Representative Qin Yinglin:
Your suggestion on continuing to promote the reduction and substitution of soybean meal has been received. The reply is as follows.
Continuing to promote the reduction and substitution of soybean meal for feed is an important measure to ensure the stable and safe supply of grain and important agricultural products and build a diversified food supply system. In 2023, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will issue the "Three-year Action Plan for Reducing and Replacing Soybean Meal for Feed", focusing on "improving quality and efficiency, opening up and increasing materials", implementing comprehensive measures such as efficiency improvement, open source, and structural adjustment, strengthening the integrated innovation and promotion and application of new feed products, new technologies, and new processes, guiding the feed breeding industry to scientifically reduce the amount of soybean meal, and promoting the saving and consumption reduction of feed grains. In 2023, the proportion of soybean meal in the feed consumed by the national aquaculture industry will drop from the highest 17.9% in 2017 to 13%, which is equivalent to a reduction of 23.86 million tons of soybean meal in terms of feed consumption, and the reduction effect is significant.
1. On improving the technical awareness of low soybean meal diet
Low soybean meal diet is the application of low protein amino acid balance mode, the use of a variety of alternative protein feed raw materials to prepare low soybean meal content feed, with the characteristics of scientific energy and protein ratio, essential amino acid supply balance, raw material diversification, etc., can not only meet the nutritional needs of breeding animals, but also avoid the disadvantages of relatively single raw materials in the corn soybean meal formula, is to adapt to the mainland resource endowment and breeding characteristics of the feed formula structure. In recent years, our ministry has organized the formulation and release of technical specifications for the production of low-protein and low-soybean meal diversified diets for pigs, broilers, laying hens, grass carp and other major farmed animals, compiled and released the key points of soybean meal reduction and substitution technology for pigs, beef cattle, sheep and grass carp for feed, and promoted and applied the reduction and substitution technology of feed soybean meal as a major leading technology in agriculture Popular science books are distributed free of charge to the society, and the reduction and substitution of soybean meal for feed is selected as a typical case of the 2023 World Food Day activity "Practicing the Big Food Concept and Ensuring Food Security". Through all-round and multi-channel preaching and interpretation, "reducing protein, improving efficiency, reducing soybean meal, and digging resources" has gradually become the consensus of the feed breeding industry.
In the next step, our department will continue to strengthen the publicity and guidance of the reduction and substitution of soybean meal for feed, increase the publicity of the technical path, scientific connotation and practical effectiveness of the reduction and substitution of soybean meal for feed, and focus on the popularization and interpretation of science popularization and interpretation for small and medium-sized farmers and the public, so as to improve the recognition of the whole industry and the whole society.
2. On creating a good network environment
New online media has the characteristics of fast dissemination speed and wide audience. In recent years, our ministry has produced and released special interview programs such as "Looking at Feed Grain Supply under the Concept of Big Food" through network media such as China's Three Rural Releases and China Rural Network, and invited authoritative experts to interpret the technical measures for the reduction and substitution of feed soybean meal; Produce and publish relevant popular science short videos to positively publicize the scientificity, necessity and feasibility of reducing and replacing soybean meal for feed.
In the next step, our ministry will continue to increase publicity, organize experts, scholars and technical promoters to produce relevant popular science video materials and application cases such as precise formulas and scientific ingredients, and carry out publicity and interpretation on new online media to help the audience understand its scientific connotation, improve the ability to distinguish true and false information, and create a good positive public opinion environment.
3. On increasing the research and development of synthetic biotechnology
Synthetic biotechnology is an effective means to increase the supply of alternative resources and reduce the demand for forage soybean meal. In 2021, the Ministry formulated and issued the "Guidelines for the Identification and Safety Evaluation of Production Strains of Direct Feeding Microorganisms and Fermented Products", which makes detailed provisions on the safety evaluation requirements for feed microorganisms and their fermentation products developed by synthetic biotechnology, and helps enterprises and R&D institutions to carry out targeted test evaluation and prepare application materials; At the same time, we will continue to optimize the review process and speed up the review and approval progress of relevant products. In recent years, our ministry has successively issued certificates for new feed raw materials such as Clostridium ethanol protein and methyl capsular protein, among which Clostridium ethanol protein has formed an annual production capacity of 25,000 tons.
In the next step, our department will continue to optimize and improve the safety evaluation requirements of feed microorganisms and their products, simplify the evaluation procedures of feed amino acids, microbial proteins and other related products, and accelerate the application of synthetic biotechnology research and development and related products for approval and marketing. Support the R&D, innovation and demonstration application of biomanufacturing technology for feed soybean meal substitute products, help improve the feed conversion efficiency of the aquaculture industry, and promote the high-quality development of the feed breeding industry with new quality productivity.
