Xinjiang to crack the lag problem of animal husbandry development

introduction:Not long ago, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region launched the "Xinjiang new 10 million out of the column of meat and sheep comprehensive production capacity-building plan (2012-2015)," which not only became the region's important measures to improve the supply capacity of meat and sheep and farmers and herdsmen income, but also was given the historical task of cracking the lag situation of animal husbandry in XinjiangThe implementation of the plan will significantly increase the supply of lamb in XinjiangVCZMeat and sheep farming to promote agricultural incomeVCZXinjiang existing out of more than 30 million sheep, lamb production reached 600,000 tons, per capita lamb consumption of 20 kgVCZ
"The addition of 10 million lambs is equivalent to an increase of 250,000 tons of lamb production on the basis of the existing one, and an increase of 10 kg per capita annual lamb production." On March 2, Zhao Xinchun, chief livestock officer of the Autonomous Region's Livestock Department, said that with the addition of 10 million lambs, the average annual rate of meat and sheep in the whole territory will reach 17%, an increase of 10 percentage points over the past"We roughly calculated the account, if a family out of 50 sheep each year, the net income of herders in the settlement area up to 15,000 yuan, farmers in rural areas up to nearly 10,000 yuan, if half of the region's farmers and herdsmen have such income, will have a very large role in improving people's livelihood." "
VCZAt present, the plan has been included in the autonomous region in 2012 key livelihood projects, within 3 years, the region plans to raise a total of 11.9 billion yuan, around the nomads settled in the sheep's house feeding, meat and sheep efficient increase in production, forage protection system construction, lamb substitutes and other "four major projects" constructionVCZHow will the forage be protected?VCZIn accordance with the requirements of the Plan, the autonomous region will focus on the cultivation of meat and sheep with high meat production and fast breeding through the development of multi-baby meat and sheep, agricultural areas and pastoral settlement areas of meat and sheep breeding, meat and sheep economic hybridization, meat and sheep standardized scale fattening and other measures VCZ
　　"Xinjiang has a long history of developing animal husbandry, meat and sheep breeding methods, breeding system has matured, the biggest question now is how to protect forage?" Zhao Xinchun said VCZ At present, the whole area of cultivation of less than 2 million mu, in the past, the autonomous region developed 5 million mu of artificial forage land, now also less than 1 million mu can be used, these forage to maintain the survival of existing livestock has been tight, the addition of 10 million lambs means to add another 8 million tons to 10 million tons of forage, this part of the grass from where? VCZ It is understood that since 2008, the price of lamb in Xinjiang continued to rise, many people think that is due to the shortage of supply In fact, the real reason for the increase in prices is that the cost of feed and labor costs have increased, which has brought the livestock and poultry industry into a period of high cost VCZ
　　"Now, 1 kg of wheat grass is more than 1 yuan, and wheat prices are about the same Zhao Xinchun to the author calculated an account: if the average purchase price of a fat sheep is 650 yuan per animal, the average price sold is 1000 yuan per one, according to the average feeding 80 days out of the column calculation, the cost of fattening each sheep is 289.4 yuan, Among them, the cost of forage each day 1.5 yuan, the cost of materials per day 1.78 yuan, plus labor costs, utilities, site rent, fattening a sheep's net profit is only 70.6 yuan, the profit is not as good as farmers go out to work a day to earn more VCZ in the past, relying on the unpaid use of natural grasslands, pastoral farming costs are low, high profits, but now the degradation of natural grasslands is increasing, this development is clearly unsustainable "If the problem of forage is not solved, the price of lamb may be higher, " Zhao said VCZ , said Hou Guangtian, a researcher at the Academy of Livestock Sciences of the Autonomous Region, that on the face of it, the addition of 10 million new lambs is an increase in the supply of lamb in the whole territory, but behind it is a big test of grassland ecology VCZ The urgent task is to adjust the structure VCZ for the production and storage of forage, in Xinjiang is not a new topic, this work, the party committee of the autonomous region, the government almost every year new initiatives "In the face of 10 million sheep out of the column, we are a little overwhelmed in terms of forage, " said Hou Guangtian, of vcZ "Perhaps the most effective way is to make internal adjustments to the agricultural structure, " said Zhao Xinchun, of the VCZ "We will vigorously build new artificial grasslands in agricultural areas, and at the same time improve the utilization rate and replanting index of crop straw VCZ
　　"At present, the utilization rate of crop straw in the whole territory is only 40%, in these already used straw, some have not yet been detoxified and other technologies, which is a threat to the safety of beef and mutton Hou Guangtian added that this means that the rational use of crop straw, at the same time, to artificial cultivation of forage with appropriate policy subsidies to ensure the stable development of forage land Hou Guangtian, of VCZ, believes that in addition to the introduction of two years of three births in meat and sheep breeding, which compared with the previous year's one birth, the consumption of forage per sheep can be reduced by at least 30% VCZ
