<h1>Importing Angus beef cattle from Australia for self-rearing is a viable solution to China's beef shortage</h1>
"Liu Ziqiang"
Vice President, Global AGE Breeding Company, Australia
African swine fever has led to the closure of many pig farms, and it has become inevitable for Chinese consumers to upgrade their consumption of more beef. According to the survey, China needs 7 million tons of beef per year, and in 2018, the total import of beef and beef offal in Chinese mainland Zhengguan increased to 1.063 million tons, ranking first in the world for the first time, an increase of 348,000 tons year-on-year. Beef prices have been on the rise for the past 15 years.
At present, importing beef cattle breeds such as Angus from abroad for self-raising is a good solution. Many large funds in the financial market are optimistic about the market prospects of beef cattle and have begun to invest in new fattening enterprises in the beef cattle industry. On the other hand, the poverty alleviation policies and poverty alleviation funds introduced by the government throughout the country have also injected new vitality into the beef cattle breeding industry. Australia is an important source of high-quality beef and we are optimistic about the export prospects of the Australian Angus market in the future.
Australia Global AGE has 8 own farms in Australia, 3 nationally certified quarantine farms, and has more than 10 years of experience in exporting live animals, which can provide one-stop export and import live animal services for Chinese customers.

<h1>Create a comfortable environment for breeding cattle in the isolation yard and carefully care for the transitional breeding cattle</h1>
「Focus Update」
Deputy general manager and chief pastor of Beijing Muhuayuan Company
The nearly 6,000 cattle imported from Australia this time, the isolation site is in Luanzhou City, Hebei Province, which is an isolation field that we have been using continuously for a long time. It covers an area of more than 360 acres and has 21 barns. Fed with TMR whole diet.
The cattle have undergone long-distance shipping, and after arriving at the port, they have to go through automobile transportation to reach the isolation yard, which is indeed a great stress for the cattle. In order to allow the cattle to recover as soon as possible, we have taken the following measures:
1. After arriving at the scene, ensure that he drinks clean and hygienic water, and adds a certain amount of oral rehydration salt to the water, which can supplement electrolytes and promote cattle feeding.
2. After arriving at the scene, the group should be carried out as soon as possible. Adjust the density of the herd to ensure sufficient feeding space and comfort.
3, the barn and sports field in the next field have pergolas, even if the weather is hot, the impact on the cattle is not large, and we have made a response plan.
4, because these cattle in Australia are grazing, after going to the isolation farm, they should be fed with TMR, which is also a feeding conversion stress for cattle. According to our past experience, the first few days after the arrival of the cattle should be given high-quality oat grass, sheep grass or alfalfa to restore the digestive system of the cattle, and then give TMR diet to minimize the stress of the cattle.
The main task of the isolation site is to do a good job in the prevention and control of epidemic diseases in strict accordance with the provisions of the customs. Let the cow eat well, drink well, rest well, and ultimately make each of our customers satisfied.
