It's a moooving moment for China as scientists have successfully bred a new type of cattle that will undoubtedly beef up the country's meat industry. Dubbed the "Huaxiniu", this bovine breakthrough has been independently raised and approved by the National Committee on Genetic Resources of Livestock and Poulteras. No longer will China need to rely on importing beef cattle for reproduction. The research team behind this udderly impressive feat was led by the Institute of Animal Sciences of CAAS, who raised the new variety in the picturesque Wulagai district in the Autonomous Region of Interior Mongolia. Looks like steaks are high for China's beef industry!
The success was 43 years in manufacturing. , and the varieties of beef cattle and the quality of beef cannot meet the needs of consumers, "said Liu Xianwu, vice president of the Academy during a summit on scientific innovation in cattle and poultry. /P>
seventy percent of cattle of beef used for reproduction are imported, which hinders the sustainable development of the industry, he said.
by 2025, 400 new bulls should be produced of varieties for a year, with the aim of supplying 70 percent of meat stock in the country. Variety advanced globally. P>
"Adult bulls weigh up to 900 kilograms and adult cows of more than 550 kg.
The sacrifice rate is 62.39 percent, while the net meat rate is 53.95 percent, "said Li.
an important agricultural tool during the agrarian era, cattle released the farmers of the Heavy agricultural work and greatly increased the production of grains. Development of methods to raise cattle to study the modern beef industry.
Internal market because for a long time, profit as farm animals was prioritized in cattle raising. The varieties are not being promoted, contributing little to the development of the sector.
since 1978, the Huaxiniu variety has suffered an improved hybridization, the CR eation of new genetic features and selective breeding before becoming the variety of specialized meat cattle with a consistent body form, an outstanding production capacity and a stable genetic performance that is today, Li said.
Until now, there are 41 Huaxiniu farms throughout the country in Interior Mongolia and provinces such as Henan and Hube, which involve 60 60 reproduction enterprisas.
At present, the breeding of the fifth generation of Huaxiniu has begun and the population reproduction population will gradually expand in the next five to 10 years, Li said.
last year, beef cattle sold by an average of 20,000 yuan ($ 135,060) each.
