Regarding the hot dairy standard debate, the chairman of a domestic dairy company couldn’t help issuing a proposal, bluntly saying that the national standard milk hygiene index is too low, and it is recommended to increase milk somatic cell testing.Dairy cow health causes a concern.

　　 Industry insiders estimate that if the somatic cell test standard of 600,000 per milliliter is implemented, 80% of domestic milk is expected to be unqualified.

Previously, Nadamud, secretary-general of the Inner Mongolia Dairy Association, stated in an interview with the People’s Daily that if it is now required to implement the standards of developed countries in the dairy industry, most of the 70% of the scattered farmers will be Pour milk, sell cows, and kill cows.

　　In response to this situation, industry insiders have proposed that milk can be classified and the dairy industry standard can be gradually improved through market selection.

　　Domestic dairy cows are in poor health

It is understood that the somatic cells in milk are composed of macrophages, lymphocytes and polymorphonuclear neutrophils. The number of somatic cells reflects the health of dairy cows. Milk somatic cells produced by cows with mastitis and mastitis The number is larger, and the number of somatic cells produced by healthy cows is smaller. The above-mentioned chairman stated in his proposal: “The national standard must check the somatic cells in milk. It reflects the health of the cow. Milk with mastitis and mastitis cannot be drunk.”

An insider revealed to a reporter from China Business News that the incidence of dairy cow mastitis in China is far from the advanced level abroad. The incidence of dairy cow mastitis in the United States is 3% to 5%, and the incidence of dairy cow mastitis in China is no less than 30%, if the number of somatic cells per milliliter of milk is not more than 600,000 to check, it is estimated that 80% of domestic milk cannot meet the standard and can only be dumped.

In terms of microbiological indicators, the total number of fresh milk colonies was previously allowed to be 500,000 per milliliter. According to the new national standard, the total number of colonies was increased to 2 million per milliliter. This standard was criticized by Wang Dingmian, the president of the Guangzhou Dairy Association. The worst standard in the world.

　　Some officials from the Development and Reform Commission once pointed out that the introduction of such a standard has caused much controversy in the society. The above-mentioned chairman said: “The microorganisms in milk are mainly caused by infections in the later period from milking to before processing. The microbial indicators mainly reflect the methods and management level of the company’s process control of raw milk.”

In a closed environment, the cows are squeezed out by the milking equipment and quickly enter the fresh milk refrigerated tanks, and then enter the processing workshop through the cold chain transportation system. As long as the contact with air and the external environment is minimized, the number of microorganisms in the milk can be minimized . According to the proposal, Australia requires microorganisms that exceed 500,000 per milliliter to be inedible. According to this standard, only 30% to 40% of domestic milk can meet the standard.

　　 Raising standards may cause scarcity of milk sources

　　Wen’s Group Vice President Huang Songde told reporters that the Wen’s Group’s own dairy cows have a microbial index of only about 100,000 colonies per milliliter, and the control level of microorganisms in milk is much higher than the national standard. However, Huang Songde admits that the investment in raising dairy cows and producing milk according to the above-mentioned standards is huge. Only importing high-quality dairy cows requires about 23,000 yuan for one cow, and 230 million yuan for introducing 10,000 cows. In addition to other inputs, the capital is consumed. More.

　　Wen’s Group has been exploring the field of milk farming for about 10 years. At present, the annual output of raw milk is only more than 20,000 tons, of which a larger part is exported to the Hong Kong market.

　　 Modern Dairy’s Feidong Ranch has a design inventory of 20,000 cows, which meets or exceeds the standards for microorganisms and somatic cells in European and American countries. The total investment reaches 700-800 million yuan, and the net profit rate can reach 19%. The profit is considerable. But even if all 20,000 cows produce milk at a level of 8 tons per year, the annual supply of raw milk is only 160,000 tons, which is only 0.4% of the country’s total of 35.75 million tons in 2010. If the domestic dairy industry is required according to the standards of Feidong Ranch of Modern Animal Husbandry, whether sufficient milk can be supplied may become a big problem.

The above-mentioned National Development and Reform Commission officials previously introduced that in the dairy farming sector in China, about 60% of them are farmer households. Raising dairy cows and selling raw milk are still an important means for many farmers to increase their income. If we strictly follow the microbiological and somatic testing standards of developed countries in Europe and America. It is expected that a large number of dairy farmers will lose their jobs.

When the interests of all parties are entangled and the existing national standards are difficult to modify, some people in the industry have suggested that milk can be graded according to microbial indicators and somatic cell indicators and marked on the milk packaging so that consumers can take what they need. The market makes a choice.

“Why can’t we clearly indicate the milk grade standards on the packaging, so that consumers can clearly choose. Low-grade milk may be the last choice, or not be selected, this is in line with the law of the survival of the fittest in the market economy, and improving quality It has really become a necessary choice for the survival and development of enterprises. Some propaganda always talk about concepts, and consumers are becoming more and more unable to understand. If you can see quantitative indicators on the packaging, this communication will be more direct and effective. The understanding becomes clearer and clearer, not more and more confused.” The above-mentioned industry insider said.
