Feeding swill to pigs may cause chronic poisoning in humans

"Swill pigs" refer to food produced by restaurants, hotels, restaurants, and canteens Pigs fed with garbage are often called "garbage pigs". Because these kitchen leftovers and garbage are directly collected and fed to pigs without being treated harmlessly, they have become an important potential risk for the spread of epidemics.

The incidence rate of swill pigs is 30-50%

According to surveys, because feeding pigs with swill can save breeding costs, this traditional feeding method is still very popular in many places in rural areas and around cities and towns. Big market.

Those who feed pigs with swill are generally free-range farmers living around cities and towns. The author once saw at a breeding site where pigs are fed with swill, large oily barrels piled outside the pig farms, and the swill inside the barrels. It flows everywhere, and flies and mosquitoes can be seen everywhere, causing great pollution to the environment.

In addition, the vast majority of free-range farmers do not have animal epidemic prevention conditions. According to relevant slaughter and quarantine inspections, it is known that the meat quality of pigs fed with swill is obviously not as good as that of pigs fed with regular feed.

The meat of "swill pigs" is of poor quality and often can only flow into unregulated markets and some small restaurants, small restaurants and construction site canteens through illegal channels. By evading animal quarantine supervision, "swill pigs" greatly increase food safety risks, causing pork that may contain pathogens to be eaten by humans, affecting health. ?

In addition, the food waste in the swill is rich in organic matter, which can easily provide a suitable growth and reproduction environment for various pathogenic microorganisms and flies carrying pathogenic microorganisms. Feeding with untreated kitchen swill Pigs, pathogenic microorganisms may affect human health through the food chain.

When the relevant departments analyzed and tested the microorganisms in the catering waste, they found that there were a large number of Salmonella, Shigella, Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other bacterial colonies. These bacteria are highly infectious. Once pathogenic bacteria spread in the environment, there will be immeasurable serious consequences. ?

Relevant data show that the incidence rate of "swill pigs" is 30 to 50% higher than that of normally raised pigs. In addition, pathogens reproduce in pigs' bodies, which can also cause a variety of human and animal diseases, such as greatly increasing the infection of worms, hookworms, tapeworms, etc. in consumers.

Swill also contains polyethylene and other chemical substances that are difficult to decompose and absorb. Simply heating it and feeding it to pigs may not only cause food poisoning in pigs, but may also cause chronic poisoning in humans. Due to the high fat content in swill, long-term consumption of pigs will cause fatty liver, resulting in greasy meat, which will have a chain effect and leave hidden dangers after humans consume it.

Food waste should be disposed of harmlessly

It is necessary to put an end to "swill pigs", but it does not mean that pouring all the swill into the sewer and flushing it away, doing so will also cause Environmental pollution and resource waste. Only by intercepting swill at the source, treating it harmlessly, and finding a good outlet for food waste will "swill pigs" lose their chance of survival.

It is understood that after harmless treatment, food waste can become high-quality organic fertilizer and can also be used as feed. This can not only solve the problem of "swilling pigs", but also is a need for the development of a circular economy. ?

However, my country’s current food waste treatment rate is low. To develop rapidly, policy support and institutional guarantees are first needed.

It is necessary to further strengthen the education and guidance of food safety knowledge to operators of restaurants, hotels, restaurants, hotels and canteens, implement a multi-departmental joint law enforcement mechanism, strengthen market supervision, severely crack down on illegal activities, resolutely prohibit swill feeding to pigs, and cut off the chain of interests;

Secondly, the government should formulate relevant support policies as soon as possible to reduce the production costs of the breeding industry and guide farmers to use compound feed. It is necessary to increase investment and encourage new environmental protection projects for the treatment of food waste; finally, the environmental protection department must rely on scientific and technological progress to innovate the harmless treatment and recycling technology of food waste, thereby improving efficiency and reducing costs.

In Hong Kong, if a catering company disposes of a bucket of swill without permission, it will be fined 6,000 Hong Kong dollars (approximately 5,310 yuan) after being investigated.

Relevant laws and regulations for handling swill abroad are stricter. In Singapore, once a catering company is found to be dumping or selling swill privately, it will face a penalty of up to S$30,000 to S$70,000 (approximately S$145,400 to S$399,300). ) fine.

Undoubtedly, under the supervision of strict laws and regulations, strengthening industrial policy guidance and innovating the harmless treatment and recycling mechanism of food waste are the long-term solutions to prohibiting "swilling pigs" from entering the market and ensuring the health and safety of humans and animals. Effective strategy.
