Recently, Sun Zhibo, a "celebrity" of beef cattle breeding in Jiutai District, Changchun City, got a "treasure". "With this equipment, we have built a 'rapid inspection station' in the barn. Sun Zhibo said.
This set of equipment has just landed in early April this year, and Jilin Province Boyu Modern Agricultural Industry Co., Ltd., founded by Sun Zhibo, has become the first user in the province.
Why is there such a convenient condition? Because the company has built a science and technology courtyard!
In 2023, the Jilin Provincial Association for Science and Technology, Jilin Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology, and Changchun Jiutai District Association for Science and Technology, relying on Boyu Company, will establish the Jilin Jiutai Beef Cattle Science and Technology Institute of the China Agricultural Technology Association to inject scientific and technological impetus into the development of the industry.
In the enterprise laboratory, the reporter saw a set of small equipment on the table. Sun Zhibo asked the reporter to do it: "This is a sample taken from a cow, you can try to test it." ”
Follow the instructions step by step, and finally put the test tube into the detector...... After 5 minutes, the reaction curve began to appear on the display, and in less than 20 minutes, the test results came out: the cattle were not infected.
While speaking, the developers of the detector, Zhao Lifeng and Guo Li, experts from Jilin University of Agricultural Science and Technology, came to the small courtyard. After the small courtyard was awarded, they became frequent visitors here.
Hearing that the reporter successfully operated the detector, Guo Li said: "The original intention of our R&D and design is to make the detection of beef cattle disease fast, accurate and simple, and solve the problems of lack of accurate diagnosis technology for first-line cattle disease, unscientific use of drugs, and unsystematic treatment and prevention." ”
"I have raised cattle for ten years, and I am most afraid that the cattle will be infected with diseases, and as soon as they fall, it will be a large ......" Thinking of the heavy losses, Sun Zhibo shook his head.
Beef cattle are infected with diseases, and the speed and accuracy of diagnosis are crucial. However, the inspection period is often long, and it is easy to delay the best processing period.
In order to solve the "pain points" of the breeding industry, the expert team of Jilin University of Agricultural Science and Technology relied on Boyu Company to carry out rapid and accurate diagnosis technology research on important beef cattle diseases, and finally, successfully developed detection reagents for common bovine viral diarrhea and bovine infectious rhinotracheitis virus, with small detection instruments, which are not only efficient and flexible, but also can be operated by anyone.
As a demonstration base for agricultural production, education and research, the Science and Technology Institute not only provides convenient conditions for technological innovation research, but also exerts energy in demonstration and promotion.
Boyu company breeding area of 112 hectares, after years of development, around the healthy breeding of beef cattle to establish a whole industry chain, and the surrounding more than 100 beef cattle farms to establish a cooperative relationship.
"With the support of a team of experts, we have established standards for healthy beef cattle breeding, and the farms we work with implement our standards to ensure the quality of meat. Sun Zhibo said.
A series of successful experiences in beef cattle breeding have also attracted many visiting and learning teams from inside and outside the province to the courtyard.
"We will also gradually develop a series of detection reagents for more pathogens. It is hoped that with the help of the demonstration and driving role of the small courtyard, a 'rapid inspection station' will be built in more cowsheds. Guo Li said.
At present, the expert team also aims at the problems of insufficient development of beef cattle slaughtering by-products and waste of resources, relying on the small courtyard to deepen the high-value development technology of by-products to promote the full release of economic value such as bones, blood, and internal organs.
"Let's go to the barn. The reporter hurried to follow the footsteps of the two experts. In front of the cowshed, Feng Yan and Li Xinhang, graduate students of the small school, were observing the records.
"Teacher, this cow may have a hoof disease. The students said.
Zhao Lifeng nodded after careful inspection: "Pay attention to remind the workers to divide this cow into columns in time, and then adjust the length and proportion of straw feed." ”
In the past year or so, this kind of on-site teaching has allowed the two resident graduate students to accumulate a lot of front-line practical experience. They ate and lived with the farm staff, and consulted the teacher in time when they encountered problems, which further smoothed the communication channels between enterprises and experts.
Initially, the two graduate students watched and learned from the experienced workers, but now they are able to come up with their own professional advice and solutions. "Experience" meets "theory", colliding with more and more "golden ideas".
Feng Yan's graduation thesis focused on the research on the effect of thymus peptide and spleen extract on the prevention and control of cattle after slaughter, and Li Xinhang's graduation thesis focused on the reuse of traditional Chinese medicine residues to develop functional veterinary products. Such a learning method rooted in the front line of the industry also makes them determined to devote themselves to related industries, and virtually accumulates employment advantages.
Technological innovation, popularization of science, and talent training...... In the science and technology courtyard built on the front line of the industry, more wonderful stories of revitalization and development are taking place.
