China is stepping up its efforts to ensure orderly production and distribution of meat, dairy products and eggs amid its fight against the novel coronavirus outbreak.

Local authorities should encourage feed plants, slaughterhouses and animal product processors to resume production as soon as possible to increase supply, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said.

Live animal transport, feed supply and the operation of slaughterhouses were affected in the wake of the epidemic, taking a toll on the country's husbandry industry.

Local authorities must not resort to measures such as destroying roads or building roadblocks that hamper the orderly production and transportation of husbandry products without the authorization of higher-level governments.

The ministry ordered local authorities not to hold up vehicles that transport animal feeds, live animals and husbandry products. It banned slaughterhouse closures and urged local authorities to intensify quarantines to ensure market supply and food safety.
