The Ministry of Agriculture announced on the same day that the National Feed Quality Inspection Center had arranged for Lijin County to carry out the detection of mutton sheep “clenbuterol”.

â–  Handling the deputy head of the county to lead the team to investigate lean meat fines Last night, Li Qingxian deputy magistrate Liu Qingbin said that there are indeed some omissions in the part of crushing supervision. Yesterday, the county has set up three working groups. Starting today, he will lead the working group to conduct household inspections of farmers across the county.

The working group on high-speed roads will also set inspection posts at traffic intersections such as the expressway to prevent slaughtered slaughter or sale of live sheep by slaughtered larvae so as to prevent the problem sheep from entering the market. Liu Qingbin said that this is a loophole in the previous strict management.

Liu Qingbin said that while checking the county farmers one by one, the working group also investigated market regulators on the issue of “detecting unqualified sheep can still get home”. If law enforcement officers are found to have violated law enforcement procedures, they will be held accountable.

According to the normal procedure, once the mutton sheep entering the market are tested positive, the law enforcement officer must seal the sheep and send the sample to the provincial government for re-testing. If the lean meat component is finally confirmed, the sheep will be harmlessly treated.

“Fighting a few tens of thousands of yuan to release people” is not practical According to several farmers in Yanwo Town, there have been cases of trafficking in lean meat in the town. “I heard that two people were arrested and then they were fined for tens of thousands before they were released.” . In this regard, Dongying City, animal husbandry, public security and other departments have not confirmed. Yesterday, Liu Qingbin said that the case was not a confession of fines, but it had entered the judicial process and it has now entered the public prosecution stage.

Liu Qingbin said that Yanwu Town's aquaculture industry has developed rapidly in recent years. More than one million mutton sheep are slaughtered every year, and they are all concentrated in the area of ​​Yanwo. This gives individual farmers an opportunity.

At the same time, the method for detecting lean meat is relatively scarce. At present, the commonly used method for rapid detection of lean meat strips is relatively simple. Once the sample is found to be positive, the law enforcement officers will need to re-sample and send the inspection unit in the province. The test results will be issued after 5 working days.

Liu Qingbin said that in the inspection of the county in April this year, 38 sheep samples were found to be positive, but after the samples were sent to the province, only 4 samples were found to contain clenbuterol hydrochloride.
