Kelong Livestock Agriculture Tourism Demonstration Site

　　Shandong Kelong Livestock Industry Co., Ltd. is a private high-tech enterprise and currently functions as the transgenic animal base of China Agricultural University, a technology transfer demonstration base of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, a national conservation farm for Luxi cattle, a national original breed farm for Jining Qingshan goats, the Shandong Kelong Livestock Academician Workstation, a key leading enterprise in agricultural industrialization in Shandong Province, the Shandong Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center for Transgenic Somatic Cell Cloned Cattle, a high-tech enterprise in Shandong Province, and a teaching and research base of Shandong Agricultural University.

　　Since its establishment in June 2000, the company has undertaken three national 863 Program projects through industry-academia-research collaboration, independently carried out five provincial/ministerial-level projects and eight self-selected projects. Its high-yield dairy cow rapid propagation project was appraised by the Shandong Provincial Science and Technology Department in 2003, with the technology reaching a domestically leading level. It was listed by the Ministry of Science and Technology as an agricultural science and technology achievement transformation project and won the second prize of the Shandong Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award. The breeding of a new beef-type Luxi Yellow cattle strain and fattening of premium beef cattle was listed by the Shandong Provincial Science and Technology Department as a major provincial special project and a provincial “Prosperous People and Strong County” project, and by the National Development and Reform Commission as a high-tech industrialization demonstration project. The Jining Qingshan goat breeding and flavor fattening technology development project was appraised by the Shandong Provincial Science and Technology Department, with the technology at a domestically leading level. The somatic cell cloned cattle and transgenic somatic cell cloned cattle breeding projects are at the international frontier level. – The Prime Minister personally named two cloned breeding bulls cultivated by our company; transgenic cattle have entered the drug testing and extraction phase, with products expected to be on the market in about three years. Premium beef is highly popular in high-end restaurants in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Changchun, and Dalian. Qingshan goats are in high demand both within and outside the province.

　　 In 2010, the company successfully applied for a National Spark Program project and became the implementing supervisory unit for the project.

　　The company’s development goal is to grasp the forefront of livestock technology, collaborate with domestic and international livestock experts, and build the company into a large-scale, diversified, modern enterprise group oriented by the market, driven by technology, focused on developing high-end livestock products, and structured around biotechnology, elite breed propagation, livestock farming, and livestock product processing—through the implementation of the “Luxi Beef Cattle New Strain Industrialization” project and the deepening of the “High-Quality Transgenic Dairy Cattle New Breed Breeding” project.
