With fatal outbreaks of swine and cow-borne diseases fresh in the memory, as well as the high profile threat from bird flu, members of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress began deliberating the new legislation yesterday in Beijing.

The proposed bill, in the pipeline since 2001, will enshrine in law key policies and measures that have proven instrumental in animal husbandry development, said Shu Huiguo, vice-chairman of the NPC Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee.

"皇冠体育app has enacted some laws and administrative rules in relation to animal husbandry, ... but as they each deal with one aspect or link of the sector, they cannot regulate the whole process of animal husbandry production and management," Shu said.

The draft seeks to address problems in animal and fowl product quality and epidemic control, Shu said.

According to the draft law, the government should offer financial and technical support to farmers to expand and improve production.

Livestock and poultry farms should meet epidemic prevention standards and have veterinarians to serve them, according to the draft law.
