Food safety issues have become a major threat to human health. In recent years, numerous food safety incidents have emerged, with the "clenbuterol" scandal being one of the most notorious examples. Even large companies like Shuanghui Group, which are supposed to ensure product quality, have failed to prevent such problems. How much of our daily diet is affected by these risks? According to statistics, over 200,000 cases of food poisoning occur in China each year, many of which are linked to unsafe food sources. Incidents like "Streptococcus suis," "Fushou snail," "red heart egg," "Tuobao fish," "melamine," and "fast chicken" have not only harmed people's health but also shaken public trust in the food supply.
Most of these incidents stem from unsafe animal feed. The use of banned or restricted chemicals and antibiotics in animal feed has led to harmful substances accumulating in animals, which then transfer to humans through consumption. This can cause acute poisoning, chronic diseases, birth defects, early puberty in children, and even the rise of superbugs—posing serious threats to public health.
The breeding industry is now facing growing challenges. High costs, frequent disease outbreaks, and unpredictable infections are making farming more difficult. Diseases often appear suddenly, are hard to treat, and lead to high mortality rates despite heavy medication use. This not only increases expenses but also causes significant financial losses for farmers.
Experts point out that the root cause of these issues lies in weakened immune systems of animals. Long-term use of antibiotics in feed has suppressed their immunity, making them more susceptible to diseases and increasing the complexity of treatment. This cycle has led to higher drug usage, greater resistance, and even the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that threaten both animals and humans.
Antibiotics have been heavily used in China’s aquaculture industry, with nearly half of all antibiotics consumed in the country being used in animal farming. Studies show that over 97,000 tons of antibiotics are used annually in agriculture, accounting for almost half of total production. While antibiotics once helped improve growth and prevent disease, their long-term misuse has caused serious side effects, including reduced immunity, digestive issues, and the development of resistant pathogens.
In response to these dangers, the Chinese government has taken action. Last year, the Ministry of Agriculture issued a policy banning the use of antibiotics in feed, signaling a shift toward safer alternatives. It is expected that antibiotics will eventually be phased out as feed additives.
To address these challenges, new biological feed additives are being developed. These include probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids, antimicrobial peptides, and herbal supplements. Among them, Yousheng-Ziyue Eugenics—a natural biological additive—has shown promising results in improving animal health and strengthening their immune systems. These innovations offer a sustainable and safe solution to the problems caused by antibiotic overuse, paving the way for a healthier future in animal farming and food production.
