(2) Strengthen education and training, change the concept of production and management, and promote scientific livestock raising.
(3) Strengthen the breeding of this variety. In order to increase the breeding of Hequ Maben varieties, it can be mainly implemented from the following two aspects: purification and rejuvenation and directional breeding. While maintaining the original excellent characteristics of Hequ horse, such as high height and rough feeding resistance, we will strive to improve its growth rate, slaughter rate, meat quality and other superior characteristics and production performance. Strengthening breeding, according to the strong physical characteristics of Hequ horses, breeding can be carried out from two directions: meat and competition horses.
(4) Determine the effective scale of breeding core group. The recommended size of Hequ horse breeding core group is 2000 ~ 5000 horses. The core group is too small, inbreeding is inevitable, the possibility of gene loss is increased, the variety performance is difficult to maintain, and the variety is degraded. Too few stallions will also affect the effective size of the group. Therefore, it is very important to have a certain number and suitable male-female ratio to improve the effective scale of horse breeding core group.
(5) According to the seed reserve plan, different selection ratios should be controlled for reserve horses of different ages, so as to facilitate the replacement of horses and maintain a reasonable horse structure.
Herd structure refers to the proportion of horses of different uses, ages and sexes in the herd. Whether the herd structure is reasonable or not directly affects the herd turnover and the correct implementation of species protection and breeding technical measures. It is concluded that in the process of establishing protected population, some unhealthy individuals should be eliminated every 65,438+0 years old, 50% at 65,438+0 ~ 2 years old, 30% at 2 ~ 3 years old, 20% at 3,5 ~ 4 years old, and so on. It is necessary to strengthen the management of stallions, use them in a planned way and continuously improve the quality of future generations.
