Leading the Establishment of the Sichuan Native Pig Breeding Consortium to Advance Local Pig
Germplasm Protection and Precision Breeding
In October 2025 New Hope Liuhe joined forces with leading Sichuan-based breeding enterprises including Sichuan Dekang Agriculture and Animal
Husbandry Food Group Co. Ltd. Sichuan Modern Seed Industry Group and Techlex Group to establish the Sichuan Native Pig Breeding Consortium
taking the lead in mobilizing coordinated breeding efforts across the industry.Sichuan Province is home to 8 local pig genetic resources and 4 newly cultivated pig breeds (including matching lines) providing a solid foundation
for regional seed industry development. All consortium members possess extensive experience in pig performance testing genetic selection and
commercial-scale production. Guided by market demand the Consortium will integrate high-quality local pig germplasm resources across Sichuan builda full-chain R&D system spanning resource conservation through breed cultivation and address the long-standing industry pain point of “high qualitybut low commercial value” through comprehensive industrial chain deployment driving the local pig industry toward greater scale and standardization.In December 2025 New Hope Liuhe’s Breeding Division successfully developed a 60K high-density solid-phase SNP genotyping chip which integrates
key functional loci for early-stage pig selection with distinctive genetic resources of indigenous Chinese pig breeds. As China’s first chip capable of
supporting the identification of commercial local pig breeds it provides robust technical support for advancing the breeding system and strengthening
the protection and utilization of local germplasm resources.In October 2025 the Sichuan Native Pig Breeding Consortium was showcased at the Animal Breeding Forum.Case

Charity Foundation (MEK) one of New Hope Liuhe’s local partners. The program spans the full value chain: from chick feed and medicine supply to
veterinary and technical support through to product marketing and sales. What struck Mohamed most deeply was the transformation of the women
participants. “They went from knowing nothing to being able to teach others” he observed. Wael Jadd Karim Director of the Central Department of
Egypt’s Decent Life Initiative noted that the program has created sustainable livelihoods for rural residents particularly women and aligns strongly with
Egypt’s flagship national development strategy. “China’s achievements in eradicating absolute poverty are highly inspiring and deeply worthy of study”
he said. Egypt has already sent delegations to China to learn from its experience in poverty alleviation and rural transformation. With next year marking
the 70th anniversary of China-Egypt diplomatic relations Karim shared an ambitious vision: expanding the cooperation to 70 villages bringing China’srural revitalization experience to Egypt at scale. Another top breeder Israa Ali Said spoke with quiet determination about what comes next: “I will keepgoing and one day I will build a much larger poultry farm.” From 50 chicks to a vision of 70 villages from one woman’s self-reliance to the revitalization
of entire rural communities — Chinese experience is steadily taking root in Egypt.By Xinhua News Agency Reporters Dong Xiuzhu and Yao Bing The 12th Warm Winter Campaign Donation of down jackets to Sanchahe Town Kindergarten in Zhaojue County
