Practical and feasible regulatory measures should be formulated from aspects such as the access to the poultry slaughter industry, the implementation of corporate responsibility, the establishment of statutory production and operation system standards, the construction of corporate integrity systems, and the establishment of official supervision models, in order to create a regulatory model for the poultry slaughter industry that is "clear in responsibility, detailed in industry standards, and strong in official supervision."
3.1 Strict access system for poultry slaughter enterprises
Implement a designated access system for poultry slaughter, and based on the review of animal epidemic prevention conditions, formulate stricter and more detailed industry access standards, and establish clear standards for site selection, facility construction, production equipment, and quality control. Use expert group reviews and third-party audits to enhance the fairness, openness, and scientific nature of access to the poultry industry, thereby improving the standards and degree of standardization in the poultry slaughter industry from the source. For small slaughterhouses (points) that cannot obtain qualifications, administrative enforcement measures should be taken to shut them down, and legal penalties should be imposed on those who refuse to comply.
3.2 Encourage small slaughter enterprises to upgrade
Introduce incentive measures to rectify and upgrade some small poultry slaughter enterprises, improve their hardware facilities, standardize and optimize production processes, and provide training to enhance personnel skills, enabling them to meet the standards of standardized poultry slaughter enterprises. Reward and subsidy policies can be introduced, and measures such as credit support and government guarantees can be used to guide small enterprises to increase investment in upgrades and renovations.
3.3 Establish standards for live poultry market construction
Based on the actual situation in various regions, choose management measures for live poultry markets that are suitable for local conditions. For those that can be completely banned and implement centralized slaughtering, they should be resolutely banned to eliminate live poultry slaughtering activities within urban areas, ensuring food safety and biosecurity. For those that are not suitable for banning, comprehensive standards for live poultry market construction should be developed, considering industrial development, environmental protection, logistics, and biosecurity requirements. Encourage the construction of comprehensive poultry trading markets that integrate live poultry slaughtering, processing, and fresh poultry product trading and logistics distribution, create brands, and explore a "point-to-point connection" mechanism between production areas and poultry wholesale markets, effectively achieving continuity and traceability in disease prevention and control from immunization quarantine at the production site to slaughter prevention and control.
3.4 Integrate and optimize official supervisory personnel resources
Due to the severe shortage of grassroots animal husbandry and veterinary supervisory personnel, while actively seeking policies to increase personnel quotas, existing personnel resources should be optimized. A model of "official veterinarians + inspectors" can be adopted to ensure the official supervisory team, and a synchronized integration model of poultry slaughter quarantine and meat quality inspection can be used to improve inspection efficiency, save supervisory personnel resources, and achieve full coverage of supervision.
3.5 Implement the primary responsibility of enterprises for livestock product safety
Clarify the primary responsibility of slaughter enterprises for product quality and safety from a legal perspective, introduce or amend relevant legal provisions, and include slaughter enterprises as the primary responsible party for livestock product safety in the legal text, clearly defining the legal responsibilities of producers. Establish and improve the poultry slaughter production and operation system. For example, formulate regulations and standards such as the "Poultry Slaughter Regulations," "Hygiene Standards for Poultry Slaughter Enterprises," and "Quality Standards for Poultry Meat Products" to ensure that product quality is measured by statutory standards.
3.6 Strengthen law enforcement supervision
Localities should include the poultry slaughter industry in the focus of supervision, and carry out a series of supervisory law enforcement activities targeting large-scale enterprises, small slaughterhouses (points), and markets for live poultry slaughtering, cracking down on illegal activities, standardizing normal slaughtering order, and forming a deterrent effect of administrative law enforcement.
3.7 Establish an integrity system for poultry slaughter enterprises
Establish integrity files for poultry slaughter enterprises. Include the acquisition of enterprise licenses, results of daily supervision inspections, product sampling results, and handling of illegal activities as part of the integrity file, and disclose this information to the public through effective means. Establish a "black and red" list system, publish a "blacklist" for dishonest enterprises, revoke qualifications, and prohibit applications for project subsidies, bank loans, etc. For honest and trustworthy enterprises, increase external publicity efforts, issue "Honest and Trustworthy Enterprise" certificates, and actively seek project support.
3.8 Increase support for the poultry slaughter industry
Support the poultry slaughter industry in terms of finance, finance, and taxation, such as formulating subsidy policies for the upgrading and renovation of slaughter enterprises, the construction of self-inspection laboratories, and harmless treatment. Strengthen research on the development of the poultry slaughter industry, establish an association of poultry slaughter enterprises, fully utilize the role of industry associations, and provide timely warnings and predictions on the development trends of the poultry slaughter industry, actively offering suggestions to regulatory authorities for scientifically formulating and improving poultry slaughter standards, laws, and systems.
3.9 Play the proper role of the poultry slaughter industry association
The poultry slaughter industry association should strengthen industry self-discipline under the business guidance of agricultural administrative departments and assist in the relevant business work of live poultry trading and slaughtering. Strengthen research on the development of the poultry slaughter industry, establish an association of poultry slaughter enterprises, fully utilize the role of industry associations, and provide timely warnings and predictions on the development trends of the poultry slaughter industry, actively offering suggestions to regulatory authorities for scientifically formulating and improving poultry slaughter standards, laws, and systems.
