Chapter 32 Four-line Matching Method and Breeding Monopoly (for collection)

"Some crops, why can't we just save the seeds, but spend extra money to buy seeds?" Li Lei asked rhetorically.

"Many well-grown crops can't be kept as seeds. If you just use the seeds you planted, the yield can't keep up." Li Qiyun understood, "It's the same with this chicken?"

"Yeah!" Li Lei nodded, "Foreign breeder companies have spent decades and tens of millions of dollars to cultivate breeder chickens. If they can be spread casually, then they are not doing it for nothing? So just take The eggs laid by the chickens bought from Hailan International are used to incubate the chicks, and the egg production of these chicks will plummet when they grow up!"

Then Li Lei told them about the breeding process of breeders. The high-yielding laying hens and fast-growing broiler chickens cultivated by modern technology are all crossed by the four-line mating method.

First look for great-grandfather chickens with excellent characteristics such as fast growth, eating less, laying more eggs, and strong disease resistance. Usually, there are 8 to 9 or more lines of great-grandfather chickens for four-line matching breeding. This strain has one or two of the above-mentioned excellent characteristics.

The chickens hatched from eggs laid by great-grandfather chickens are grandparents, which can be divided into paternal lines A (male) and B (female), and female lines C (male) and D (female).

The chickens hatched from the eggs produced by the grandparents are the parent chickens, which are generally divided into single-cross AB (male) and single-cross CD (female).

The chickens hatched from the eggs laid by crossing the parent generation AB cock and CD hen are four-line matching hybrid ABCD commercial generation chickens.

These commercial chickens include all the excellent characteristics required by commercial farming. When placed on laying hens, they eat less, lay more eggs, and are less likely to get sick. When placed on broilers, they eat less, grow faster, and are also less likely to get sick.

Through this complicated breeding process, it can be known that commercial laying hens are all hybrid chickens, which are obtained by crossing many high-product lines with different characteristics between breeds, strains, and multiple strains. Unstable, genotype segregation occurs in self-group breeding.

Therefore, the commercial generation chicken itself cannot be copied, and its traits and various production performances cannot be stably passed on to the next generation.

If commercial chickens are used as breeders, it will lead to separation of traits, decreased production performance, reduced resistance to diseases, and unstable growth and development. Therefore, it is not appropriate to reserve commercial chickens for breeding.

Therefore, foreign breeder companies generally sell parental chickens, at most grandparental chickens, and great-grandfather chickens will not be sold at all. Without great-grandfather chickens, they cannot breed chickens by themselves.

The upstream and downstream of the chicken breeding industry are divided into three links. The most upstream is the breeding company, which is responsible for the breeding of original species, great-grandfather breeding, and the cultivation of grandparent chickens; Breeding; the most downstream is the farm, which buys chicklings from the chickling company, breeds them, and sells eggs and broilers.

The most upstream breeding companies enjoy the most lucrative profits.

To put it simply, breeder chickens are like chips in the IT field, which is the core technology.

After the speech, everyone fell silent, and Li Lei recalled the efforts made by Chinese breeders to fight for the autonomy of breeders.

Through the unremitting efforts of local scientific researchers, China's laying hen breeding industry has formed three leaders: BJ Yukou, Xiaoming and Huayu Agriculture.

Xiaoming and Huayu Agriculture still focus on the imported Hailan breed and a small amount of Roman laying hens. These two companies can provide about [-] million commercial chicks every year.

BJ Yukou sells self-cultivated Jinghong, Jingfen, and Jingbai series varieties. The quality is no less than that of imported products. It can provide [-] million commercial generation chicks every year. Local brands have already occupied half of the laying hen market.

There are two types of broiler breeders. One is the yellow-feathered chicken produced in China. This kind of chicken is delicious and suitable for stewing soup and cooking. Local breeders can provide it.

The other type is the famous white-feathered chicken. This kind of chicken is inferior in quality, and it is not good for stewing and cooking, but it grows fast and the cost is relatively low. up.

The company's Alba Acres and Ross 308 also accounted for 70.00% of the market.

Aviagen is also very unkind to domestic breeders. The price of breeders has risen from US$37 to US$140, and the supply is also unstable. This year, there are more breeders bred, and I will give you [-] million sets. If you want to buy less, you can pay No, buy it all, or don't buy it!
In the second year, there will be fewer breeders, so the price will increase. The farm obviously needs 100 million sets, but they only give you 70 sets, and you can only accept it.

But there are always people who want to stand up and make money, so in the field of white-feathered chickens, a magnificent war has been staged.

Fu Guangming, chairman of Sunner Group, did not want to suffer this grievance, so he secretly started the white-feather chicken breeding project, built a breeding base deep in the mountains of Guangze County, and invested a total of one billion yuan to breed his own white-feather chicken breeders.

They did a very good job of keeping the secrecy secret. It was only a few years later that the foreigner heard the news, and came to threaten Fu Guangming in a hurry after learning the news.

Either stop breeding, or terminate cooperation.

If the breeding base is destroyed, the one billion invested and the energy expended before will be in vain; if you don’t insist, the supply of seedlings will be cut off, and Shengnong Group will no longer be able to provide sufficient chicken to the market. It means that Sunner Group will face the risk of breaking the capital chain and large-scale default.

Fu Guangming wanted to buy some time, saying that he would reply in half a month, but he resolutely refused, telling him that he must give a reply within three to 10 minutes.

After a moment of silence, Fu Guangming called the breeding base and asked two questions. Is there any problem with stopping the introduction of breeders from abroad?Is there any problem if it is not introduced in the next ten or 20 years?

After getting an affirmative answer, Fu Guangming went back and said to the Americans, "I'll give you 10 minutes to leave Sunner!"

Get out of here, labor and capital don't need you anymore!

Coupled with the white-feathered chicken breeders cultivated by other institutions, the breeding of breeders no longer needs to be controlled by others.

"Don't worry too much. The method of breeding chickens is there. It's nothing more than spending money and time. Let's use American breeders to make money first. When we have money, we will start our own breeder breeding!" From memory After waking up, Li Lei said to his family.

　Add more for collection, there is a video of Sunner Group at station B, it is very burning
