Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of livestock breeding, and particularly relates to a method for cultivating a meat and wool dual-purpose sheep breed with 32-46 wool counts. Background Art

[0002] Weining sheep belongs to the meat and wool dual-purpose coarse wool sheep breed and is one of the local sheep breeds in Guizhou Province. It has excellent characteristics such as being resistant to roughage, having strong disease resistance, good adaptability, being flexible, having strong climbing ability, a wide foraging range, early maturity, and good felting performance of wool. However, its small size, slow growth and development, low slaughter rate, low lambing rate, and poor reproductive performance reduce production efficiency and greatly limit the development of Weining sheep. The whole body is poorly covered with hair, and there are many black or yellowish-brown spots on the head, ears, face, lips, withers, and lower parts of the limbs, and the wool production is low.

[0003] Hu sheep belongs to the fur and meat dual-purpose coarse wool sheep breed. It is native to the Taihu Lake Basin between Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It has the advantages of fast growth and development, early sexual maturity, estrus throughout the year, high reproductive rate, beautiful lambskin patterns, and resistance to high temperature and humidity. It has good adaptability and is suitable for indoor feeding. It gives birth to 3 litters in two years, with 1-3 lambs per litter, and the lambing rate of ewes is 180%-250%. The milk production is high, and the lambs grow rapidly. The wool production is 1-2 kg, the main fineness of the wool is 44 wool counts, and the clean wool rate is more than 60%, which is suitable for weaving carpets and rough woolen fabrics.

[0004] Suffolk sheep is a meat and wool dual-purpose sheep breed with a large body size and weight among sheep. It is native to the UK, resistant to roughage, with strong disease resistance and good feeding performance. The body is covered with white wool, and the head and limbs are covered with black wool. It has excellent characteristics such as early maturity, large body size, fast growth and development, good meat quality, high reproductive rate, and strong adaptability. The head is short and wide, the nose bridge is raised, the ears are large, and both rams and ewes have no horns. The neck is long, deep, thick and wide, the chest is wide, and the back, waist and hips are long, wide and flat. The muscles are plump and the hindquarters are well developed. The weight of adult rams is 100-136 kg, and that of adult ewes is 70-96 kg. The body is covered with white wool, the head and limbs are black and have no wool coverage. The wool shearing amount of adult rams is 5-6 kg, that of adult ewes is 2.5-3.6 kg, the wool length is 7-8 cm, the fineness is 50-58 wool counts, and the clean wool rate is about 60%. The lambing rate of ewes after lambing is 160%-180%.

[0005] At present, there is little crossbreeding utilization based on Weining sheep. To make up for the deficiencies in the production performance of Weining sheep, exploring the cultivation of its new breed is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0041] In the present invention, the Weining sheep ewes, Hu sheep rams, and Suffolk rams are selected by the comprehensive selection index method as the Weining sheep ewes, Hu sheep rams, and Suffolk rams with an index higher than the average.

[0042] In the present invention, the comprehensive selection index method is used to formulate a comprehensive selection index for uncorrelated traits based on the growth and development level and reproductive performance of sheep, and to identify Weining sheep, Hu sheep, and Suffolk sheep, and select Weining sheep ewes, Hu sheep rams, and Suffolk rams with an index higher than the average to form a breeding foundation group.

[0043] In the present invention, the formula for the comprehensive selection index is W i is the economic importance of the trait, h2 i is the heritability of the trait, P i is the individual phenotypic value, is the average of the individual phenotypic values of the flock.

[0044] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the individual phenotypic value of the growth and development level is evaluated by the appearance score (P i ). The appearance score standard is formulated based on the age, weight, body length, body height, chest depth, chest width, chest circumference, cannon bone circumference, etc. of the sheep. The full score of the scoring standard is 100 points, and the average appearance score of the flock entering the breeding foundation group is set according to the number of the flock Therefore, the average appearance scores of Weining sheep, Hu sheep, and Suffolk sheep are all determined to be 70 points, and the heritability of the trait (h 2 i ) is determined to be 0.3 with reference to "Livestock Breeding Science" published by the Agricultural Press in November 1980 and edited by the former Inner Mongolia Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine. The economic importance (W i ) is determined to be 0.3 according to the importance of the growth and development traits in the breeding work; the individual phenotypic value of the reproductive performance is evaluated by the lambing rate. The average lambing rates of Weining sheep, Hu sheep, and Suffolk sheep They are 101.2%, 215%, and 170% respectively, which can be obtained by querying on the "National Standard Information Public Service Platform" (website: https: / / std.samr.gov.cn) according to DB52 / T 1529-2020 Weining Sheep, GB / T 4631-2006 Hu Sheep, and DB15 / T 1416-2018 Suffolk Sheep. The heritability (h 2 i ) is determined to be 0.3 with reference to the breeding literature of "Livestock Breeding Science", and the economic importance (W i ) is determined to be 0.7 according to the importance of the lambing rate trait in breeding work. According to the formula Calculated as follows: The comprehensive selection index I of Weining Sheep = 0.3×0.3×P1×100 / 70×(0.3×0.3 + 0.7×0.3) + 0.7×0.3×P2×100 / 101.2%×(0.3×0.3 + 0.7×0.3) = 0.4286P1 + 69.17P2. When the individual phenotypic value is equal to the flock average, that is, the appearance score is equal to 70 points and the lambing rate is equal to 101.2%, the comprehensive selection index of Weining Sheep is equal to 100; The comprehensive selection index I of Hu Sheep = 0.3×0.3×P1×100 / 70×(0.3×0.3 + 0.7×0.3) + 0.7×0.3×P2×100 / 215%×(0.3×0.3 + 0.7×0.3) = 0.4286P1 + 32.56P2. When the individual phenotypic value is equal to the flock average, that is, the appearance score is equal to 70 points and the lambing rate is equal to 215%, the comprehensive selection index of Hu Sheep is equal to 100; The comprehensive selection index I of Suffolk Sheep = 0.3×0.3×P1×100 / 70×(0.3×0.3 + 0.7×0.3) + 0.7×0.3×P2×100 / 170%×(0.3×0.3 + 0.7×0.3) = 0.4286P1 + 41.18P2. When the individual phenotypic value is equal to the flock average, that is, the appearance score is equal to 70 points and the lambing rate is equal to 170%, the comprehensive selection index of Suffolk Sheep is equal to 100. When identifying Weining Sheep, Hu Sheep, and Suffolk Sheep, select Weining Sheep ewes, Hu Sheep rams, and Suffolk Sheep rams with a comprehensive selection index higher than 100 to form a breeding base group.

The Sahuwei F4 generation breeding core group contains Suffolk, Hu sheep, and Weining sheep blood, accounting for 50%, 37.5%, and 12.5% respectively; aiming at the meat production rate and lambing rate, the Sahuwei hybrid F4 generation male and female parents were screened for inbreeding fixation and in - group breeding to obtain a certain scale of 32 - 46 meat - and - wool dual - purpose sheep new breeds. The present invention expands the individuals of each generation through one or more combined technical means of estrus synchronization, artificial insemination, superovulation, and embryo transfer.

[0059] On June 12, 2022, relevant experts in Bijie City were organized to conduct on - site measurements at Guizhou New Wumeng Company. The growth performance, meat production performance, reproductive performance, and wool - using performance of 32 - 46 meat - and - wool dual - purpose sheep new breeds are shown in Tables 1 - 4 respectively.
