The second phase of the second phase of the third national livestock and poultry genetic resources census was fully completed

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, recently, the second phase of the third national livestock and poultry genetic resources census was fully completed. For more than a year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has organized nearly 70,000 professionals, 714 livestock and poultry genetic resource protection units and core breeding farms across the country to concentrate on 1,445 livestock, poultry, bees and silkworms in accordance with the Central Seed Industry Revitalization Decision and Deployment. The body shape, appearance, characteristics, and excellent traits of the varieties were measured on-site, and 12.24 million pieces of data were obtained, achieving full coverage of the census varieties, key indicators and census areas, laying a solid foundation for the successful completion of the census tasks.

It is reported that the on-site measurement of production performance is a new requirement and new highlight of the third national general survey of livestock and poultry genetic resources, and it is a comprehensive investigation of my country's livestock and poultry genetic resources. Through the measurement of production performance, it has filled the gap in the data of phenotypic characteristics of genetic resources of livestock, poultry, bees and silkworms in my country, which is of great importance for in-depth understanding and mastering of resource status, finding out the germplasm characteristics of resources, and accelerating the innovation and industrialization of livestock and poultry breeding. significance.

This year is the key year for the revitalization of the seed industry to "lay the foundation in three years", and it is the year when the third national livestock and poultry genetic resources census ends. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will closely focus on the goal and task of accelerating the construction of a strong agricultural country, and will fully promote the identification, development and utilization of genetic resources of livestock and poultry according to the requirements of the Central Seed Industry Revitalization Action Plan. The industry recommends excellent resources and typical cases of development, mobilizes the enthusiasm of the whole society to care for protection and scientifically utilize resources, and create a good atmosphere.
