(New Year to the grassroots) gene technology "national team": high-tech to help the revitalization of rural areas in Inner Mongolia
China News Network Hohhot, January 21 Title: Gene Technology "National Team": High Technology Helps Rural Revitalization in Inner Mongolia

"This winter's beef price is more than 40 yuan per catty, and everyone is happy!" Approaching the New Year, livestock trading in various parts of Inner Mongolia has come to an end. Uni Menghe is a staff member of the Alxa Left Banner Animal Husbandry Improvement Station of the Alxa League, and has been cooperating with the team of Li Guangpeng, a professor at Inner Mongolia University, for scientific research in recent years.
"They analyzed where the meat of Mongolian cattle is good: good quality, high meat production, adapted to the harsh ecological environment of Alxa, and at the same time protected the local ecological balance." On the 21st, Unimon and excitedly accepted the reporter's interview.
In the academic circle, Li Guangpeng is a "big bull" and has presided over a number of major national science and technology projects. His research includes obtaining the world's first primary and secondary oocyte spindle swap mammals and creating the world's first cloned mule.

In the process of rural revitalization in Inner Mongolia, Li Guangpeng is a "guide." For more than ten years, he has used genetic and cloning technology in Inner Mongolia, where agriculture and animal husbandry are the pillar industries, to protect, develop and enhance the local characteristic breeding livestock resources in Inner Mongolia.
"One of the purposes of the existence of universities is to help the territory solve the problem of 'stuck neck' in the process of social development." Li Guangpeng told reporters that the livestock breeding industry is a long-term development industry that requires the state's top-level planning, a lot of investment and time. "Our cloning technology and gene technology are leading the world. Over the years, I just want farmers and herdsmen to enjoy the dividends of science and technology and improve their lives. ”
Over the years, Li Guangpeng led the team to cooperate with local agricultural and animal husbandry enterprises and non-governmental organizations in Inner Mongolia to explore a rural revitalization road for industry-academia cooperation. The model has been successfully applied to Ulanqab, Xilin Gol, Xing'an League and other places, and the effect is good.
"We plan, local non-governmental organizations to promote, implement, radiate farmers and herdsmen." In this chain, everyone performs their duties and has a clear division of labor. The scientific research team is responsible for scientific and technological research and development and innovation, the enterprise is responsible for raising funds, coordinating local resources, and "landing" the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and farmers and herdsmen are responsible for follow-up large-scale breeding.
"It's a step-by-step partnership. In the end, everyone benefits. Liu Jianning, chairman of Inner Mongolia Fengdong Zhiying Animal Husbandry Technology Co., Ltd., cooperated with Li Guangpeng's team 5 years ago to cultivate dairy sheep suitable for local and dual uses of milk and meat. At present, the company has established more than 4,000 large-scale dairy sheep herd farms, which also fills the gap in domestic dairy sheep breeds. "We respect knowledge, and Teacher Li respects our labor. None of us can do without anyone. ”

Farmers and herders do not understand technology, and what impresses them is efficiency. In Alxa, the weight of a Mongolian cow has increased from the previous average of 200 kg to 400 kg, and the meat production rate has increased by more than 1 times; in Ulanqab, more than 3,000 herders have increased their annual income from 50,000 to 60,000 yuan to 120,000 yuan by relying on breeding sheep cloning technology; in Bayannaoer, exploring the use of dairy beef and promoting nearly 4,000 beef cattle...
"When we confront herders, we don't talk about advanced biological knowledge and principles, but we communicate in a language that they can understand and are interested in." Li Guangpeng sighed and said that herders are concerned about the calving rate, survival rate, the speed of growing fat, and the benefits produced.
In Alxa, Li Guangpeng leads a team to investigate the distribution of Mongolian cattle every year, sample and observe the development of blood samples, muscle tissue, reproductive performance, uterus and other developments, and then study how different genes work in the cattle. What farmers and herders have to do is to cooperate with the team to raise cattle in a scientific way, and then sell the cattle to make money.
"When collectivizing aquaculture, there is little management and modern technology involvement." At present, Li Guangpeng's scientific research team has a total of 9 people, and some of the backbone is his doctorate. Su Guanghua is one of them, taking root at the grassroots level for nearly 100 days a year. "What we have to do is to use existing biotechnology to change this situation in rural pastoral areas."
Nowadays, a team of herdsmen and technicians has grown in the vast grassland pastoral areas of Inner Mongolia. "Originally it was our team that went down to help the herders ivory, and now they do it themselves." Li Guangpeng talked about the changes and talked endlessly.
A few days ago, as a non-party personage, Li Guangpeng was also awarded the title of "Advanced Individual" in the appraisal of "contributions made by various democratic parties, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, and non-party personages to building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way." "It was a pleasure, but not a surprise. Because that's what I've been doing all along. Scholars, well, that's how it should be. ”
"Rural revitalization needs high-tech support. In fact, we researchers need to go out of the laboratory. "Li Guangpeng was deeply touched." Our research direction and topics are from cowsheds, sheep pens and grasslands, and we can't always talk to laboratories and mice. ”
"Conventional, practical technologies such as embryos, IVF, and conventional IVF are considered to be of relatively little importance and research significance in the laboratory, and are very much needed by enterprises and farmers." Yang Lei, the lab's youngest researcher, told reporters that years of fieldwork have corrected many of his "biases."
"In the long run, we still have a lot of room for future development. For example, in the direction of breeding livestock improvement, at present, farmers and herdsmen are looking forward to excellent breeds suitable for local breeding, and at the same time, they are eager to have the technology and concept to guide their practical operation. "Perennial fieldwork has made Su Guanghua more determined in his future research direction." This is also the value of our scientific research, facing the needs of regional development and solving practical problems. (End)
