EN — What is Announcement No. 194? Issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on 2019-07-10 under the national action plans to curb antimicrobial resistance (按照《遏制细菌耐药国家行动计划(2016–2020年)》 and 《全国遏制动物源细菌耐药行动计划(2017–2020年)》部署), it withdrew growth-promoting drug feed additives from the Chinese market on a fixed timetable.

EN — The timetable, in plain terms:

  • From 2020-01-01: all growth-promoting medicated feed additives except traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) products were withdrawn — 退出除中药外的所有促生长类药物饲料添加剂品种 — production and import stopped, and product approval numbers were cancelled; already-produced stock could circulate until 2020-06-30.
  • From 2020-07-01: feed mills stopped producing commercial feed containing them — 饲料生产企业停止生产含有促生长类药物饲料添加剂(中药类除外)的商品饲料 — with stock sell-through until 2020-12-31.
  • Anticoccidials and TCM drug additives were not banned but reclassified: 不再核发"兽药添字"批准文号,改为"兽药字"批准文号 (from "feed-additive" approvals to "veterinary drug" approvals).
  • The old catalogues were repealed: 自2020年7月1日起,原农业部公告第168号和第220号废止。

EN — Why it matters for pet food: growth-promoting antibiotics are no longer lawful feed additives in China; a "medicated" pet feed making growth claims around antibiotics is a red flag. Products with prevention/treatment claims keep only their therapeutic use (删除促生长用途,仅保留防治用途), i.e. they are veterinary drugs, not routine feed ingredients.

中文 — 194 号公告是什么? 农业农村部 2019-07-10 发布,依据《遏制细菌耐药国家行动计划(2016–2020年)》《全国遏制动物源细菌耐药行动计划(2017–2020年)》部署,按固定时间表退出促生长类药物饲料添加剂。

中文 — 时间表(大白话):

  • 2020-01-01 起:退出除中药外的所有促生长类药物饲料添加剂品种,停产、停进口、注销批准文号;已生产库存可流通至 2020-06-30。
  • 2020-07-01 起:饲料生产企业停止生产含有促生长类药物饲料添加剂(中药类除外)的商品饲料,库存饲料可用至 2020-12-31。
  • 抗球虫药和中药类不禁但改管理:不再核发"兽药添字"批准文号,改为"兽药字"批准文号
  • 旧目录废止:自2020年7月1日起,原农业部公告第168号和第220号废止。

中文 — 对宠物饲料的实际意义: 促生长抗生素在中国已不能作为饲料添加剂合法使用;宣称"促生长"的含药宠物饲料是红旗信号。保留防治用途的品种(删除促生长用途,仅保留防治用途)按兽药管理,不是常规饲料原料。
