China News Service, Xining, January 18 (Reporter Li Jiangning) The reporter learned from the Qinghai Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on the 18th that the province has completed the research and development of a new feed additive, successfully breaking the foreign monopoly on this new feed additive.
At the same time, Qinghai achieved a "zero breakthrough" in independent research and development of feed additive products.
It is reported that this new feed additive is magnesium potassium sulfate. It was successfully prepared after 5 years of research and development by the development company and four scientific research institutes including the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, based on the advantages of magnesium potassium sulfate resources in Qinghai Salt Lake.

"Both magnesium and potassium are elements needed for animal growth. Before this, domestic feed additives contained magnesium sulfate or potassium sulfate. The resources of magnesium and potassium sulfate have not been discovered. This time, the magnesium and potassium sulfate resources were discovered in the Qinghai Salt Lake. It fills the previous gap." said Wang Li, deputy director of the Institute of Animal Science of the Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
Tested by authoritative professional institutions such as Yangzhou University and Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, this feed additive is actually non-toxic and can effectively supplement the potassium, magnesium, sulfur and other elements that the animal body needs daily, promote the growth of livestock and poultry, and improve the body's immunity and It has anti-stress ability, improves the flavor and tenderness of livestock products, and has significant application effects in improving the production performance of livestock and poultry and improving the quality of livestock products.
At present, the research and development company has begun to build a new feed additive production line with an annual output of 24,000 tons of magnesium and potassium sulfate. After the project is implemented, the annual sales revenue is expected to reach 120 million yuan.
