Actively explore the way of changing grain to feed in line with the reality

This year's Central Committee document No. 1 clearly stated that it is necessary to speed up the development of grass and animal husbandry and carry out pilot projects of grain conversion to feeding and the combination of planting and breeding. This year's government work report has also made special arrangements for this. Vigorously promoting the conversion of grain to feed, focusing on the adjustment of corn planting structure, promoting the transformation of food crops to forage crops, implementing grass and livestock matching, and vigorously developing herbivorous animal husbandry, promoting the cycle of planting and breeding, the integration of production and increase, the consideration of grain and feed, and the combination of agriculture and animal husbandry are not only an important starting point for the adjustment of China's agricultural structure, but also an important starting point for optimizing the structure of animal husbandry and a rare opportunity to speed up the transformation and upgrading of modern animal husbandry. It is of great significance to the development of agricultural and rural economy.

Herbivorous animal husbandry is an indispensable part of modern animal husbandry. In recent years, the development of herbivorous animal husbandry in China has shown a good momentum, but the total amount of production and mode of production still lag behind the overall development level of animal husbandry, especially the huge gap between forage supply and demand. It has seriously hindered the development of herbivorous animal husbandry and even the whole modern animal husbandry. At present, China's grain production has achieved "11 consecutive increases", but it is also faced with the huge constraints of resources and environment. "adjusting the structure and changing the mode" has become an urgent task for the development of modern agriculture. there is an urgent need to speed up the construction of a new planting and breeding structure with consideration of grain and feed, combination of agriculture and animal husbandry, and circular development.

Corn and corn straw are the feed raw materials with the greatest demand in the breeding industry. taking corn as a breakthrough, guided by the demand for forage for herbivorous livestock, adjusting the planting varieties and utilization of corn, and giving consideration to the development of high-quality forage crops, it can not only meet the forage demand for herbivorous livestock breeding, but also promote the optimization and adjustment of planting structure, and explore useful experience for agricultural structure adjustment, which is the current construction of a new agricultural production structure in China. It can be said that the important measure to speed up the development of modern agriculture is to kill many birds with one stone, planting and cultivation plus three wins.

At present, the pilot project of changing grain to feed is being carried out in an all-round way. In order to promote the conversion of grain to feed, we should firmly grasp the direction of the combination of planting and breeding, break the original state of separation of planting and aquaculture, comprehensively consider the coordinated development of planting and breeding, establish a complete three-way planting structure of grain, open up the circulation channels of planting and breeding, and extend the industrial chain. improve comprehensive benefits. According to the scale of herbivorous livestock farming in the pilot areas, the pilot area of changing grain into feeding and the total amount of silage forage should be reasonably determined to ensure that the silage corn and other forage fodder produced by the replanting will be harvested and eaten by cattle and sheep, so as to achieve value-added transformation nearby.

In order to promote the conversion of grain to feed, we should pay attention to giving full play to the role of the main body of culture. Herbivorous livestock breeding enterprises are users of silage forage and the main body driving the transformation and value-added of planting products. They should fully mobilize the enthusiasm and initiative of breeding enterprises, demonstrate and lead farmers to adjust their planting structure and help farmers improve their planting income.

To promote the reform of grain feeding, we should fully respect the wishes of both growers and breeders. Aquaculture enterprises need what kind of forage, the demand is how much, it is up to the enterprises to decide; whether farmers change species, what varieties to change, it is up to farmers to decide, the key is to open up the market and improve efficiency. On the basis of comprehensively considering the characteristics of resource endowments and conditions in the region, all pilot regions should fully respect the wishes of both growers and farmers, adjust measures to local conditions, conform to the trend, choose grain for grain and grass for grass, and make pragmatic progress, so as to embark on a road of sustainable development in line with the actual situation of the region and industry.

In order to promote the conversion of grain to feed, it is necessary to give tangible benefits to farmers. The fund subsidy object of the grain conversion project is the collection and storage enterprises, and the government departments should coordinate the relationship between the enterprises and farmers and herdsmen, and fully take care of the interests of growers in the process of collection and storage transaction. It is necessary to take effective measures to urge enterprises to purchase in full in accordance with the contract, not to set technical requirements at will, and not to suppress purchase prices without reason, so that farmers can really enjoy the sunshine and warmth of financial funds.

Promoting the conversion of grain to feed and the development of herbivorous animal husbandry is a new attempt and initiative in the creation of agricultural policy under the background of the current agricultural transformation. To do a good job in the pilot work of changing grain to feeding and developing herbivorous animal husbandry is of great significance and arduous task, which is related to the transformation of agriculture, the adjustment of structure, the increase of farmers' income and the coordinated development of cultivation and cultivation. It is hoped that all localities will seize opportunities, do solid work, earnestly grasp the pilot work, ensure the effectiveness of policies, ensure the success of demonstration and guidance, and actively explore good ways in line with the reality of various localities, to make new contributions to vigorously promoting the construction of modern animal husbandry and speeding up the transformation of the mode of agricultural development.
