Guangdong Provincial Public Laboratory of Animal Breeding and Nutrition was established on the basis of Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Animal Breeding and Nutrition in 2004. The project was approved by Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology, co-built by Guangzhou Science and Information Technology Bureau and supported by Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

 

The laboratory has 26 permanent staff members, including 10 researchers, 8 associate researchers, 2 post-doctors and 25 doctors. The laboratory is under the leadership of the Board of Directors. The director and chairman of the laboratory are Jiang Zongyong, president of Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and the director of the academic Committee of the Laboratory is Wu Changxin, academician of China Agricultural University.

 

The laboratory is equipped with a number of international advanced scientific research instruments such as automatic biochemical analyzer, automatic amino acid analyzer, flow cytometer, SNP genetic polymorphism analysis system and so on. The research focuses on the protection and innovative utilization of pig and chicken germplasm resources, the research and application of molecular marker-assisted selection of pig and chicken, the cultivation of high-quality pig and chicken new supporting lines, the research on the regulation of animal nutrition and metabolism, the research on the development technology of safe and efficient feed additives, and the research on the safety and quality control of animal products. Laboratory in order to improve the agricultural science and technology independent innovation ability as own duty, and strive to resolve major key in the field of animal husbandry and feed industry, the common technical problems, to the society to provide more new technology, new varieties, new products, and promote the sustainable development of animal husbandry and feed industry health, has gradually become the animal husbandry and feed industry development of science and technology innovation and resources sharing platform, It is an important base for gathering and cultivating outstanding scientific and technological talents, transforming achievements and academic exchanges, and becoming an internationally advanced and domestic first-class research and experiment base.

 

The laboratory has carried out extensive exchanges and cooperation at home and abroad, focusing on talent introduction and training, and has trained 50 masters, 16 doctors and 4 post-docs.
