Technology blessed Ningxia beef and mutton on the state banquet table

"The sky is bright, the wild is vast, and the wind blows the grass to see the cattle and sheep.

Ningxia, in particular, has a population of only 7.

With the blessing of science and technology, Guyuan yellow beef was awarded the National Geographical Indication of Agricultural Products, and Yanchitan mutton was on the table for four state banquets

Beef Cattle: Germplasm Innovation and Efficient Breeding Simultaneously

Species are the foundation that determines the quality of all living things

Guyuan, located in the warm semi-arid climate zone of the Loess Plateau, is suitable for raising cattle

Since 2018, Ma Yun, the team leader and director of the Ningxia Key Laboratory of Ruminant Cell and Molecular Breeding, has led his members to tackle key problems in cattle molecular cell breeding and the cultivation of new lines of dominant traits

Based on the gene chip data, the genetic background analysis of Guyuan cattle was carried out; based on the multi-omics technology screening of meat quality-related loci and genes, 9 genes related to intramuscular fat deposition and 11 genes related to backfat thickness were identified.

"We strive to promote and popularize the ecological breeding technology system that organically combines good breeds - high-quality forage - most suitable livestock houses - good feeding - waste recycling after five years of innovation and development

To plant well, you have to be able to raise it to ensure the quality of the meat

Although the Guyuan Mountains have natural conditions and a long tradition of beef cattle breeding, the current situation is not optimistic

This post scientist of the national beef and yak industry technology system has started from multiple points such as planting, grass, breeding, raising, and management in the past five years, so that fellow villagers can accurately grasp the essentials of breeding

Liang Xiaojun's team has developed 14 new technologies, and created a high-efficiency beef cattle breeding model centered on the technology of "one mother breeds two calves" with beef cows instead of milking male calves, and the comprehensive benefit has increased by more than 10%

Tan sheep: create "variety, quality, brand"

"In the past, Ningxia Tan sheep had problems such as excessive subcutaneous fat, which especially affected the taste

In Tianyuan Sheep Breeding and Breeding Co.

Folks call their Tan mutton "Snowflake mutton"

Variety is the foundation of characteristic industries

Since 2013, Ma Qing, deputy director of the Institute of Animal Science of the academy, led a team to jointly tackle key problems with the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and other units, and established the identification technology of Tan mutton gene chip, revealing the unique flavor of Tan sheep.
related mechanism
.

"On this basis, we have carried out the research and development of mutton production technology with antioxidant and health care functions, and established 27 technical standards for the entire industry chain
.
" Ma Qing is proud that the team has systematically developed 36 products in three series of Chinese food, shabu-shabu, and barbecue.
, the highest price per kilogram of sliced ​​mutton is 680 yuan; it has cooperated with famous catering companies to develop "lamb jelly" and other dishes, which have become one of the main dishes of the G20 Hangzhou summit banquet
.

Technology: Provide strong supply for industrial development

To make beef and mutton both delicious and nutritious, it is inseparable from the support of science and technology, and even more inseparable from the top-level design
.

　　In 2020, in order to fully promote the construction of a pilot zone for ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Party Committee and government issued an implementation plan for the high-quality development of nine key industries in the autonomous region, including beef cattle and Tan sheep
.

　　This is an important starting point for Ningxia to implement the rural revitalization strategy and the "Four Improvement Actions"
.
Technology must provide a powerful supply
.

　　"The beef cattle industry closely focuses on the cultivation of new high-quality beef cattle groups and the efficient breeding of improved varieties
.
" Xu Xiaotao, director of the Rural Science and Technology Division of the Ningxia Science and Technology Department, told reporters
.

　　Tan sheep industry focuses on the key links of the entire industry chain of "planting, grass, raising, breeding, and management", and comprehensively tackles key issues such as breed selection, efficient planting and breeding, epidemic prevention and control, and high-value processing
.
A total of 46 science and technology projects of various types were implemented in the region last year
.

　　If you work for a long time, you will achieve something
.
In 2021, the breeding volume of beef cattle and Tan sheep in Ningxia will maintain rapid growth.
The number of beef cattle breeding will exceed 2 million, a year-on-year increase of 8.
8%, and the output value of the entire industry chain will reach 37.
9 billion yuan; the number of Tan sheep breeding will reach more than 13 million, a year-on-year increase.
8.
3%, and the output of mutton was 115,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.
5%
.

　　Technologists have handed in beautiful transcripts, but the exam is far from over
.

　　"Practicing the concept of big food, Ningxia's beef cattle and Tan sheep industry still faces many challenges
.
Although we are a small province, we have a big responsibility.
Technology will continue to make efforts to support the happiness of the people on the tip of the tongue
.
" Deputy Director of Ningxia Science and Technology Department Ha Yun said
