(Summary description)In recent years, the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences has cultivated a number of new breeds of livestock and poultry to help ensure the safety of the national seed industry in response to the country’s major needs for the livestock and poultry seed industry. This is what the reporter learned from the press conference of "Science and Technology Innovation Leading the High-Quality Development of Livestock and Poultry Seed Industry" held by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences a few days ago. Qin Yuchang, director of the Beijing Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that meat, eggs and milk are an important variety of people's "vegetable baskets". At present, the independent innovation level and provenance guarantee ability of my country's livestock and poultry seed industry continue to improve, and the main livestock and poultry core species source rate exceeds 75%. During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences strengthened the cultivation of new domestic livestock and poultry varieties and made new progress: With Beijing oil chicken as the material, the "Liyuan oil chicken egg chicken" and "Jingxing yellow chicken 103" broiler chicken line were cultivated. On the basis of maintaining the meat and egg quality and flavor, the egg production, fecundity and feed conversion efficiency were significantly improved . Using Beijing duck as the material, two lean meat duck supporting lines have been cultivated. In 2020, the number of promotion will reach 1.2 billion, accounting for 36.5% of the national market, breaking the monopoly of foreign varieties. A special supporting line for roast duck has been cultivated, and the traditional duck filling method is no longer used. In beef cattle breeding, the new beef breed "Huaxi Cattle" (tentative name), which is a crossbreeding of Simmental cattle and Chinese local cattle, is planned to pass the national new breed certification before 2022, which is expected to break the main dependence on imported beef cattle germplasm situation. In 2020, the first Chinese beef and fine beef tasting event was organized, and a number of local breeds were introduced. The "Pingliang Red Bull" that is being cultivated is expected to become a special beef breed. At the same time, the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences has cultivated the "Alpine Merino Sheep", achieving a major breakthrough in the cultivation of alpine fine-wool sheep, and co-cultivating a new breed of "Luxi Blackhead Sheep" with the local area to adapt to house-raising in northern farming areas. Utilizing domestic and foreign pig genetic resources, we have carried out the breeding of "Zhonghu No. 1" and "Zhonghu No. 2" fine pig breeds, and completed multi-generation breeding, which will provide support for the transformation and upgrading of the pig industry. The Central Economic Work Conference proposed that it is necessary to carry out technical research on seed source "stuck neck", and is determined to fight a turnaround in the seed industry. It is reported that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences will make arrangements for livestock and poultry germplasm resources, major species cultivation, condition and capacity building, and industrialization of results, promote the construction of the national livestock and poultry germplasm resources bank, and strengthen livestock and poultry germplasm resources. Biological breeding basic research and technological innovation research, strengthen the integration of science and technology enterprises to promote the industrialization of livestock and poultry breeding.
