    Introduction: China, a big agricultural country, is using the most advanced biotechnology in the world It plans to use more than 20 million buffaloes as "farm cattle" in China and improve them into "cows" in large quantities The Guangxi China buffalo research base, known as "buffalo Valley", recently announced that Chinese scientists have mastered the world's most advanced rapid expansion technology of buffalo population - "embryo transfer technology" Using this technology, they have successfully obtained a batch of test tube milk buffalo for the first time According to scientists, this will change the situation that China's Buffalo has been used only for farming cattle for thousands of years, so that it can not only cultivate but also produce milk, which not only provides new ways for farmers to increase income, but also provides more nutritious milk products for Chinese people 4ur scientists cultured the eggs of a batch of high-quality milk buffalo into embryos in vitro, transplanted them to 20 female Buffalo, and then gave birth to test tube Buffalo, which indicates that the reproduction technology of Chinese buffalo has reached the advanced level in the world "It will take at least 9 years for the traditional crossbreeding method to produce a pure quality milk buffalo Now the embryo is transferred to the female Buffalo, and the offspring is the high-quality milk buffalo After mass production of embryos, the rapid expansion of high-quality population can be realized, "said Jiang Hesheng, a scientist." in just a few years, all Chinese buffaloes can be improved into milk buffaloes that can earn huge profits " After identification, the nutritional value of test tube milk buffalo milk is 1.8 times higher than that of yellow milk, and the taste is good Jiang Hesheng said 4ur the number of Chinese buffalo is the third in the world, but the local buffalo does not produce milk A cow can be used for up to 80 days every year, which wastes grassland resources and has no economic benefits Water milk is the best kind of dairy products, its nutritional value is higher than the yellow milk that Chinese usually drink India Mora buffalo and Pakistan Nili Rafi buffalo are the best milk buffalo in the world More than 40 years ago, China introduced 55 Mora buffalo and 50 Nili Rafi buffalo For decades, scientists have used the traditional hybrid method to obtain a new generation of breeding cattle suitable for local growth, but the speed of variety improvement is slow, which can not make the high-quality population of milk buffalo expand rapidly 4ur at present, the Agricultural College of Guangxi University, which has cultivated China's first test tube Buffalo, is working hard for the birth of China's first cloned milk Buffalo; at the same time, a Chinese bioengineering company invested 100 million yuan in the development of buffalo project recently launched in Guangxi to obtain higher efficiency 4ur Chinese buffaloes are mainly distributed in the south More than 60 cities and counties in Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, Fujian, Zhejiang and other provinces have established milk buffalo development bases Among them, Guangxi, which has the largest number of buffalo stocks in China, plans to use 10 years to promote the population of milk Buffalo, so that the output value of milk will reach 12 billion yuan, and farmers will directly benefit 6 billion yuan According to statistics, China's annual per capita consumption of milk is only 6 kg, far below the global average of 100 kg, and the dairy market is huge Buffalo milk is becoming a popular new product in some southern cities "The natural conditions in the southern rural areas are very suitable for raising milk Buffalo, with less investment and great benefits The emerging industry of milk will get great development," said Li Fuchun, an economic expert 4ur (author:) to feed Weibo to:
