Liuzhou in South China’s Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region has plans to promote crossbreeding of cows in an attempt to improve the performance, milk quality and beef production in the city
The Liuzhou animal agriculture department said recently that promoting good cattle breeding will play a key role this year to help the city boost the business of livestock farming.
Liuzhou city has set up a goal to complete the crossbreeding of 32,000 cows. The city has completed 51.63 per cent of its goal by crossbreeding 16,522 cows as of the end of June 2013.
