On April 1st, the National Animal Husbandry Station and the German Breeding Breeding Center jointly held the signing ceremony of the Implementation Project of the Dairy Simmental Milk and Beef Cattle Promotion Project in Beijing, marking the "About the signing of the Department of International Cooperation of the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture and the Bavarian Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. The cooperation agreement for the promotion and application of Ashkenazi Simmental (Flewih) milk and meat genetic material and related technologies was officially launched.
Yao Xiangjun, deputy director of the Department of International Cooperation of China's Ministry of Agriculture, said in his speech that since the reform and opening up, China's cattle industry has continued to develop rapidly, and the production of milk and beef has continued to increase, and the number of herds in cattle ranks third in the world. In order to further accelerate the pace of breed improvement in China's cattle industry and raise the level of production, the Ministry of Agriculture decided to introduce and promote Ashkenazi Simmental dairy cattle and cattle and related technologies through on-site inspection and full demonstration. The Ministry of Agriculture has entrusted the National Livestock Husbandry Station with the responsibility for concrete implementation. It is hoped that through the full implementation of this project, cooperation and exchange between animal breeding agencies, research institutes and universities in China and Germany will be promoted, mutual benefits will be achieved, and the overall technological level of breed improvement in China's cattle industry will be promoted.
The chairman of the National Animal Husbandry Station, Mr. Gu inherited, said that in order to organize the implementation of the Sino-German cooperation agreement, the National Animal Husbandry Station and German Breeding Breeding Company have fully negotiated and demonstrated and worked out a project implementation plan. According to the implementation plan, the National Animal Husbandry Station is responsible for organizing the implementation of the regional improvement test; the German Baoniu Breeding Center is responsible for providing high-quality frozen semen of the Ashkenazi Simmental milk and beef, and training technicians; the project experts are responsible for the centralized testing of the scale cattle farms. .
Gucheng told reporters that the project started in 2008 and ended in 2012, and the implementation time is five years. The contents of the implementation mainly include testing the effectiveness of German breeds of Simmental milk and beef with high-quality frozen semen to improve the existing Chinese cattle breeds, and assessing their economic benefits; and promote the advanced technologies of German livestock breeding, production and management. In order to improve the accuracy of the test results, two test methods will be adopted. First is the regional improvement test. Select provinces (districts) with obvious regional representativeness, solid improvement work, beef cattle production, and German Simmental milk and meat testing. The adaptability, production performance and improvement effect of cattle in the existing breeding conditions in China; the second is the concentration of cattle farm testing, the contents of which mainly include records of breeding, calf birth and growth and other information, determination of meat performance, milk use Performance, reproductive performance, etc. At present, according to the actual situation of China's cattle industry production, with the agreement of the Ministry of Agriculture and the provincial administrative department of animal husbandry, the National Animal Husbandry Station has selected Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Shandong, Henan, and Xinjiang as project implementation provinces (districts).
Gu inheritance indicated that the National Animal Husbandry Station is China's state-level animal husbandry technical support organization and has the confidence and ability to organize and implement the Sino-German cooperation projects. Through the implementation of the Sino-German cooperation project, not only Germany's excellent livestock breeds were introduced, but also Germany’s advanced experience in livestock breeding and production management was learned. Together with the German Baoniu Breeding Center, they gradually expanded their cooperation fields and jointly promoted the Sino-German agricultural sector. The full cooperation.
It is understood that the Ashkenazi Simmental is one of the world's most famous breeds of both dairy and meat. It has high milk production and meat production performance. The heifer has a high residual value, low production costs, and significant integrated breeding benefits. According to the statistics of the German Ministry of Agriculture, over 650,000 cows have been registered and their average milk yield is 6,768 tons. The average milk fat rate is 4.15% and the average milk protein rate is 3.50%. Under normal circumstances, the mother quail is used for milk production, and the male cricket gains weight quickly. It is suitable for fattening cattle.
