Ruminant animal genetics and healthy farming
1. Sheep germplasm conservation and utilization: collection and preservation of local sheep breed characteristic breed resources, and development and integrated application of molecular breeding technology.
2. Research and application of dairy cow breeding technology: dairy cow production performance measurement (DHI) to promote herd genetic improvement; aiming at important economic traits of dairy cows, carry out new dairy cow germplasm breeding with high quality, high yield and heat resistance characteristics; and integration and application of in vitro production technology (OPU) of embryos of dairy cows.
3. Research and development of efficient, green and healthy breeding technology for cattle and sheep: innovation, research and development of ecology, emission reduction, healthy breeding technology and research and development of related products, aiming at common technical problems in cattle and sheep industry, including research and development of fermented feed for cattle and sheep, rumen bypass technology, anti-stress technology, planning design and facility engineering technology, and so on.
