Modern animal husbandry is a strategic industry that embodies the “Grand Food View” and helps build a diversified food supply system; it also serves as a pillar of the agricultural and rural economy. To implement the Outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People’s Republic of China and the “15th Five-Year Plan” for Accelerating Agricultural and Rural Modernization, and to further promote high-quality development of the livestock sector, this plan has been formulated.

To strengthen the animal disease prevention and livestock‑poultry farming pollution management system, comprehensive, centralized treatment equipment for the harmless disposal of dead livestock and poultry has been promoted and deployed in numerous regions. Employing an integrated high‑temperature rendering process, this technology simultaneously achieves pathogen inactivation and resource recovery, thereby establishing a complete industrial chain for the resource‑based utilization of waste from dead animals and poultry.
