Zhenjiang Exports Feathers Dancing Safely

This year, a sudden new bird flu virus, H7N9, has lost its poultry breeding industry. It has also affected the production and output of duck and goose feather products and their products downstream of the poultry industry chain. However, in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, the export of feather, feather and its products has been speeding up. The total number of exports of down and its products has increased by 47.8% over the past 104 years.

Danyang, Jiangsu, is the place where the phoenix dance is legendary. Located in Danyang Lianhu Industrial Park, Jiangsu Xinlong Feather & down Co., Ltd. is a large-scale production enterprise with feather, feather and related products as core business, internal and external trade and operation. In 2012, the company exported 282 batches of feather and feather and products, valued at over 1130 US dollars, and distributed in more than 20 countries and regions, such as Europe, America, Japan and Korea. clothing The brand provides semi finished products, and the company has maintained strong foreign trade growth for several years. During the interview, the head of the company said that this year's H7N9 avian flu epidemic has brought a "cold current" to the development of down products enterprises, which has brought many adverse effects to the production and sales of enterprises.

　　 Restriction on increase of export price of raw materials

The outbreak of H7N9 avian influenza in China's main down producing areas, such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces, has restricted the circulation of poultry, ducks, geese and other poultry, and directly affected the supply of raw materials. At the same time, the epidemic caused the large number of goose and duck to be culled, resulting in a sudden decrease in raw feather. Most of the feather and feather production and processing enterprises have no ideological preparation for the sudden outbreaks, raw materials inventory is insufficient, and some enterprises appear raw materials for down products.

The shortage of raw materials has brought about a sharp increase in prices. The epidemic has caused the price of raw feathers to rise by 30%~50%, and the price is very unstable. Many enterprises are in a dilemma. If the order signed before execution is in the face of losses, if they fail to complete the order, they will lose their customers and the normal production will be affected. At the same time, some countries impose restrictions on the export of feather, feather and their products in China, which have adverse effects on foreign trade, and the export of products is difficult.

　 Eliminate hidden dangers and strengthen supervision

Let export feathers dance safely. In the face of a sudden blow, in view of the impact of the H7N9 avian flu epidemic on down enterprises, Jiangsu Zhenjiang inspection and Quarantine Bureau has taken the initiative to make close contacts with enterprises, giving all-round guidance and assistance from policies, regulations and technologies, and strengthening supervision, urging and helping enterprises to establish and improve animal epidemic prevention and epidemic prevention system, eliminate hidden dangers for export and promote products' foreign trade.

The staff of Zhenjiang Bureau take the initiative to go deep into the front line of the enterprise and take part in the prenatal, mid, and post natal technical services and quality control. The bureau carries out strict quarantine supervision on raw materials, strictly checks whether the feathers purchased by the enterprises from the field to the factory are sterilized in time, requires that the raw materials be stored in specialized warehouses, do well in and out accounts, and establish traceability system. At the same time, enterprises should be guided to strictly separate wool and raw wool from production, processing, packaging, storage and transportation, so as to avoid cross contamination between wool and raw wool. In strengthening on-site supervision, the Bureau actively directed enterprises to carry out periodic epidemic prevention and disinfection for down producing places, passageways, warehouses and delivery vehicles, so as to ensure the safety and reliability of the products produced.

The avian influenza virus can be killed in two minutes at 100 degree high temperature. Control of temperature and time in the production of washed down feather is a key point. The process of washing down feather is usually washed and dehydrated in hot water, and then dried for 30 minutes at 120 degrees Celsius and cooled. The Bureau strengthened supervision and supervised production line strictly in accordance with the processing technology of water washed down, guiding enterprises to strengthen supervision and inspection of operating temperature and drying time, eliminating potential epidemic risks.

　　 Enthusiasm guides and builds confidence.

There is a series of links from poultry farms to water washed down feathers. Any avian flu virus that is washed down or feathered on feathers is likely to occur. The Bureau inspector and quarantine personnel instructed enterprises to strengthen process management, and implemented comprehensive prevention and control and whole process monitoring from the prevention and disinfection of raw materials to production and processing, and guided enterprises to further optimize the production layout, standardize operation procedures and production processes, formulate and perfect the system of product testing, quality control and epidemic surveillance, so as to ensure the quality and safety of products.

Confidence is more important than gold when faced with a sudden blow. While the Zhenjiang bureau is actively promoting policies and regulations to provide technical advice for epidemic prevention and control, it encourages enterprises to face the reality and respond positively. It also suggests that during the period of avian flu, enterprises should send more salesmen to the spot of purchasing raw wool, purchase as many raw wool as possible, and strengthen the communication with suppliers. With the joint efforts of the inspection companies, the company has exported 104 batches of feather, feather and its products this year, an increase of 47.8% over the same period last year.

Thousands of miles to send goose feather, etiquette and light weight. The Zhenjiang Bureau strengthened the supervision of down and its products during the epidemic period. The Bureau led the advance prevention and control platform, and repeatedly led business personnel to guide the epidemic prevention and control work in depth, and created favorable conditions for the rising of the down market of feather, feather and products export.
