On December 18, the Office of the National Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources Committee announced on the official website of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs the "Announcement of the Verification and Identification Results of 18 New Livestock and Poultry Varieties (Supporting Lines) such as Tianhua Meat Sheep and 17 Genetic Resources such as Liangshan Black Pig".A new breed of Huameng meat sheepAmong them.
The new breed of Huameng meat sheep is jointly cultivated by Inner Mongolia Fuchuan Breeding Technology Co., Ltd. and Inner Mongolia University, Beijing Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Bayannur Institute of Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Sciences, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Academy of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Sciences, Hetao University and Bayannur Animal Husbandry Service Center and other universities and scientific research institutes. The new breed is based on the white-headed Dubo sheep as the paternal parent, the small-tailed Han sheep and the Mongolian sheep through progressive crossbreeding to form the Hanmeng F2 generation as the female parent, through the stages of cross-breeding, cross-fixation, selection and improvement, etc., to cultivate a new breed of meat sheep suitable for the climatic conditions of agricultural areas and agro-pastoral ecotones in northern China, as well as house-fed and semi-house-fed.
The new breed of Huameng meat sheep has the advantages of large physique, high fecundity, outstanding meat performance and strong adaptability. The data shows that the average weight of adult rams of the new breed of Huameng meat sheep is 10216 kg, adult ewes 7860 kg;The initial mating age is 9 months old for rams and 7 months old for ewesEwes are in heat all year round, and the average lambing rate of primiparous ewes is 19407%, the average lambing rate of multiparous ewes is 24226%；The average slaughter rate of lambs at 6 months of age was 520%, and the average carcass net meat rate is 808%, and the average tail fat weight is 0415 kg. At present, the size of Bayannur Huameng meat sheep herd has reached 2180,000 pieces.
The meat and sheep industry is the leading industry in Bayannur City, and it is also one of the two leading industries in Bayannur National Agricultural High Zone. In order to promote the innovation and development of the whole industry chain of meat sheep, the Science and Technology Department of the Autonomous Region and Bayannur City have invested a total of 43 million yuan in special science and technology funds since 2020, and have successively organized and implemented 11 key special projects of "rejuvenating Mongolia through science and technology", and supported Bayannur Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Science Research Institute, Inner Mongolia Fuchuan Breeding Science and Technology Co., Ltd. and other innovative subjects in Bayannur National Agricultural High School Zone to cooperate with universities and scientific research institutes inside and outside the region to carry out regional multi-lamb sheep new strain cultivation. The development and application of precision breeding technology and supporting facilities and equipment for meat sheep, the technical research and promotion of deep processing of meat sheep, and a series of innovative achievements have been made, including new breeds of Huameng meat sheep.
In the next step, Bayannur City will take "Huameng Meat Sheep" as the main meat sheep breed in the region, accelerate the construction of a breeding and breeding system of "enterprise core breeding farm + standardized multiplication households + large-scale production group", and promote "Huameng Meat Sheep" to quickly become a new generation of regional leading breedsFormulate relevant standards for the breeding, breeding and production, slaughtering and processing of "Huameng meat sheep", promote the standardized production and brand operation of new breeds, build the Bayannur mutton brand and the national meat sheep "Bayannur ** index", and promote the high-quality development of the Bayannur meat sheep industry.
