URUMQI, June 11 (Xinhua) – Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region will invest a total of 5.85 billion yuan in 2020-2022 to upgrade the quality and efficiency of animal husbandry in the region.
The funds will be spent on four types of demonstration projects, including mutton sheep breeding base, premium milk source base, beef cattle breeding base, and animal epidemic prevention and control, and animal husbandry demonstration projects in 13 rural areas in Xinjiang.
According to the investment plan, Xinjiang is expected to add 900,000 mutton sheep, 200,000 beef cattle, and 60,000 dairy cows annually after implementing demonstration projects.
