After years of joint research, the Feed Research Institute and Beijing Shoulang Biotechnology Co. have made important progress in the core technology, greatly increasing the reaction speed and creating conditions for industrial scale, according to media reports.

Currently, protein feed is mainly imported and there is a great shortage of high-quality product.

As the world's largest feed producing and consuming country, China has imported more than 100 million tons of soybeans annually in recent years, and its feed protein dependence on foreign suppliers has been maintained at over 80 percent for a long time.

"Although the experiment offers good potential, there is still a gap to achieve actual mass production," said Meng Jinhui, an agricultural industry analyst.

“From an experimental point of view, this is very important, but more senegal telegram number database observations are needed, especially when it comes to conversion rates and cost effectiveness,” experts say.


Deploying an electromagnetic railgun to fire a fire extinguishing bomb to put out a forest fire is a futuristic scenario that is becoming a reality in China, and one of the prototypes was recently unveiled to the public, sparking interest from millions of netizens.

The futuristic 120mm mortar fire-fighting rail gun was developed by Chinese researchers jointly with the 206 Research Institute of the Second Academy of China Aerospace Science and Industry (CASIC). The developers said that it is specially designed for fighting forest fires.

According to the developers, the long-range electromagnetic fire extinguishing gun uses electromagnetic launch technology, uses electric energy as the starting power, and performs forest fire extinguishing tasks by projecting fire extinguishing bombs over long distances without power supply.
