Features: The "Animal Husbandry Law of the People's Republic of China" consists of 8 chapters and 74 articles, covering the entire production process of animal husbandry, including the protection of livestock and poultry genetic resources, the selection and breeding of improved breeds, production and operation, livestock and poultry farming, trade and transportation, and quality and safety assurance. The Animal Husbandry Law has fixed the basic state policies supporting the development of animal husbandry in recent years in legal form, clarifying the system for protecting livestock and poultry genetic resources, establishing a licensing system for the production and operation of improved breeds, and strengthening quality supervision and management of improved breeds. Fully considering the current coexistence of large-scale farming and traditional household farming in China, the law implements differentiated guidance. It sets relatively strict regulations on the establishment conditions and specific farming practices of livestock and poultry farms and breeding areas practicing large-scale farming, while also providing necessary regulations for scattered household farming. Through legislation, it guides the gradual shift of livestock and poultry farming methods towards large-scale farming. Standardizing livestock and poultry farming practices will play a crucial role in establishing a liability system for livestock and poultry product quality and ensuring the safety of livestock and poultry products. To ensure that measures for livestock and poultry production management are guaranteed in the trade and transportation links, the Animal Husbandry Law also provides regulations on livestock and poultry trade, transportation, quality management, and other aspects.
