In May, the grassland is gradually green, full of vitality, under the blue sky and white clouds, the cattle and sheep are grazing leisurely, and a hopeful grassland pastoral picture slowly unfolds......
In the Gannan Yak Industry High-quality Development Demonstration Park of Hequ Horse Farm in Maqu County, cattle sheds, feed mills, processing workshops, etc. are readily available, and the yaks raised in the house are ready to be slaughtered.
The Gannan Yak Industry High-quality Development Demonstration Park of Hequ Horse Farm has 5,000 square meters of greenhouses, 4,000 square meters of forage sheds, and 4 sets of feed processing equipment. Over the past two years of operation of the park, it has driven the surrounding herdsmen to carry out large-scale breeding, realized the winter feeding of yaks and the slaughter of yaks in four seasons, thereby reducing the bearing pressure of Maqu natural grassland and further driving the local farmers and herdsmen to increase their income and become rich.
"Our demonstration park base has built a new industrial pattern with the base as the traction, the cooperative as the link, and the family ranch and herdsman management as the main body through the expansion of the cow herd and the efficiency of the herd, the custody of the cattle, the provision of jobs, the training of technical talents, and the signing of acquisition contracts. In 2023, more than 1,200 yaks will be slaughtered at the base, and a total of more than 30 yuan will be distributed to 107 herdsman families and 5 village collectives. ”
In recent years, Gannan Prefecture has accelerated the construction of a million-head plateau characteristic yak industrial belt, established 8 yak breeding bases, built 5 10,000-head yak breeding bases, 10 1,000-head breeding bases, 136 large-scale breeding bases, and transformed and upgraded the production level of 5 10,000-mu forage bases to effectively guarantee the supply of forage. Through the construction of 10,000 yak breeding bases, the implementation of the "house feeding" and "supplemental feeding" of the scientific breeding model, and actively promote the new technology of efficient and green yak breeding, to point to the area to drive more farmers to develop "house feeding + half house feeding" moderately intensive, large-scale breeding, and with the establishment of order production relations with enterprises, to achieve four seasons of slaughter, improve the level of modernization of the animal husbandry industry, effectively save the cost of breeding, improve the overall efficiency of the development of the yak industry.
The base breeding of yak in Gannan not only improves the yak slaughter rate and increases the income of herdsmen, but also lays a solid foundation for the green transformation and development of the yak industry in Gannan, which is of great practical significance for the in-depth implementation of ecological protection and high-quality development in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and the continuous consolidation of the balance between grass and livestock.
Dong Zhibu, deputy director of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Maqu County, introduced: "There are 809,000 yaks in Maqu County, and there are 157 professional breeding cooperatives, driving 60% of the herdsmen in the county to achieve large-scale and scientific breeding. The establishment and operation of the breeding base can ensure the slaughter in all seasons, which not only protects the ecological environment in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, but also promotes the balance of Maqu grass and livestock, and further increases the income of local herdsmen. ”
The high-quality development of the Gannan yak industry has always adhered to the orientation of green development and market demand, extended the industrial chain, strengthened scientific and technological support, accelerated the formation of the coordinated development of breeding, breeding, production, supply and marketing, and built the "six systems" of improved breeding, intensive breeding, fine processing, serialized standards, brand marketing, and supporting guarantees, so as to promote the transformation and upgrading of the Gannan yak industry from traditional breeding methods to green modern and intensive development.

Base breeding is the high-quality development of the yak industry
Inject new energy
Gannan, as one of the five major pastoral areas in the country, its unique ecological environment has given birth to precious biological resources, among which the Gannan yak is undoubtedly one of the most precious resources. Relevant data show that the best quality yaks in the country live in the Gannan grassland, which makes the yak industry play a pivotal role in the development of Gannan. The high-quality development of the yak industry not only plays an important role in economic development, improvement of people's livelihood and regional prosperity, but also plays a vital role in improving the income of farmers and herdsmen, promoting ecological protection and balancing grass and livestock in the Gannan grassland.
Through the construction of a breeding base for 10,000 yaks, Gannan actively promotes the new technology of efficient and green yak breeding, which is like spring breeze and rain, injecting strong impetus into the high-quality development of the yak industry. These bases not only improve the slaughter rate of yaks, increase the income of herdsmen, but also lay a solid foundation for the large-scale, scientific breeding and green transformation and development of Gannan yaks. In the breeding work of the yak base, a series of standardized breeding procedures have been implemented, so that the traditional yak breeding methods can be improved and upgraded. This series of regulations not only improves the modernization level of the animal husbandry industry, effectively saves the cost of breeding, but also realizes a significant increase in the slaughter rate of yaks and a substantial increase in the income of farmers and herdsmen. This innovative model has a positive impact on the upgrading and development of traditional industries, and it shows the great potential for the high-quality development of the Gannan yak industry.
The road is long and the line is coming. In the future, Gannan will focus on building the "six systems" of improved breeding, intensive breeding, fine processing, serialized standards, brand marketing, and supporting guarantees, so as to boost the transformation and upgrading of the yak industry from traditional breeding methods to green modern and intensive development, and launch the "Gannan yak" brand, effectively promote the development capacity of the yak industry in Quanzhou, increase the income of farmers and herdsmen, inject new vitality into the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy of Gannan, and open up a new way for farmers and herdsmen to increase their income and get rich.
