The reporter learned from the Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau on July 14 that live livestock and poultry for Hong Kong will have radio frequency identification (RFID) electronic tags. With this kind of “identity card”, problems with animals supplied to Hong Kong can not only be traced back to the corresponding registration site, but also the specific conditions of each pig and each chicken’s breeding, transit and export quarantine can be inquired, which is of real significance. The food safety management objectives of the whole process from “farm” to “dining table” on the above have further ensured the safety of food supplied to Hong Kong.
It is understood that the electronic label of live animals for Hong Kong is a newly developed scientific research result of the Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau. The subject is named as a major project in the “Eleventh Five-Year” National Science and Technology Support Plan “Key Technologies for Food Safety”-“Supply to Hong Kong” Research on Quality Control Technology of Food Safety Early Warning and Whole Process Traceability of Origin”. According to experts from Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, this scientific research project has developed traceable positioning and wirelessly connected mobile terminals (MID) for the safety inspection of livestock and poultry supplied to Hong Kong, and developed radio frequency identification (RFID) middleware, smart identifiers, and RFID. Gantry readers and portable animal electronic data channel collectors have established real-time and fast data collection, processing and transmission mechanisms, forming a demonstration model for the full traceability of live pigs and chickens to Hong Kong based on RFID technology. At the same time, liquid-phase chip detection methods for animal diseases such as avian influenza and Newcastle disease and veterinary drug residues such as chloramphenicol, clenbuterol and ractopamine have also been established; detections of nitrofurantoin metabolites, avian influenza antibody titers and foot-and-mouth disease have also been established Kits and screening methods; the research and development of animal disease detection methods, chloramphenicol, b-receptor agonist ELISA screening methods and instrument verification methods have been applied and compared with inspection and quarantine institutions in the Mainland and Hong Kong to ensure The safety of livestock and poultry food for Hong Kong provides a technical basis. The project has so far applied for 5 national invention patents; developed 7 rapid test kits, and established a set of rapid warnings for Hong Kong livestock and poultry from piglet (chicken), breeding, management, transportation, port inspection and arrival at Hong Kong supermarkets. Full traceability and innovative supervision model of timely response and quality control.
It is understood that the project has established 3 pig demonstration areas for Hong Kong in Henan and Hunan, and 1 live chicken demonstration area for Hong Kong in Shenzhen. In the Qingshuihe transit warehouse in Shenzhen, whenever live pigs from Hunan Xinwufeng pig farm and Henan foreign trade Zhongmu pig farm with RFID electronic tags on their ears pass through the unloading channel, the monitors hung on the warehouse walls will show up. The status of live pigs supplied to Hong Kong is displayed one by one in real time. In the same way, whenever live chickens from Shenzhen Huabao Chicken Farm come out, through the electronic tags affixed to the chicken coop, the relevant status of all chickens will be transmitted to the monitoring display in real time, which records each pig in detail ( Chicken) all the conditions from birth to export to Hong Kong, such as birth, feed, immunization, epidemic prevention and medication management, etc.
At present, the research project has passed the acceptance of an expert group organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. Experts said that the study carried out a comprehensive demonstration of safety early warning and full traceability of livestock and poultry in food supplied to Hong Kong. The demonstration route covered all links from the source of production to Hong Kong supermarkets in the Mainland and Hong Kong. The early warning and traceability technology was mature, not only The national livestock and poultry safety early warning and comprehensive demonstration for Hong Kong supply provide a reference, and the platform created by the demonstration can provide a rapid early warning and emergency mechanism for all food supply to Hong Kong and the creation of a full traceability mechanism to ensure the safety of Hong Kong food and protect the health of Hong Kong citizens , Lay a solid foundation for maintaining Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability.
