The Yantai Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs recently held a meeting to strategize on preventing and controlling animal diseases during the autumn and winter season, a time when such diseases tend to be more prevalent. The meeting highlighted the need to strengthen immunization, safety protection, and quarantine supervision to prevent major epidemics. Other strategies discussed included monitoring and early warning systems, managing epidemic-free provinces, improving quarantine rates for cattle and sheep, and enhancing the management of animal health badges and signs. The meeting also emphasized the importance of inventorying and addressing shortcomings to ensure no risk indicators are present, and the establishment of a dispatching assessment mechanism with strict reward and punishment measures.
