Great progress will be made in the safety of organic fertilizer

From January 1, 2020, all growth promoting drug feed additive varieties, except for traditional Chinese medicine, will be withdrawn. Veterinary drug manufacturers will stop production, import veterinary drug agents will stop importing corresponding veterinary drug products, and the corresponding veterinary drug product approval number and import veterinary drug registration certificate will be cancelled. The corresponding veterinary drug products that have been produced and imported before can be circulated to June 30, 2020.

• As a kind of low-cost organic fertilizer, livestock manure is widely used in China's planting industry. However, due to its low price, antibiotic indicators are often ignored, resulting in the problem of excessive content. With the policy issued and the drug feed additive withdrawn from the market, the safety problems faced in the fertilizer production process will be solved to a certain extent at the source, and the safety problems of organic fertilizer will be further solved.

• Experts said that the content of antibiotics in manure made from livestock and poultry manure is particularly high, and it is difficult to degrade only through general maturity treatment. The non degraded antibiotics can not only kill beneficial microorganisms, but also produce drug-resistant bacteria, which will inevitably affect the structure and function of soil ecosystem.

• Professionals pointed out that it is urgent to control the use of antibiotics from the source to produce safe organic fertilizer. To solve this problem, the most important thing is to introduce product production standards and define the indicator range of antibiotic residues, so that enterprises must use organic fertilizer machine to produce organic fertilizer according to the standards.
