From the seminar on the development of milk buffalo industry held in Nanning, it was learned that after 47 years of hard work, the milk and water buffaloes cultivated in China have reached 2,200 kilograms of milk, reaching the advanced level of the same buffalo in the world, with less consumption of refined feed and output. The advantages of animal protein, low cost and high return rate.
According to reports, China's buffalo is a type of marsh, has long been mainly used for military purposes, milk production performance is low. In 1957 and 1974, Guangxi Buffalo Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences imported river-type milk mora and nereilafi buffalo from abroad and scientifically improved the local buffalo in Guangxi.
In 2002, Guangxi achieved a major breakthrough in the biotechnology of buffalo embryos, established a set of reproducible and technically mature buffalo embryo in vitro production and embryo transfer technology systems, and created 22 heads of the world’s largest test buffalo herd, and The world’s first fully-in vitro frozen embryo transfer test tube buffalo, the world’s first test tube buffalo biguan, and the world’s first use of artificial insemination and embryo transfer technology, in the same mother to produce different species of Shuangyu buffalo and other worlds Record.
It is reported that with the improved local buffaloes of Mora and Nerelafi buffalo, in addition to maintaining the excellent characteristics of the female parent, the milk and meat production performance has increased exponentially. The hybrid generation of buffalo produces 1200 kg of milk, and the hybrid second generation buffalo produces 1500 to 1800 kg of milk, and the excellent individuals can reach 3500 to 3800 kg. The milk dry matter content of 16.5% ~ 22%, milk fat rate of 6.6% ~ 11%%, thick milk, color white, fragrant, low cholesterol, vitamins, trace elements than Holstein cow 1 to 2 times.
Zhang Xinshi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who came to Guangxi to inspect the aquatic milk industry, believes that milk-based buffaloes have laid a good foundation for the development of the aquatic milk industry in China. It is recommended that Guangxi play a “tau head†role in the research and production of milk buffalo and establish a rapid propagation system. Buffalo genetic protection work has made new contributions to accelerating the development of China's aquatic milk industry.
