Pastoral areas of Xinjiang welcome the lambing season. In Manas county of Changji Hui autonomous prefecture, about 180,000 breeding ewes have so far given birth to some 130,000 lambs, and lambing is expected to continue until early April.
In recent years, Manas has stepped up the improvement of sheep breeding to boost productivity, survival rate and meat quality. By shortening the time to market and increasing value added, improved breeds have become a key driver of industrial efficiency and higher incomes for local herders.
