Reporter learned from the Sichuan Provincial Department of Agriculture, Sichuan Province, the province’s silage corn acreage has exceeded one million mu, is expected to reach 350 million by 2020.
It is understood that Sichuan as a national animal husbandry province, pig size in the country ranked first, but cattle and sheep and milk products are underdeveloped. At the same time, the market for green organic high-livestock products and cattle and sheep demand continues to increase, animal husbandry development ideas need to be adjusted.
The development of cattle and sheep and other herbivorous animal husbandry, silage corn is the key. Previously, Sichuan farmers used to plant grain corn, to ensure that the pig industry feed demand, but can not solve the problem of herbivorous livestock silage. In February this year, the Sichuan Provincial Department of Agriculture promulgated the Notice on the Construction of the Silage Maize Demonstration Zone, and carried out the pilot project in 10 counties (cities and districts) to build 20 “grain and feed” silage maize demonstration Area.
Statistics show that after six months of construction, the province of Sichuan province silage corn acreage from 2016 at the end of the 30 million mu rose to 100 million mu. Tangshan County, Sichuan Province, Wanjia Wang Agricultural Machinery Association, said Li Wei, 1 mu of silage corn yield of up to 4 tons -5 tons, a quarter of silage corn will be able to earn 400 yuan / mu, and the size of the past spring to earn 200 yuan /mu.
Sichuan Seed Industry Association Secretary-General Liu Yong said that the expansion of Sichuan silage corn acreage, bear the brunt of the screening is appropriate for the quality of high-yielding silage maize varieties and promote. “From the current selection point of view, ‘China in the jade 335’ can be used as a grain of corn cultivation, can also be used for silage corn cultivation, yield, quality performance is good, is expected next year after the validation will be in the southwest region to promote, By 2020, Sichuan province silage corn planting area will reach 350 million mu.
It is said that in the future, Sichuan will further adjust and optimize the structure of livestock and poultry, expand the “grain to feed” pilot, promote the “grass for meat” “straw for meat” project implementation, vigorously develop cattle, sheep and small livestock, Steady increase in addition to live pigs other than the proportion of livestock and poultry industry, the formation of distinctive characteristics, outstanding advantages, good efficiency of the livestock structure.
