The conference summarized the achievements of the farming dairy industry from five aspects. Milk production is growing rapidly. In 2022, farmland milk production will account for 14.5% of the country’s total. The number of dairy cows and milk production will reach 1.7236 million heads and 5.7023 million tons respectively, an increase of 33.8% and 46.3% respectively over 2018. The growth rate is significantly higher than the national average. The breeding level leads the country. In 2022, the improved breeding and mechanization rates of dairy farms in the agricultural reclamation system will reach 100%, and the yield of dairy cows will exceed 10 tons, approaching the level of developed countries. Milk quality leads the industry. Since 2012, the pass rate of raw milk sampling in the agricultural reclamation system has remained at 100%. Many well-known brands such as Guangming, Sanyuan, Wandashan, Yantang, Haihe, and Tianyou have won widespread trust in the hearts of consumers. Dairy breeding is at the forefront. In 2022, Nongken’s frozen semen output will exceed 3 million. Among them, Shounong Group’s cow frozen semen products account for 35% of the domestic frozen semen market, making it the first brand in the domestic frozen semen market. The service area has achieved remarkable economic results.
