Li Yue, Head of the Animal Husbandry Division at the Municipal Agriculture Bureau, emphasized in her speech that participating companies must strengthen industry self-discipline, enhance the quality and safety standards of feed production, and ensure compliance with regulatory production practices. Finally, Deputy Director Wang Jiusheng delivered a keynote address, highlighting this year’s key priorities: "Safety, Improvement, and Integration." He explained that "Safety" encompasses not only safe production and quality assurance but also environmental protection measures. All member organizations have identified safe production as their top priority, and the Bureau will soon launch comprehensive safety inspections to guarantee no incidents occur ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China. Li also stressed the critical need to prioritize quality and safety, noting that current challenges include inconsistent labeling and standards, as well as instances of unauthorized addition of pharmaceutical additives—issues that must be firmly addressed. Additionally, he underscored the importance of environmental safety, particularly in relation to upstream livestock farmers. From a service-oriented perspective, he urged everyone to properly manage manure by returning it to the fields for agricultural use, while actively providing robust community support. Together, these efforts will ensure smooth progress in environmental protection initiatives.

In terms of "enhancement," the provincial government has introduced four key agricultural initiatives, launching the new "Three Excellence and One Standard" strategy—focused on variety improvement, quality enhancement, brand development, and standardized production. All units involved in production should adopt a systematic approach, prioritizing quality improvements to ensure reliable supply. Additionally, efforts should be intensified to build strong brands by distilling core elements of corporate culture and identifying the right market-entry points for effective promotional strategies, ultimately driving greater market success.

"Regarding 'integration,' we will strengthen the integrated development of primary, secondary, and tertiary industries, seamlessly linking the first, second, and third sectors of the industrial chain. We’ll carefully craft a comprehensive development plan, adopt a forward-thinking approach, and pursue high-quality growth by clearly defining our strategic direction. The city has already identified animal husbandry as a key industry and pinpointed specific industrial clusters to receive prioritized support. As a result, financial resources from various sources are being concentrated on these targeted clusters, with a strong focus on fostering the high-quality development of city-level, distinctive industrial ecosystems."

Deputy Director of the Municipal Agriculture Bureau, Wang Jiusheng

Director Wang concluded by emphasizing that the association has effectively carried out its duties, providing comprehensive services to its member organizations. Moving forward, the association will organize more events, invite industry and safety experts to conduct training sessions for businesses, and actively promote relevant laws and regulations. Safety in production will be firmly prioritized, with intensified efforts in both awareness-raising and skill development. Additionally, the association aims to broaden its perspectives, fostering greater opportunities for exchange and learning—encouraging members to collaborate with larger enterprises, thereby creating chances for knowledge sharing and growth. This approach will help continuously enhance management practices, strengthen individual capabilities, and ultimately contribute to the healthy development of Cangzhou’s feed industry.
