Breeding Market
Chinese scientists have independently bred a
new cattle variety, the "Huaxi Cattle", which should
help break the country's reliance on importing
beef cattle for breeding, according to the Chinese
Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS). The new
variety was approved by the National Livestock and
Poultry Genetic Resources Committee in December
2021. The research team led by CAAS's Institute of
Animal Sciences bred the new variety in Wulagai
district in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region.
