Abstract:

This paper focuses on the breeding and hybrid utilization of local Chinese cattle breeds, and provides a detailed introduction to the types and genetic characteristics of these local cattle breeds in China. Based on the current status of the local Chinese cattle breeds, it elaborates on the breed selection of local cattle breeds, the cultivation of new varieties through utilizing existing hybrid populations, as well as the theoretical and methodological approaches for genetic resource innovation in cattle through breeding and modern biotechnology. Additionally, it expounds on the efficient hybrid utilization theory and technology of Chinese cattle genetic resources, including hybrid superiority and hybrid methods, determination of complementarity, selection of hybrid parents, factors affecting hybrid effects, prediction of hybrid production performance, ways to enhance the utilization effect of hybrid superiority, and issues to be noted during hybridization. These lay an important theoretical foundation and methodological system for the breeding of local Chinese cattle breeds and efficient hybrid utilization, promoting the healthy, green and sustainable development of China's cattle industry.

Key words: Local Chinese cattle, Meat breed selection, Hybrid utilization
