding farms, continuously optimize the structure of large-scale breeding through rectification, transformation and upgrading, guide the transfer of livestock and poultry breeding to non-prohibited areas and areas with lower breeding density, and continuously optimize the structure of large-scale breeding. Guided by the market and centered on supply-side structural reform, further adjust and optimize the breed structure of the animal husbandry industry, stabilize the level of pig production, expand high-quality poultry breeding, encourage poultry breeding enterprises to develop clean egg production, build independent brands and increase brand awareness. Actively promote the development and utilization of local livestock and poultry breeds, develop special livestock and poultry production such as meat pigeons, rex rabbits and bees according to local conditions, give play to the role of associations, accelerate brand cultivation and technology promotion, and strengthen the specialty livestock and poultry industry. Encourage the development of deep processing of livestock and poultry products, develop brand chain operations, and extend and expand the industrial chain of livestock and poultry products.
2. Develop ecological and healthy breeding.

Encourage small-scale breeding farms and households with a relatively good economic foundation and relatively high technical level to expand scale, raise their grade and level, expand “company + family farm” cooperative operations, and develop a number of modern large-scale breeding enterprises with a high degree of intensification and closely integrated crop-livestock whole-industry-chain operations. Promote healthy breeding models such as crop-livestock integration and fermentation bed breeding according to local conditions, and build a new type of planting and breeding structure that balances grain and feed, integrates crop and livestock, and develops cyclically. By the end of 2017, the proportion of large and medium-sized scale pig breeding in the city will increase by 2 percentage points. Support large-scale livestock and poultry farms in carrying out standardized production transformation and intelligent facility upgrading, and improve the level of automation and intelligence in livestock and poultry production. Deeply carry out the creation of livestock ecological healthy breeding demonstrations. In 2017, the city will add 8 livestock ecological healthy breeding demonstration bases, give play to the leading and radiating role of demonstrations, and focus on improving the level of standardized production.
