ANIMAL HEALTH IN CHINA （2012）
Veterinary Bureau,Ministry of Agriculture,P. R. China
Preface
The year of 2012, the second year of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, saw new development in veterinary administration and services made by all veterinary institutions in accordance with the national guideline of making progress while maintaining stability.
With the central task and broader situation in mind, we were committed to effective animal disease control, which was manifested in new progress in Specific Disease FreeZones, no occurrence of epidemics of regional impact, and prompt stamping-out of outbreaks. We improved supervision and law enforcement on animal health by cracking down on illegal use of “lean meat powder”, tightening veterinary drug quality control and straightening out the veterinary drug market, which helped to make animal products safer and better. We strengthened the supportive role of science and technology by connecting research institutes, colleges and universities with veterinary institutions and livestock companies for commercialization of research findings. We built up the official and licensed veterinarian teams, conducted registration of licensed veterinarians and supervision over their practices according to rules, and officially launched the integrity system for the veterinary sector to improve social veterinary services. We achieved good results in international cooperation and improved the joint prevention and control mechanism with neighboring countries.
While making efforts to promote control of major diseases, animal product quality and safety assurance, as well as team-building and institution development, we took a longer view to develop future plans. In May 2012, the National Medium and Long- Term Plan for Animal Disease Control 2012-2020 was enacted, which was a milestone in the history of animal health work in China, symbolizing that the disease control has come to a plan-based management stage.
Looking back at 2012, we see progress and achievements. Looking into 2013, we see opportunities and challenges. Veterinary institutions and their staff will undertake daunting tasks and overcome difficulties to make even bigger contribution to the animal health in China in a steady, pragmatic and pioneering way.

Chapter 1 Veterinary Institutions and Professionals
The Chinese government is committed to improving the veterinary administration and the implementation of the official and licensed veterinarian system to ensure sustainable animal production, quality and safety of animal products, and public health security. Up to now, a veterinary administration system characterized by well-established institutions, well-developed regulations, clear-cut responsibilities, and highly-efficient operations has taken shape.
The Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) is the national authority for animal health. It is in charge of nationwide animal disease control and inspection, disease information release, and stamping-out activities; veterinarian administration and veterinary drug administration and inspection; and administration of official and licensed veterinarians. The position of Chief Veterinary Officer is set in MOA. The Veterinary Bureau of MOA is responsible for veterinary administration across the country. It comprises the Division of General Affairs, the Division of Veterinarian Administration, the Division of Science, Technology and International Cooperation, the Division of Animal Disease Control, the Division of Animal Health Inspection and Supervision, and the Division of Veterinary Drugs and Appliances. See its specific responsibilities at http://www.syj.moa.gov.cn/jieshao/zhineng/.
Veterinary authorities have been set up at each province (autonomous region and municipality), prefecture and county for disease control, inspection, veterinary drug administration and residue control, and other administrative activities within their respective jurisdiction. By the end of 2012, their staff members had totaled 34,000.
1.1.2 Veterinary law enforcement agencies
The local governments at the county-level or above have set up animal health supervision institutions, which are responsible for inspection of animals and animal products, and supervision, administration and law enforcement related to animal disease control. By the end of 2012, the staff members of those institutions at provincial, prefecture and county levels (including branches of the county-level institutions) had numbered around 149,000.
According to the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Entry and Exit Animal and Plant Quarantine and other relevant laws and regulations, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) is responsible for inspection and quarantine of entering and exiting animals and animal products. AQSIQ exercises vertical administration over its entry and exit inspection and quarantine institutions. It has 35 subordinate bureaus in all the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities as well as at the major ports across the country, and nearly 300 branches and over 200 offices at seaports, land ports and airports as well as cargo distribution centers. Their staff members amount to more than 30,000.
Institutions under this system are mainly responsible for diagnosis, surveillance and epidemiological investigation of animal diseases, quality evaluation and testing of veterinary drugs and biologics, and other veterinary technical services.
1.1.3.1 National support institutions
The national support institutions include three public organizations directly affiliated to MOA, namely China Animal Disease Control Center, China Institute of Veterinary Drug Control and China Animal Health and Epidemiology Center.Based on the technical strengths of relevant institutions, MOA has set up three national veterinary reference laboratories, four national veterinary diagnosis laboratories, four national reference laboratories for veterinary drug residues and eight national veterinary drug safety evaluation laboratories to enhance the technical support for the control of animal diseases and the safety supervision over foods of animal origin. See Chapter 9 for details.

1.1.3.2 Local support institutions
All the provinces, prefectures and counties have their own animal disease control institutions, which are responsible for surveillance, testing, diagnosis, epidemiological investigation, outbreak reporting and other technical activities. By the end of 2012, the staff members of those institutions had numbered 37,000.
Veterinary drug inspection institutions are also set up at the three levels to conduct inspection, testing and supervision of veterinary drugs.Currently, there are altogether 32 inspection institutions at the provincial level, which have171 affiliates at the prefecture level and 289 affiliates at the county level.By the end of 2012, the staff members at the provincial level had totaled around 1,000.
1.1.3.3 Disease control institutions at grassroots level
The veterinary authorities of the county-level governments have set up animal husbandry and veterinary stations at each township or area, which are responsible for animal disease control, inspection, and public technical extension services. Currently, 34,616 township-level stations have been established nationwide, with staff members of 155,000.
Figure 1-3 Organizational chart of national veterinary system
A number of technical committees, associations and societies are established to jointly promote animal health in China.
The National Technical Committee of Standardization on Animal Health was established in 1988. Its current name was given in 2004.It works on nationwide standardization on animal health. Its specific responsibilities include developing and revising standards for animal health, animal products, diagnosis, sanitation and management; publicizing and interpreting national and sectoral standards for animal health; and providing relevant technical consultations.
The Commission of Chinese Veterinary Pharmacopoeia (CCVP) was set up in 1986.

It conducts domestic and international academic exchanges, and promotes domestic and international cooperation in science and technology; and also provides consultations and technical services for major decision-making concerning the national development strategy and policies for this sector as well as economic development.
China Veterinary Drug Association (CVDA) was founded in 1991. Itspecializes in self-discipline, coordination, service and administration of the veterinary drug sector. It develops rules and regulations for this sector and assists the government to improve administration.
1.2 Capacity building of veterinarians
In 2012, MOA remained committed to the capacity building of veterinarians. It officially launched the process to develop the integrity system for the veterinary sector, continued with the recognition of official veterinarians and the national qualification examination for licensed veterinarian, and worked hard to improve the community veterinarian team.
1.2.1 Official veterinarians
Recognition of official veterinarian qualification was continued. As required by the Circular of MOA on Recognition of Official Veterinarian Qualification of Law Enforcement Personnel of Animal Health Supervision Institutions (Nongyifa [2011] No.25), MOA accelerated the development of the official veterinarian team and the implementation of the official veterinarian system. By the end of 2012, altogether 101,369 people had been recognized as official veterinarians throughout China.
Training for official veterinarians moved forward. As the implementation of the National Plan for Official Veterinarian Training 2010-2014 (Nongyifa [2020] No.17) continued, a rotational training system was established for official veterinarian trainers. In 2012, the first national capacity building training course for official veterinarian trainers was organized for 4,548 people that had taken targeted training. Provincial authorities hosted 5,414 official veterinarian training courses for 31,746 trainees.
1.2.2 Licensed veterinarians
In 2012, MOA amended the Administrative Regulations on the Inspection of Licensed Veterinarian Qualification Examination in the light of the Administrative Measures on Licensed Veterinarians and the Interim Administrative Measures for Licensed Veterinarian Qualification Examination, in order to improve the supervision mechanism for this examination. The third national examination was held on October 14, 2012, with 1,407 examination rooms at 52 venues. Altogether 48,858 people registered for the examination and 35,430 actually took it. Finally, 12,029 people passed the examination, including 7,174 qualified as licensed veterinarians and 4,855 as licensed assistant veterinarians. By the end of 2012, altogether 25,735 licensed veterinarians and 27,108 licensed assistant veterinarians had been registered in China.
1.2.3 Community veterinarians
In recent years, with a view to improving the performance of community veterinarians, MOA has been making great efforts in their capacity building by organizing intensive training and offering allowance.
Training for community veterinarians was intensified. In 2012, MOA supervised the compilation of training materials for rural veterinarians and village-level animal health workers and organized two sessions of training for the trainers of rural veterinarians. A total of 7,254 community veterinarians were trained under the Sunshine Project and other training programs.
Registration of rural veterinarians continued. Comprehensive progress was made in the registration of rural veterinarians as required by the Administrative Measures on Rural Veterinarians. Registration conditions were stringently examined, registration procedures streamlined, business scope defined, and rural veterinarian administration files established. Applications were reviewed by local authorities before submitted to higher levels for registration. Registration information was compiled and reported to higher authorities. Applications were approved and certificates issued in a swift manner. By the end of 2012, a total of 290,000 rural veterinarians had been registered in China.
Allowance for community animal health workers was delivered. In 2012, another 780 million yuan was granted by the central government for animal health service at the community level. An allowance of 1,200 yuan per year was therefore given to each village-level animal health worker.
1.2.4 Integrity system
MOA and local veterinary authorities explored the ways of establishing integrity files for licensed veterinarians and veterinary drug producers, a cause advocated by the government and implemented by the association with businesses exercising self-discipline. The files will include information about their administrative approval, daily supervision, irregularity, public scrutiny, etc, to reinforce the awareness of integrity and law abidance among licensed veterinarians and businesses. MOA took a number of actions in a progressive manner. It led a fact-finding survey of animal clinics, tightened the administrative approval process of such clinics, strengthened daily supervision to ensure law abidance at the animal medical treatment market and introduced an access system for veterinary practitioners. It also organized the development of an information system for the management of veterinarians, of which the integrity system is an important component. Integrity information of veterinarians was uploaded to the system in a timely manner for administrative supervision and public scrutiny. A national fundamental information query system for veterinary drugs was launched to provide data for the integrity system. The query system includes multifaceted information, such as veterinary drug producers’ GMP certificates, production license and product approval number, approval status of (imported) biologics and results of veterinary drug spot checks.
The Chinese Veterinary Medicinal Association (CVMA) and China Veterinary Drug Association (CVDA) made great efforts in the development of self-discipline codes for the sector based on relevant laws, regulations and their Articles of Association. CVMA worked out a number of self-discipline documents to promote proper practices among licensed veterinarians, including the Code of Professional Ethics for Licensed Veterinarians and the Code of Integrity for Licensed Veterinarians. It also created an outreach platform of laws and regulations concerning licensed veterinarians. A column on the integrity system was opened to publicize the development of this system in the veterinary sector. The Association released the Letter of Initiative on Integrity and Law Abidance of Licensed Veterinarians and had nearly a thousand veterinarians sign the Letter of Commitment on Honest Practice of Licensed Veterinarians. It established a grading and classifying system to manage animal clinics and identified integrity model businesses. It selected ten veterinarians recommended by local authorities and honored them with the “Touching China” Award to set integrity role models. CVDA started a column dedicated to the “Year of Integrity and Self-discipline of the Chinese Veterinary Drug Industry” on its website to increase publicity. It had leaders of the top 50 businesses in the veterinary drug industry sign the letter of commitment on integrity and self-discipline on behalf of their businesses. Nearly 200 businesses signed the Letter of Commitment on Integrity and Self-discipline of Chinese Veterinary Drug Businesses, in which they promised to ensure all drugs produced and sold are up to standard.
Chapter 2 Veterinary Laws and Regulations
The Chinese government is committed to the development of veterinary laws and regulations. A veterinary legal system has taken shape, comprising of national laws, such as the Law of the PRC on Animal Disease Control, the Law of the PRC on Animal production,the Law of the PRC on Agricultural Product Quality and Safety and the Law of the PRC on the Entry and Exit Animal and Plant Quarantine, as well as administrative regulations, such as the Regulations on Administration of Veterinary Drugs and the Regulations on Biosafety Management of Pathogenic Microbe Laboratories, which are supplemented by sectoral and local regulations (see table 2-1).
