Rather, farmers should boil livestock excrement before using it as feed, at least for the time being, with the province strongly warning agricultural communities to suspend raising livestock if they lack the necessary kindling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The authorities are essentially demanding that livestock farms and private livestock farmers boil all their fodder at over 100 degrees celsius. If they cannot, they must suspend their livestock-related activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The province also ordered that farms should stop sending pig and dog excrement to breeding grounds for black fly larvae, which are used as animal feed, because of questions over whether using such unsanitary material to breed black fly larvae is a good idea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Farmers have welcomed this last order in particular. According to them, it was the party that ordered people to gather excrement to send to the breeding grounds, so they are happy to stop doing that if the party says so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the source also said the leadership made it clear there will be only a temporary suspension, and that farms will have to resume excrement collection in the future \u201csince party livestock policy calls for black fly larvae production.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, Yanggang Province&#8217;s party committee called on city and county quarantine agencies to ensure strict compliance with regulations by paying frequent visits to livestock bases and households that raise livestock to see if they are breaking the rules, and to punish any violators.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Translated by David Black.
