Anhui: Successful transplantation of Boer goat embryos in Lushan

Recently, the good news came from the Boer Goat Embryo Transplantation and Breeding Center in Guanzhuangba Town, Dangshan County: In the last batch of 50 local thoroughbred female goats that had undergone embryo transfer in October last year, 36 goats had successfully produced purebred goat goats. The rate is above 70%. This is the victory fruit of the high-tech means implemented by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. In recent years, Boer goats have always been the "bright spot" of the aquaculture industry. A purebred adult Boer goat is often priced at several tens of thousands of RMB. However, the traditional method of breeding Boer goats not only takes three to four years, but also Purity is difficult to guarantee. Embryo transplantation is a purebred Boer goat embryo that will complete the fertilization process. Through artificial surgery, it is transplanted into the ventral ewes' ewes and realizes “borrowing and giving birth”. A pure dream can be realized in one step. Last summer, Shao Jiaqian, the director of the Biyun Xuan brush painting factory in Jishan County, introduced technical personnel and 10 million yuan from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences to build an embryo transfer and breeding center. When Boer goat embryo transfer began last fall, many local farmers were skeptical. In order to dispel the public's doubts, Shao Jiagan purchased a batch of native thoroughbred female goats for experimentation. At the same time, he provided free embryo transfer to sheep raised by difficult households and veterans, and publicly promised that if the ewes die due to transplant surgery, Shao Jiaqing would be willing to assume double Times compensation. The town soon had 18 farmers to carry out goat embryo transfer. In the early spring of this year, there were 13 goat farmers who produced purebred boer goats. The two ewes of Zhang Juncun, a veteran of Zhangjiao Village, recently produced two purebred Boer goats and soon someone would bid for nearly 20,000 yuan to purchase. Zhang Junren said happily: “It was just a golden egg! How can I thank Shao Jiagan?” The good news about the success of the Boer goat embryo transfer has not stopped. Farmers who have come to carry out the emigration of goat embryos are in constant flux every day. According to preliminary estimates, the Embryo Transplantation and Breeding Center will transplant at least 3,000 ewes each year. According to the success rate of 50%, it will also produce 1,500 purebred Boer goats worth more than 20 million yuan.
