Implementation of livestock embryo biotechnology cooperation project in Shanxi Province

Introduction: the signing ceremony of the livestock embryo biotechnology project of the cooperation between the Ministry of agriculture and the animal husbandry department of Shanxi Province was held in Beijing recently The main content of the cooperation is to use the embryo transfer technology to rapidly breed improved cows and rapidly improve the production level of cows in Shanxi Province The implementation of the project marks that Shanxi embryo biotechnology has stepped out of the laboratory and entered the stage of production and promotion Biotechnology is one of the most important technologies in the 21st century Its promotion will bring fundamental changes to animal husbandry In Shanxi Province, the experiment of embryo transfer was carried out earlier, including the experiment of bovine embryo cutting, the research of bovine embryo sex identification, the technology of embryo sex control, the in vitro fertilization of bovine oocytes and so on Shanxi province attaches great importance to and supports the research and test of biotechnology The planning and financial departments of Shanxi Province arrange special funds for the research of embryo transfer technology, introduce 300 improved bovine embryos from abroad, apply for the national "948" project, and introduce high-yield cow embryos and frozen semen from abroad, which lays a foundation for the development and promotion of embryo bioengineering technology in Shanxi Province And material basis Dairy has become one of the important industries in rural areas of Shanxi Province, with a good development momentum, but there are also problems such as low milk production level and low reproduction rate In order to speed up the quality improvement and the promotion of improved breeds of dairy cows in Shanxi Province, through many contacts with the relevant units of the Ministry of agriculture, it is agreed to cooperate in Shanxi Province to use embryo transfer technology to improve the individual production performance and breeding level of dairy cows, and to improve the Group production level and dairy quality of dairy cows in Shanxi Province This cooperation is not only the Ministry of agriculture's attention and support to Shanxi's animal husbandry, but also a new form and exploration of agricultural high-tech promotion directly facing the grass-roots level and production The implementation of the project will greatly improve the scientific and technological content and production level of Shanxi animal husbandry, promote the overall level of Shanxi animal husbandry, and speed up the construction of Shanxi animal husbandry province.
