Mainly includes:
1, strictly issued a "prohibition of alcohol".
In aquaculture, the use of antibiotics is a controversial issue, and it is not uncommon for animal and human pathogens to develop drug resistance. While the aquaculture industry is still discussing whether to ban "antibiotic feeding", the Ministry of Agriculture has issued an announcement to directly ban four kinds of "antibiotic use" of food animals.
"In order to ensure the quality and safety of livestock products and public health safety, the Ministry of Agriculture has organized the safety evaluation of some veterinary drugs. After evaluation, it is considered that the salts and esters of Lomefloxacin, Pefloxacin, Ofloxacin and Norfloxacin and their preparations may be harmful to aquaculture and human health or have potential risks. According to Article 69 of the Regulations on the Administration of Veterinary Drugs, the Ministry decided to stop the use of four veterinary drugs, namely Lomefloxacin, Pefloxacin, Ofloxacin and Norfloxacin, in edible animals, and revoke the approval number of the relevant veterinary drugs. "
Are you still talking about adding antibiotics to livestock and poultry farming? Look at the policy! These four kinds of antibiotics commonly used by human beings can not be used not only during feeding, but also during treatment! All relevant veterinary drug products are discontinued, and the approval number is invalid (including the new approval number of 20 15)!
2. The scientific pertinence of the "Prohibition Order"
Although this "anti-drug resistance order" banned four antibiotics in one step, it was indeed very rigorous, scientific and targeted.
2. 1 are four antibiotics commonly used by people and animals.
Lomefloxacin, pefloxacin, ofloxacin and norfloxacin belong to the basic fluoroquinolones in the third generation of quinolones, which have strong antibacterial effect and good pharmacokinetic effect. They are widely used in various infections caused by sensitive strains and occupy an important position in human health care. If drug-resistant strains are produced when food animals are widely used, it will do great harm to human beings. This potential threat cannot be ignored, and other countries are gradually banning antibiotics in food animals. The "prohibition order" is aimed at these four kinds of drugs, but there is no one-size-fits-all approach, and other drugs can still be used instead in animal diagnosis and treatment.
2.2 Food animals and non-food animals are treated separately.
We can notice that this "prohibition order" specifically states "edible animals" and treats "non-edible animals" differently, especially companion animals (we often call them "pets"), whose feeding, diagnosis and treatment purposes and significance are different, and allowing the use of different drugs is the embodiment of humanization and scientificity of the policy.
The difference between "food animals" and "non-food animals" also affects the change of product specifications. If the "non-edible animals" are used in time, they must be approved and indicated in the "scope of use".
2.3 Given a certain buffer period.
The Prohibition Order states, "From February 3, 20 15, the production of various salts, esters and preparations of Lomefloxacin, Pefloxacin, Ofloxacin and Norfloxacin for edible animals will be stopped, and the approval number of veterinary drug products of relevant enterprises will be revoked at the same time. Products produced before 2015 65438+February 3 1 can be used in circulation before 2016 65438+February 3 1. " "It has stopped operating since 20 16, 12 and 3 1."
This gives veterinary drug production enterprises, circulation enterprises and breeding enterprises a buffer period, allowing enterprises to digest raw materials and products in stock and reduce losses.
In fact, as early as 2009, the Ministry of Agriculture began to gradually cancel the approval numbers of these four types of antibiotic-related products, so the ban was not sudden.
3. Changes that aquaculture and veterinary medicine industries must face.
The development of aquaculture directly affects national health and economic development, and "non-resistance" is the general trend. Aquaculture, feed industry, veterinary medicine industry and related industries must adapt to this trend. With the development of the times, the backward and inferior will be eliminated. Every year, many jobs become history, just like many species become extinct.
Production and sales enterprises stop production and marketing, and veterinary drug prescriptions change (many commonly used drugs contain or contain these four ingredients), which is a direct change of this "prohibition order", but it may be a prelude. Based on the fact that the approval number of veterinary drugs has been cancelled before, it is still unknown whether edible animals will be gradually and completely banned.
4. Seize the opportunity to develop.
Perhaps this "prohibition of alcohol" has caused losses to many enterprises, but some enterprises have already begun to prepare, and this ban is a rare opportunity.
4. 1 provides a stage for more products.
There are many antibiotic substitutes in the market, and some manufacturers (marine organisms) already have mature products, such as shrimp synbiotics, red fungus corps, immune warriors, intestinal gill fortresses, probiotics, probiotics, enzyme preparations, peptide preparations and so on. The appearance of the "resistance order" is undoubtedly a huge driving force for product promotion and sales, and the market prospect is considerable!
The rapid detection products of these four drugs will also have a broad market.
4.2 New product direction-research and development of special antibiotics for edible animals
In addition to antibiotic substitutes, edible animal-specific antibiotics can also become the direction of product research and development, opening up a new world for scientific research and market.
4.3 The gospel of immune products-"prevention" has become more important.
There are many substitute products for antibiotic feeding, but antibiotics are inevitably needed for the treatment of some livestock and poultry diseases. The best way to reduce or avoid drug use is to prevent diseases. Our magazine Animal Health in China has always adhered to the concept of "nip in the bud". Healthy feeding and prevention are more important than treatment, and vaccine immunization is the most commonly used in the first stage of prevention. The "prohibition of alcohol" will make aquaculture enterprises pay more attention to the immune effect, which is undoubtedly a great opportunity for vaccine enterprises to show their product strength!
Above, my humble opinion on the new policy is only for attracting jade. Welcome more friends to explain your point of view!
The original text of the announcement of the Prohibition Order is as follows:
Announcement No.2292 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Ministry of Agriculture

According to the provisions of Article 69 of the Regulations on the Administration of Veterinary Drugs, our department decided to stop using Lomefloxacin, Pefloxacin, Ofloxacin and Norfloxacin in edible animals, and revoke the approval number of relevant veterinary drugs. The relevant matters are hereby announced as follows.
1. From the date of this announcement, except for products used for non-edible animals, applications for approval numbers of various salts and esters of Lomefloxacin, Pefloxacin, Ofloxacin and Norfloxacin and their preparations shall be stopped.
