Significance and Countermeasures of Developing High-quality Protein Maize
The lysine and protein contents of high-quality protein maize(QPM)are more than twice as high as normal maize,which is of great significance for the development of high-quality feed in China.Developing QPM can not only alleviate the shortage of feed raw materials faced by China,but also reduce environmental pollution,increase farmers'income,and help China's animal husbandry industry embark on a sustainable and standardized development path.The nutritional value,breeding history and current status of QPM were elaborated,as well as its application in humans and livestock.The development prospects of QPM were proposed.Regarding the main problems in the development of QPM,the targeted solutions were given.
