China and Laos are moo-ving toward more sustainable cattle farming with a crossbreeding agreement that marks the first export of China’s coveted Huaxi cattle that are specifically grown to mature rapidly and produce high-quality meat.
The agreement focuses on crossbreeding local Lao cattle with high-quality breeds from China, utilising advanced breeding techniques to improve growth rates and body size, meat quality for market demands, adaptability to the local environment, and economic benefits for farmers, the Lao News Agency reported on Thursday, citing a memorandum of agreement signed by both sides on Tuesday.
