Does African swine fever prohibit raising pigs in rural areas?

The government has not stipulated that pigs cannot be raised in rural areas, but it is strictly forbidden to raise pigs with kitchen waste in rural areas.

On the afternoon of October 8th, 2065438+2009/kloc-0, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs organized a national long-distance training meeting on the prevention and control of African swine fever, focusing on implementing the main responsibility of animal epidemic prevention and strengthening the epidemic prevention management of large-scale pig farms and breeding pig farms, and redeploying and re-implementing the national prevention and control work.

Pig farmers should resolutely overcome the fluky psychology, strictly implement the main responsibility of animal epidemic prevention, and consciously accept the supervision and inspection of the veterinary department. It is necessary to further improve the epidemic prevention system, strictly clean and disinfect vehicle personnel, put an end to the use of kitchen residues to feed pigs, and resolutely block the spread of the epidemic.

It is necessary to strengthen personnel training, standardize the epidemic investigation report, and never allow the epidemic to be concealed. At the same time, it is necessary to improve the predictability of the market supply situation, seize the opportunity, actively fill the column, stabilize the sow stock, and properly arrange the pig production.

Yu, Vice Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, pointed out that with the joint efforts of all parties, the epidemic situation in China was sporadic, and the occurrence momentum began to slow down, and the epidemic situation was generally controllable.

The market supply of pork products is sufficient and the price continues to be stable. But at the same time, we should also see that the traditional farming structure is difficult to fundamentally change in a short period of time, the transmission route of the epidemic is complex, and the prevention and control situation is still complicated and severe. We must continue to strengthen our confidence and fight a protracted war to prevent and control African swine fever.

Extended data:

In order to standardize the farming behavior in rural areas and promote the protection of rural farmers' living environment, the state began to levy environmental protection tax on farming activities nationwide, which can be said to be the most stringent collection in history.

Therefore, from this year on, farmers can no longer raise pigs casually. If they must engage in this reproductive behavior, they must meet the following four conditions, which is the greatest protection for their own interests:

First: in the non-restricted area

According to the environmental protection tax regulations promulgated by the state at the beginning of this year, it is not allowed to engage in related farming activities in prohibited farming areas, even in suitable farming areas, it must be able to meet the requirements of environmental protection for farming, that is, the farming facilities must be reformed, otherwise the farming activities will be directly terminated. Therefore, farmers must raise pigs in suitable or restricted areas.

Second: apply for the relevant breeding certificate.

With the country's stricter management of rural land, it is no longer as simple for rural farmers to build farms as in the past, but they need to apply for relevant documents before they can be allowed to engage in farming.

Documents generally include land use certificate, proof of animal epidemic prevention conditions, production and business license, farm registration procedures, etc.

Third: pay environmental taxes.

Farmers who pay environmental protection taxes must be able to actively abide by state regulations and pay environmental protection taxes. Generally speaking, it is aimed at pig farmers with more than 500 heads, and the tax is paid in 2.5 yuan/head.

Fourth: try to stay away from the densely populated residential areas of the village.

Although the state does not explicitly stipulate that farming is not allowed near rural residential areas, many farmers have been punished and their farms have been demolished because of reports from nearby villagers. Therefore, trying to stay away from the densely populated residential areas in the village is to protect your own interests.
