ABSTRACT

Currently, very few countries use imported animal health standards to control national biosecurity. The construction of China's entry animal health standards system is still blank. New Zealand is the first and most comprehensive country in the world to formulate health standards for imported animals. This article studies the scientific management, core content and main features of New Zealand's entry animal health standard system, import licensing, animal and safety requirements, pre-export quarantine, port of entry quarantine and quarantine clearance, veterinary certificates and documents accompanying animals Requirements, etc. constitute the core content of the standard. The standard has the characteristics of mandatory, legal and authoritative, systematic, operable, timely and easy to obtain. Based on the comparative analysis of the characteristics and problems of China's entry animal quarantine supervision, innovative suggestions were made to draw on the New Zealand entry animal health standard system to formulate China's entry animal health standards and clarify their legal status, and elaborated on the preparation of China's entry animal standards. Principles, system composition, basic framework, core content and main measures.
