Why pork is safe in Hong Kong: There are codes to be found in elite schools

October 13, 2012, the Hong Kong agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation department, as usual, updated the reference figures on the main fresh food, the number of live pigs in Hong Kong reached 4725 in the day, and pork is still a staple of most Hong Kong people's dining table.　　25-Year-old fund workers Michelle ready to go to the supermarket this day to buy a pig show meat home soup, and her mother division milk but want to go to market meat stalls cut the most beautiful plum head home steamed meat pie, because that day is the weekend, want to eat a good family. than mainland consumers worried about pork safety, they are more concerned about the taste and quality of pork, despite the fact that some of the pork samples contained sulfur dioxide in Hong Kong in May 2012, but the Hong Kong Food Safety Centre will face high fines and imprisonment for the timely updating of the information related to edible meat,　　Even the abolition of the penalties for the sale of persons, so that the majority of Hong Kong people believe that this is an accident, Hong Kong has since August 1998 the introduction of the pin numbering system, so that every one will be placed on the table of Hong Kong pigs are recorded, once the food safety incidents, can quickly trace to specific pig farms　　has been the "one country and two pigs", the biggest difference may be in the quality supervision departments can accurately grasp the whereabouts of each pig. The owner of the pig farm is a returnee, with a master's degree in pharmacy from the Imperial University of London from Hung Hom with the West rail line heading towards Tunmen, will find that fewer passengers, to reach the Kam Sheung Road station Yuanlang, out of the subway platform will suddenly feel that this is not a lively Hong Kong, and want to reach the Hong Kong Wah Kee Pig also need to turn minibus 77K,　　Around a few mountain road, finally understand that this is the destination of the reason is the iron gate from the bursts of pig cry.　　No imaginary stench, such a result is obviously benefited from the pig farm owner, Chen Wuchi years ago, the pharmaceutical factory work experience, he used to manage the management of the pig farms hidden in the Yuanlang of green mountains, output assured pork for the people of Hong Kong to eat.　　As the most important part of food safety, Liang, a guest professor of applied biology and Chemistry at the University of Hong Kong, which has served in the HKSAR government for 25 years, has been involved in food safety monitoring, and as a source of edible pork ——— the supervision of pig farms has become particularly important in Hong Kong. Chen Wuchi's visit to the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department has been so flattering that "almost every month they randomly spot random checks." "It's not easy to raise pigs in Hong Kong today, want to apply to a pig farm license not only needs pigs to grow well, to ensure that their animal welfare, such as the fence can not be too crowded, even the discharge of water also needs to meet environmental standards, so the Chen Wuchi pig Farm to minimize the discharge of water, but also focus on purifying sewage," EPD people like to observe the river through our pig farm, if clear, they check the steps will be less, if the dirty should be carefully tested. "And in front of the river from the pig farm slowly flow is obviously more clean than most of the river, and even see the fish swim in it, from the UK back to Hong Kong to operate a pig farm more than 10 years of Chen Wuchi to keep their own pharmaceutical master of rigorous specialTo study the way to make pig farms less polluted, "the study is, of course, to improve the quality of pigs, and secondly, because if there is a violation, not only will there be fines, but the agriculture and Fisheries Department will also reduce the number of pigs allowed and even recover licences."　　"At the same time visitors to the Hua Kee Pig must wear protective clothing and rain boots to avoid bringing the bacteria into the sty," he said. Because of this "draconian" source of hygiene control, Hong Kong pig farm from the once Vue plummeted to today's 44, "Although we gather in the basic discussion of pork prices, rarely said pig technology, but can be sure that they can survive, there must be their own way to meet environmental standards." "Each pig has its own number, the growth characteristics are also detailed records than the ordinary pig more than a few times the hands, so that Chen Wuchi to their own pig care more confident," We have about 6 people care for 1000 pigs. "Each pig here has its own number, and it records their growth characteristics," such as which hind legs are more stout, which shoulder more meat, have detailed records. "There are several forms hanging from the walls of Chen Wuchi's office, used to record pigs ' sickness, death, breeding records, and so on," with these forms, I know very well the parents of each pig, its illness, and its body size is predictable before birth, because we are consciously breeding two pigs. " "The Pig of Wah Kee Pig's life is clearly documented through these forms, the forms contain the time they were born, records of their breastfeeding, and their development in the nursery until they left the sow to the pigsty and the companions, and were clearly identified because of the tattoo number on the ear side. The staff of the pig farm will be able to find the sick pig and isolate it in the first time. "Chen Wuchi also said that because of the refusal to use antibiotics, pig farm mortality is not low," but most of the dead pigs are found in the disease sty, will not affect other healthy pigs. "Chen Wuchi also tried to give pigs toys to keep them happy," but the effect is general, because it will find the situation of pig fights, resulting in death, and so on, and spacious space and delicious feed may enhance the happiness of pigs. "So he mixes different feeds for different stages of the pig," our pig farms will be responsible for the production of pork, can not be said after the pork is not to add ingredients, after all, we feed all is homemade, only buy back raw materials such as corn, vitamins and so on their own deployment. "And in Hong Kong, Chen Wuchi also try to create a spacious environment for pigs," a pigsty will raise more than 20 pigs, calculate every pig will have a larger than its volume 3 times times the space, you can let it run in it.　　"This is partly to improve pork quality, but also because Hong Kong law clearly stipulates that even slaughtering animals should have basic animal welfare." 7 months later, the Chen Wuchi Pig Farm has a "family tree" of the pigs are basically mature, ready to enter the slaughterhouse, "from the pig sty to the transport vehicle distance of about 200 meters, this group of pigs due to flatWhen the space is full of activity, so will be excited to run past. "After they have finished the last 200 meters, they will have to go through the slaughter, even after the bacteria test, and finally put the table of Hong Kong people."
