Construction Of Animal Epidemic Disease Prevention And Control System In Nanjing City

By comparing the experiences and methods of the construction of Animal Epidemic Disease Prevention and Control System (AEDPCS) both at home and abroad, and taking into account the status quo of grass-root veterinarian management reform and the goals set by the municipal government for animal disease and meat quality control, this paper puts forward the principles, contents, and key points for the construction of AEDPCS in Nanjing city, and analyzes the factors affecting it's construction and functioning. It also depicts the achievements and problems of AEDPCS construction in Nanjing city.The establishment of state or regional AEDPCS is of great importance to ensure the healthy development of animal husbandry, the quality and safety of animal products, and the health of human being. Especially, it is in keeping with the requirements of China's social and economic development. The characteristics of disease occurrence at present stage, like high frequency, more varieties, and massive endangerment, etc. show that prevention and control of animal diseases is becoming imperative and pressing. Moreover, the lack of epidemic disease monitoring and early-warning system makes it not only necessary but also urgent to establish AEDPCS. Meanwhile, previous works, as well as foreign experiences and methods in veterinarian management, disease control mechanism, epidemic disease forecast and the making of veterinarian regulations, have provided strong support for the setting up of AEDPCS.The core contents for the construction of AEDPCS include: building-up an animal epidemic disease prevention and treatment system with a municipal-county-township "three-level structure" and municipal-county-township-village "four level network", which mainly deals with the daily epidemic disease prevention and treatment, quarantine of animals and animal products, supervising of animal hygiene, veterinarian administration, medical management; setting-up an animal epidemic disease monitoring and forecasting network and information management system, which is responsible for the diagnose of animal diseases, monitoring and early warning of diseases, and the management of epidemic information; establishing an emergency disposal mechanism, including theconducting system, the emergency treatment proposal, and the task force, as well as the construction of materials and equipments supporting system.This paper mainly describes the exploration, practices and achievements in Nanjing on the construction of animal epidemic disease prevention and control system, epidemic disease diagnosis and monitoring system, and materials and equipments supply system, as well as the emergency mechanism and medical quality supervising system.For animal epidemic disease prevention and control system, this paper focuses on the organization form and structure on the township level, and puts forward a pattern of "one network, double management, and six systems". This pattern can effectively solve the problems of compulsory vaccination, site quarantine, and epidemic situation reporting, etc, and all these can be done in villages and farms; relevant policies like "Formula on Planed Vaccination" and "Subsidiaries for Vaccination and Killing of Infected Animals and Poultry" were made, including various aspects of vaccination as technology, management, compensation, punishment and financial input, etc. to facilitate the whole city's vaccination work. Through investigation on the sections of production, circulation, slaughtering and processing, storing, and marketing of animal and its products imported from outside the city, a set of approaches and requirements for their quarantine were determined, and a quarantine supervision network was established, which has increased the licensed selling rate from 70% or 80% before the establishment of the network to the present 100%, effectively stopped harmful meat products from selling in Nanjing city. By training the veterinarians and making related stipulations, the work of vaccination, quarantine, and epidemic disease prevention and supervisi...
