Current Situation Analysis and Countermeasures of Veterinary Drug Residues in Meat products of Pingliang Beef Cattle

Abstract:

Pingliang has a wide plateau, fertile soil, moderate rainfall, pleasant climate and abundant forage resources. It is a national highquality beef cattle production area designated by the Ministry of Agriculture. Cattle raising is a traditional industry for farmers in Pingliang. Under its unique natural environment, climatic conditions, and specific feeding methods, the beef cattle raised have the advantages of high meat yield, tender meat, strong intramuscular fat deposition ability, and excellent marbled meat quality. This is the germplasm resource for producing highquality and highgrade snowflake meat in China. It is also the only beef with a unique aromatic flavor and is known as the "Moutai" of the cattle industry. Ensuring the quality and safety of meat and allowing people to eat with confidence is related to the health and life safety of the people and is an important livelihood issue. As a grassroots livestock product quality and safety supervisor, the author combines many years of work experience to analyze the current situation of veterinary drug residue testing in Pingliang beef and beef products. This article puts forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions for existing problems, and hopes to discuss them with colleagues.
