How to breed "gourmet pigs"
During the two sessions, Yin Yulong, a representative of the National People's Congress and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, brought a suggestion on pig raising, which is to promote the cultivation of high-quality and efficient pigs. The pigs we raise now either grow quickly but the meat is not delicious, or the meat is delicious but grow slowly.
"How to make pigs come out of the market quickly and make the meat delicious? To raise good pigs, we also need to develop new productivity." Yin Yulong suggested that we use my country's existing high-quality local pig germplasm resource bank to build a high-quality pig design breeding technology system and cultivate Develop a new high-quality pig breed with excellent meat quality, high performance, and resistance to stress and disease.
Academician Yin Yulong found through research that in the past breeding work, it was difficult to improve pork production and meat quality collaboratively, resulting in an increase in meat production and a decrease in meat quality. Combining biological breeding technologies such as genomic selection with conventional breeding technologies to cultivate new high-quality pig varieties or supporting lines with excellent meat quality and high yield is the only way to balance the yield and meat quality issues.
