A few days ago, Asia's first domestic pig breed with ultra-clear gene map - Luchuan Pig Public Brand Press Conference and Product Promotion Conference was held at the Beijing National Convention Center, and the golden signboard of Luchuan Pig was even more shiny. This is also one of the achievements of the Guangxi Animal Husbandry Research Institute in writing a new chapter in the support of local animal husbandry development and promoting the transformation and upgrading of the animal husbandry industry in the whole region.
For a long time, relying on the national postdoctoral research station and the Guangxi Key Laboratory of Livestock Genetic Improvement established by the Institute, Guangxi Animal Husbandry Research Institute has fully applied scientific research achievements such as "supporting breeding of high-quality pigs based on local pig breeds in Guangxi and the key technological innovation and promotion and application of production", and continued to support Luchuan pigs to do a good job in the protection and development and application of breed resources. Focusing on the modern ecological breeding mode of livestock and poultry integrated by innovation-driven projects such as "livestock and poultry ecological breeding mode and key technological innovation demonstration", Luchuan County was guided to carry out the development of Luchuan pig industry in the ecological breeding mode of "elevated mesh bed + probiotics", and the results were gratifying.
Luchuan pig is China's native pig breed, in 2006 was listed as a national genetic resources protection breed, has thousands of years of breeding history, due to stable genetic performance, obvious hybrid advantages, tender meat taste, has the title of the mother of Asian native pigs.
"In the next step, we will increase support for the development of local animal husbandry, and provide strong support for Luchuan pigs in breed breeding and standard construction, brand maintenance and traceability management, industrial chain and efficient link work." The relevant person in charge of the Guangxi Animal Husbandry Research Institute said.
