Solve the seven difficulties of animal husbandry with the development of a new normal

At the sixth Council of the third session of the China Animal Husbandry Association held not long ago, Wang Zongli, Deputy Director of the Animal Husbandry Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, made a report on the review and prospect of the development of China's animal husbandry in 2014. In his report, he pointed out that there are seven problems in China's animal husbandry at present. That is, supply and demand has entered a tight balance stage, production has entered a high-cost stage, the situation of animal disease prevention and control is grim, the hidden dangers of quality and safety still exist, the construction of livestock and poultry breeding system lags behind, the problem of environmental pollution has become increasingly prominent, and the scientific and technological support capacity is insufficient.

It is beyond reproach that as China's economy enters a period of transition, animal husbandry is facing both challenges and opportunities. While seeing the seven difficult problems, we should also see the potential of animal husbandry development under the prospect of large-scale agricultural development and the realistic consumption basis for the expansion of people's demand for meat, eggs, milk and other animal products. As a result, the overall output value of animal husbandry still has more room to rise, so the overall development prospect of animal husbandry in the future is bright.

While affirming the overall development prospects, we need to actively and steadily look for effective solutions to solve the seven difficult problems. In order to make the animal husbandry meet the great challenge, it depends on building a new normal of animal husbandry development through transformation and upgrading.

First, it should be in line with the local reality and accurately grasp the focus of the development of modern animal husbandry. Through the positioning of animal husbandry combined with the actual local ecological environment and breeding conditions, we can expand the development channel and space of animal husbandry through characteristic breeding, improved breed cultivation and the sale of fleshy leather products, so as to avoid competition in the Red Sea and jump out of the imitating and expelling consumption pattern. By meeting the new trend of personalized and diversified consumption, we can release the consumption potential and seize the commanding heights of the new animal husbandry subdivision industry.

Second, improve the integration of innovation. Specifically, it is necessary to improve the scientific and technological standardization of animal husbandry, increase the unit output rate and unit value through scientific planning and scientific breeding, so as to maximize the value of animal husbandry on the basis of unit area and unit consumption.

Third, reduce the cost of production. In the case of high labor cost, the reduction of unit production cost depends on the cost of raw materials and the cost of large-scale production and the integration of science and technology. Material cost as Wang Zongli said, protein feed raw materials are obviously insufficient, which depends on the national agricultural level to strengthen the cultivation of relevant raw materials, reduce the degree of dependence on foreign raw materials, and enhance self-sufficiency, so as to reduce dependence; the integration of science and technology and the scale of production depend on the introduction of improved varieties, the promotion of unit value, and the introduction and digestion and absorption of science and technology. In addition, based on the strategic role, development prospects and current bottlenecks of animal husbandry, the corresponding subsidies need to be strengthened at the national level.

Fourth, the green cycle of animal husbandry should be realized. If the pollution caused by animal husbandry can be effectively reused, it can not only reduce the proportion of pollution, but also produce added value. Through the effective creation of ecological chain, the upstream and downstream industries of animal husbandry can achieve green cycle.

Of course, the supporting mechanism is indispensable. This supporting mechanism includes not only medical assistance on the basis of large-scale animal husbandry and information platform, but also corresponding financing concessions, industrial development concessions and local sales preference. Only with the systematic construction and realizing the new normal of animal husbandry development, the seven difficult problems that will be faced in the future can be easily solved.
