But the media can't talk nonsense, and they can't start blindly taking rhythm without knowing the facts. As news media, they should be responsible for what they say, ensure the authenticity and objectivity of news, and consider the consequences caused by news.
I still remember when the media reported that watermelon sweeteners and sugar water were used, rumors were flying all over the sky, which brought a lot of economic losses to melon farmers (this news has not stopped so far)
What is the most eye-catching news now? One of them is food safety news related to people's livelihood, so you see, from CCTV People's Network to unknown self-media, every once in a while, some seemingly sensational materials will burst out with a scary title.
There is no stone hammer about the specific harm of frozen duck meat in this report, which is full of speculation, just like gossip.
Oh, Lao Li's children don't look like him. It's not with Lao Wang next door, is it? Yes, I think so.
You can say that this kind of behavior does not harm the virtue. Have you considered the feelings of Lao Li and her daughter-in-law? They may have been splashed with dirty water for no reason.
If a responsible media wants to report whether this duck can be eaten, it should at least be tested. Whether it is safe or not must be said by several people in the industry. What kind of antibiotics did you say there were, when did you use them, and how many are there in the market? What is the harm to human body?
Only unconfirmed inferences and unprofessional guesses dare to be sent out in an article? Is that the same title?
Original title: A roast duck only needs 18 yuan? The reporter's investigation found that the amazing inside story behind it is such a title. The articles are all kinds of rhythmic bright and dark, and they have been reprinted by many large media such as Phoenix.com and Tencent.com.
Are media reporters gossiping? What about the professionalism of journalists?
Let me analyze it.
Is a duck 18 yuan normal?
In fact, the varieties of meat ducks cultivated in modern times, like the fast-growing chickens used in KFC, are specially cultivated varieties with fast growth and low cost. Let's calculate the cost of farming.
How much does it cost to raise ducks? The following are the data found on the Internet. Aquaculture is not my major. Please correct me if there are any mistakes.
The breeding cycle of meat ducks is relatively short. Generally, it can be sold after 42-45 days of breeding, and it can be bred many times a year.
A duckling 1.5 yuan, duck feed 1.7 yuan Jin, a duck kept in the shed for 45 days, about 13 Jin.
The cost of a duck feed:1.7 *13 = 22.1.
A duck weighs about 6.5 Jin, and a Jin of duck in 3.9 yuan can sell for 25.35 yuan.
The above is the cost of farmers' own farming. The cost of large-scale farms should be lower, and the ducks used to make cheap roast ducks in the market are often only more than two kilograms. It only takes 30 days to sell, and the price is as low as one kilogram in 3 yuan.
3 yuan a catty of meat, processed and sold 10 yuan a catty. Why is it unreasonable?
In addition, friends in the comment area added that the by-products of ducks are valuable. Besides duck meat, ducks also include duck feathers, duck heads, duck tongues, duck intestines, duck hearts, duck claws, duck blood, duck gizzards and duck livers. Frozen ducks processed in batches are sold separately, so the price of a roast duck is 18 yuan. The news also mentioned "hairless duck"
According to farmers, it only takes about 30 days to raise ducks, and they can be sold without growing hair. Besides, they never eat their own ducks. In the process of raising ducks, in order to keep up with the growth speed of ducks, they will be supplemented with drugs. Wait for the duck's hair to grow completely before raising = hairless duck?
That's the teacher who told stories about white feather chickens, right?
Also, it is normal to use medicine for raising ducks. As long as it is not illegal, there is no harm. If I were a duck farmer, I might throw up after eating the duck. If you ask me if I eat, I will say no.
As a foodie and nutritionist, I say realistically that street roast duck is indeed suspected of being unhealthy, but its unhealthy point is that it is high in salt and oil, which belongs to pickled brine and baked food. Too many seasonings and food additives may be used, and small workshops may also cause health problems due to irregular operation. It is ok to eat once or twice occasionally, and it is not recommended to eat often.
Update the official rumor released by the Ministry of Agriculture before work last Friday.
Do the media that can't eat roast duck before dare to forward this article from the Ministry of Agriculture?

China is the largest producer and consumer of duck meat in the world. In 20 17, the number of white-feather ducks in China exceeded 2.5 billion, accounting for more than 80% of the total slaughter in the world, and the annual output value exceeded10 billion yuan. After 60 years of feeding, the production performance of white feather meat duck has been significantly improved.
At present, there are three main types of white feather meat ducks in China. The first kind is meat-fat Peking duck, which is mainly used to make high-grade roast duck products, such as Beijing roast duck and Guangzhou roast duck. The second kind is lean cherry valley duck, which is mainly used to produce salted duck, braised duck, sauce duck and fast food consumer goods. The third category is high-quality white feather meat duck and local hemp feather meat duck, which are mainly used to produce high-quality salted duck, braised duck, sauced duck and salted duck. Cherry valley meat duck accounts for about 80% of China white feather meat duck market.
A few days ago, the media reported1that a roast duck in 8 yuan is a meat duck product produced to meet the consumption pattern of mass fast food. This kind of meat duck products are mostly cherry valley ducks, and the feeding cycle is generally 30-32 days. China has strict requirements on the feeding environment of meat ducks. According to different market consumption demand, the feeding cycle of meat ducks ranges from 30 days to 45 days. Although the feeding cycle is short, the feeding environment and production and processing environment have strict standards. The feeding density of meat ducks is generally 8- 10 per square meter, which is beneficial to the feeding, drinking, activity and health of meat ducks. Most enterprises or farmers adopt automatic feeding system to save manpower, and duck drinking water conforms to the Hygienic Standard for Drinking Water (GB5749-2006). The feed used for meat ducks is all compound feed. At present, the meat duck slaughtering and processing factory in China has a complete set of assembly lines, advanced equipment and high degree of automation. Duck products are frozen and stored at low temperature, and the slaughter environment and storage are clean and hygienic. Therefore, the meat quality of meat duck is good, and all production links from breeding, slaughtering and processing, baking to sales are safe and reliable.
Judging from the production cost and profit, according to the current market price, 18 yuan 1 roast duck, farmers, slaughtering and processing enterprises and merchants still have certain profits. From the perspectives of biological development, heredity, breeding, feeding and food safety, meat ducks are released at about 30 days old, and their products are controllable in risk and safe in quality. Whether it is farmers, farms, slaughterhouses or food processing and sales, they can benefit from the industrial chain of meat ducks.
