Chapter 409 Cow Breeding
"Wow, you are much cleaner than our Guangming breeding base! There are so many computers?" Wang Jiafen felt his eyes open as soon as he entered. The researchers almost all had a computer, and the cow pen was also extremely clean, and there were many of them.
Unrecognizable advanced equipment.
"This is a professor Van der Fat from the Netherlands. He graduated from Wageningen University. After obtaining his doctorate, he cooperated with the famous CRV dairy cattle breeding company. He helped CRV companies improve their cow traits and increase their average cows' births many times.
From 2.8 births to 3.2 births, the final milk production of cows increased from 27,985 kg/head to 30,367 kg/head. It can be said that they are treasure-level breeding experts in the Netherlands. We spent a huge price to get Professor Van der Fatt.
Please come to China.”
"This is Professor Hutchinson from the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois in the United States. Professor Hutchinson is a well-known expert of the Holstein Cow Association in the United States. We also hired it from the United States for a lot of money. Now he and Professor Van der Fate are combined with Europe and the United States.
With advanced experience, we try to cultivate high-yield dairy cow varieties that are more suitable for our China!" Li Lei introduced to her two main persons in charge of the breeding center.
Among all dairy cattle breeds today, Holstein cattle is the most influential world-wide dairy cattle breed. It is the most widely distributed in various regions around the world and has the largest inventory. It is famous for its large size, high milk production and wide adaptability. It is the world
The commonly recognized dairy cow breed with the highest milk production performance dominates the dairy production in most countries in the world; all countries have formulated breeding goals and breeding plans for Holstein cattle, and after years of systematic breeding, various types have been formed.
Featured Holstein cattle herds, such as the American Holstein cattle, the German Holstein cattle, the Australian Holstein cattle, etc.
The Netherlands is the origin of Holstein cattle, and the United States is the country with the largest number of Holstein cattle breeding. These two countries have an absolute advantage in the field of Holstein cattle breeding. Now Li Lei invites two senior experts from the Netherlands and the United States to preside over the breeding work.
This is the only one even if you look at the country.
Wang Jiafen's expression was very serious when she heard this. As early as the 1980s, the Holstein Cattle Association of the United States came to China to teach advanced breeding technology in BJ and Shanghai. At that time, Guangming, as the leading dairy company in Shanghai, also participated in this in depth.
Cooperation, so Wang Jiafen is very clear about the huge gap between China and abroad today.
The most important criterion for judging whether a dairy breed is excellent is the average parity and the final milk production volume. The higher the average parity, the easier it is to cultivate offspring. The final milk production volume is how much this cow can produce in his lifetime.
Milk.
Most of the cows raised in Guangming Ranch are Chinese black and white flower cows. This cow is a hybrid of Holstein cows and Chinese local cows. In 1992, it was approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and renamed it as China Holstein cows; China Holstein, a subsidiary of Guangming Dairy, was renamed as China Holstein cows;
The average number of cows is only 2.4 times, and the final production of milk is only more than ten tons, which is far less than that of cows in the Netherlands and the United States.
Also raising a cow, the bright cow can only produce two to three calves in his life, and the milk production is less than half of that of the Holstein cow in the Netherlands. How can this compete? And if you continue to look at various data, you will be able to
It was found that the feed consumed by the production of one kilogram of milk by Holstein cows in the Netherlands was much lower than that of Guangming cows! The gap between Chinese cows and cows in developed countries such as the Netherlands and the United States is comprehensive.
Otherwise, even if foreign milk powder is added with tariffs, the price will be cheaper than that of domestic ones? This is the reason. The cows have better varieties, eat less and produce more milk, and the milk protein content is higher.
The time is longer than that of Holstein cows in China. How can we compete with others? So if we want to gain a foothold in the dairy market, we must start from the root and cultivate better cow breeds.
"How much milk can you do now? How much can the milk produced by the bred cows finally produce?" Wang Jiafen asked quickly. She originally thought that Yili ranked first in the country, and Wandashan's rapid development momentum was just about to occupy the milk source.
Because of the production site, but now looking at it, Wandashan is really far ahead of Guangming.
"Our research work has just begun. At present, we have only increased the average parity of dairy cows in the breeding center to 2.6 and the final milk production volume to 21.2 tons. There is still a big gap with the high-quality dairy cows in CRV companies!" Van der Fatt
The professor replied.
"There is also a big gap with the high-quality cows of the Holstein Cattle Association in the United States!" Professor Hutchinson shrugged, "Your breeding work started too late, and Holstein cows are foreign breeds. If you want to do a good job of breeding, you must go from the Netherlands.
, the United States and other places purchase frozen semen, which increases the difficulty of breeding work! However, Mr. Li is very familiar with animal breeding work, and his philosophy is very advanced, integrating advanced technologies such as computers and genes into breeding research, so our work progress
Soon, I believe it will bring surprises to the company soon!”
"Yes, I am willing to leave my hometown and travel thousands of miles to China, not just for the salary of $200,000 per year. Huinong Group has invested a lot in the field of technology, and its gaze is very advanced, even surpassing my previous job.
CRV, I accepted the invitation to come to China in order to seek new challenges!” Professor Van der Fatt said.
In fact, the income of animal breeding experts in European and American countries is not as high as ordinary people imagine. A professor in the field of agriculture only earns 70,000 to 80,000 US dollars per year, and he is completely unable to compare with popular fields such as law, computers, and finance.
This is cheaper. He only needs to spend a small price to attract senior talents like Van der Fate and Hutchinson.
"Twenty-hundred thousand US dollars? Mr. Li, you are really willing to pay for your capital!" This number is nothing to Li Lei, but Wang Jiafen was extremely surprised when she heard it, because as the head of Bright Dairy, her annual salary was hers.
The bonuses are only about one hundred thousand, less than one-tenth of Professor Van der Fatt.
"This money is worth it. After Professor Van der Fat came, he increased the final milk production of cows by more than 1,000 kilograms. How many cows do we have in Wandashan? How much more milk can we sell for more milk?
?And this is just now. If several professors can increase the final milk production of our cows to more than 30 tons in the future, it will be an extra million in annual income. No matter how you calculate this account, you will feel it will be worthwhile!"
Li Lei spread his hands and said that whether it is Zheng Junhuai or Niu Gensheng, their most concerned thing is always marketing. No one is willing to spend money at the most root of the dairy industry, so the quality and output of domestic milk in the future will not increase. Li Lei
He didn't know how to do this, so after reaching a cooperation with COFCO, he immediately started to set up a breeding center.
As long as the problems of dairy cattle breeding and milk packaging are solved, it will be equivalent to controlling the two most critical levels of the upstream and downstream of the dairy industry. By then, no matter how good the dairy company advertising is, it will not work. They want to make money.
I have to listen to Li Lei, or I will find a way to solve the problems of dairy cattle breeding and milk packaging.
"After coming to China, I found that many ranches regard increasing the number of dairy cattle stocks as the most critical indicator, but this method is not necessarily correct! The number of dairy cattle stocks in the Netherlands is actually declining year by year, but milk and other dairy products are being used to increase the number of dairy cattle stocks in the Netherlands.
The yield has not decreased! Because we are constantly updating the breed of dairy cows, the final milk production of dairy cows, the final milk production of dairy cows, the lifetime milk fat and protein production are constantly increasing, allowing the Netherlands to produce more with fewer dairy cows
More milk!" Professor Van der Fatt continued to introduce.
"We, the Holstein Cow Association of America, do the same!" Professor Hutchinson added.
"The current breeding system in China is still relatively rough. Whether it is the establishment of dairy cattle breeding data foundation, the improvement of breeding system or the independent research of breeding technology, there is a long way to go!" Wang Jiafen sighed. Of course she knew that
The benefits of doing this are just like laying hens. Local chickens can produce dozens of eggs a year, while imported Hailan laying hens can produce 300 eggs. It doesn’t take any thought to know which one is more profitable.
However, domestic breeding research is mainly responsible for the agricultural sciences at all levels. However, the funding of the agricultural sciences has always been very tight. Not to mention purchasing advanced equipment such as computers, even if it is not enough to buy frozen semen from abroad, the company is reluctant to let it go.
Spend money to conduct research, because if you use the same money to advertise, the effect will be immediate, and if you invest in R&D, it may be wasteful. Therefore, even leading dairy companies like Yili and Guangming will not invest too much in this area.
More funds.
Wang Jiafen knows that what Li Lei is doing now is right. Whether it is the research and development of milk packaging technology or the development of dairy breeding, it can determine the result of domestic dairy competition. If possible, she also wants Guangming to increase investment in this regard, but
But reality doesn't allow her to do so.
Because Guangming is controlled by the Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, it pays a large amount of profits to the SASAC every year. The SASAC treats Guangming as a milk-producing cow. How could it allow them to invest a large amount of money in research and development? Previously, Guangming integrated its ranch and factories,
The money from introducing milk preservation technology from France was earned by Wang Jiafen through real estate development. Where can I find R&D funds now?
Stepping back, even if she tried her best to convince the SASAC, she would not be able to hire experts abroad. State-owned enterprises are the most sensitive to salary and benefits. Who dares to give researchers an annual salary of one million? The superiors do not allow it, and the employees below are
I didn't agree, why can he get tens of thousands of dollars in a month with a pitiful thousand yuan?
Then the two professors took Wang Jiafen and others to visit one research room after another. Some of these research rooms were used for gene sequencing, some for dairy cow production performance, and some for population lineage mapping. Every time they went, they just looked at the equipment.
I knew that Huinong must have invested a lot of money.
"Mr. Li, we Guangming can't even think about the money you spent on this breeding center!" After the visit, Wang Jiafen shook her head repeatedly. She thought that Yili and Wandashan were at most a little larger than Guangming's scale!
,There are only a little more milk source production, and there is actually no essential difference among several companies. As long as Guangming can make up for the shortcomings of milk source and put some effort into marketing, it is not impossible for Guangming to surpass Yili.
.
However, after chatting with Li Lei and looking at the breeding center, she realized that Yili is fine, Guangming is still far from Wandashan! Guangming can only solve some superficial problems now, Wandashan
But it has begun to make changes from the root.
This is like two students with similar academic performance. One student crams before the exam, while the other student hires a special teacher to make up for his lessons. There may be no difference in one month or two months, but wait for a year
Later, two years later, the former will definitely be thrown away by the latter.
"Dr. Li, you have bred our local fine-bred chickens and fine-bred pigs before. It is not surprising that you start raising cows now, but I didn't expect COFCO to have such great courage!" Wang Jiafen was a little jealous. COFCO is also a state-owned enterprise.
Why can people take out this money?
"Mr. Gao, Mr. Ning and others have this idea, but they gave up before they finished listening to the budget! This stall is now created by our Huinong!" Li Lei shook his head and invested so much money in basic research.
COFCO can't do this, but fortunately, Li Lei made some money from the Southeast Asian financial crisis before, and it would be enough to leak a little through his fingers.
"Then COFCO has taken a big advantage! When the breeding work is completed, the first batch of good-bred cows will definitely be supplied to Wandashan. By then, our lives will be difficult!" Wang Jiafen began to envy COFCO. If it were the controlling shareholder, Guangming would be
It was Huinong instead of the Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Why was she so restricted as she is now?
"Any good breed can not be cultivated in a short while, but I have the patience!" Li Lei knew what she was talking about. In the future, Wandashan uses the good breed dairy cows cultivated here, and the feed consumption will be lower.
, milk production is higher and quality is better. How can Yili and Guangming compete with Wandashan?
"But Wandashan is not without its shortcomings now. After all, it is a company that has just been integrated. It takes time to get through the personnel. The most troublesome thing is to find a suitable helm. Wang Desheng and Wang are more than enough to maintain their achievements, so it is a bit insufficient to explore!
In China, there are probably only those who can bear this burden, Mr. Zheng, Zheng and Mr. Wang!” After laying the groundwork for so long, Li Lei finally got to the point.
He looked at Wang Jiafen with a sincere face, "Mr. Wang, I know that at your level, salary and benefits are definitely not the most important thing. What is more important is to find a platform that can exert its abilities. I can assure you that I can guarantee you.
, when you arrive in Wandashan, you will definitely not be as hindered as in Guangming!”
I just came to visit, why did I start talking about this? Wang Jiafen was a little dazed for a moment.
Chapter completed!
