Development trend of black goat breeding

There are more than 170 million goats in China, of which, in addition to milk, cashmere, leather and wool goats, meat goats and ordinary goats with low production level account for more than 100 million. These sheep need to improve meat production performance or develop in the direction of meat use, in order to achieve this goal, cross improvement must be carried out, and there must be patrilineal breeds for cross improvement. Although China is a large sheep-raising country in terms of quantity, it is a weak sheep-raising country in terms of quality. Therefore, our country should expand the breeding of characteristic black goat breeds. Although the number of its stock has reached tens of thousands, it is still far from meeting the requirements of the market for improved breeds of goats, and it is necessary to further accelerate the pace of industrialization development of black goats. Black goat is a good breed of meat goat nowadays. Its strain is very good, now it has been distributed in Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Guizhou and other places, the number has reached more than 200000. Weiyan black goat has the characteristics of strong fecundity, fast growth, large physique, high meat yield, good meat quality, excellent skin plate, stable heredity, wide adaptability and remarkable effect of crossbreeding and improvement of local goats.

It can be conceived at the age of 6 months, 2 births in 1 year, 3 births in 2 years, and 3 births in 2 years, sometimes as high as 4: the average lambing rate per birth is about 236%, the weight of ewes can reach 60,80kg, rams can reach 90,130kg, and the body weight can be increased by 20% and 30%.

Among the sheep breeds in China, Weiyan black goat has the advantages of large size, high meat yield and good benefit. at present, Weiyan black goat has been introduced and used as a terminal hybrid paternal breed for breeding and meat goat production.

Practice has proved that, no matter in terms of ecological, economic and social functions, or in terms of adjusting the industrial structure, improving people's living standards, and achieving eugenics for the whole people, the development prospect of black goats is neither three or five years. It is not ten years or eight years, but has broad and long-term development prospects. It can be said that the introduction, rapid propagation and cross utilization of Black Sheep will lead to a revolution and leap in China's meat goat industry.
