China News Service, April 21. According to the website of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in order to promote the high-quality and efficient development of beef, beef and sheep production and enhance the ability to ensure the supply of beef and mutton, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has formulated the "Five-Year Action Plan for Promoting the Development of Meat, Beef and Sheep" Called the "program").

The "Plan" proposes to support the establishment of national, provincial, municipal, and county modern agricultural industrial parks with meat beef and sheep as the leading industry, support the cultivation and expansion of meat beef and sheep industrial clusters, and build a group of strong towns with beef and sheep as the leading industry.

  In terms of action goals, the "Plan" puts forward the principle of adhering to equal emphasis on quantity and quality, and on the basis of consolidating and upgrading the traditional main producing areas, tapping potential development areas, expanding production space, and increasing the supply of beef and mutton through multiple channels.

Pastoral areas should combine the balance of grass and livestock, focus on stabilizing quantity and improving quality, increase the number of basic female animals, and improve production efficiency; agricultural areas should develop around a moderate scale, focusing on increasing production and efficiency, and improve the level of development; southern areas should scientifically use grasses and grasses Slope and slack farmland resources, develop meat beef and sheep production.

By 2025, the self-sufficiency rate of beef and mutton will remain at about 85%; the output of beef and mutton will be stable at 6.8 million tons and 5 million tons respectively; the proportion of large-scale cattle and sheep breeding will reach 30% and 50% respectively.

  The "Plan" clarifies 12 key tasks such as advancing the construction of an improved breed breeding system, strengthening the prevention and control of major animal diseases, and accelerating the improvement of the industrialization level of cattle and sheep. The details are as follows:

Gradually improve the slaughtering and processing circulation system.

Promote the introduction of local laws and regulations to strengthen the management of meat, beef and sheep slaughter.

Instruct localities to reasonably set the number and scale of cattle and sheep slaughterhouses according to the breeding situation, and improve the capacity and level of cattle and sheep slaughtering and processing.

Encourage slaughter and processing enterprises to build refrigerated processing facilities, promote logistics and distribution enterprises to improve the cold chain distribution system, and promote the transition from "transporting live animals" to "transporting meat".

Advocate healthy consumption and gradually increase the proportion of chilled meat consumption.

Accelerate the transformation of production methods in pastoral areas.
