N China's Inner Mongolia launches homegrown ‘Breeding No.2’ gene chip for quality dairy cattle breeding_我的网站

一 |     Colombo, Oct 20 (UNI) The prevailing economic crisis could deal a severe blow to many Sri Lankan business sectors if it deepens or drags for a prolonged period, Fitch Ratings said in remarks published on Thursday.
This is because runaway inflation, elevated interest rates and import restrictions have already pressured their revenues, margins, profits and cash flows, the Daily Mirror quoted Fitch Ratings as saying.
In a brief commentary on the implications the economic crisis would have on Sri Lanka’s listed companies, the rating agency identified consumer goods retail, power generation and home building among the most affected sectors from a prolonged crisis.
While some businesses did not feel the full effects of the crisis as they managed to grow their top and bottom lines and their margins in the second quarter ended in June 2022, Fitch said they would not be able to replicate the same results in the coming quarters as price hikes could come at the cost of further decline in revenues.
The September earnings season, which kicked off this week, would provide analysts and investors the opportunity to assess how these companies representing wider industries have fared on the back of continued rise in costs across the supply chains as well as of their borrowings, it said.
The Sri Lankan economy is projected to be in continuous decline in 2022 and 2023, shedding 9.2 per cent and 4.2 per cent, respectively, according to the World Bank estimates.
“Significant cost inflation affecting demand and profitability, import restrictions disrupting operations and high interest rates are key risks faced by domestic corporations in the next 12-18 months,” Fitch Ratings said.
If these conditions persist in the said time horizon, worsening the economic conditions, Fitch estimates around 50 per cent of its rated issuers to see rating pressure.

North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has launched a genomic breeding tool for dairy cattle, also known as a gene chip, enabling precise screening for key traits such as high milk yield, high fertility, disease resistance and longevity, and marking a fresh breakthrough in China's dairy cattle breeding technology, the Inner Mongolia Daily reported on Saturday.
As an iteration of the previous generation dairy cattle breeding array, which holds proprietary intellectual property rights, the new-generation "Breeding No.2" breeding array was led by the National Center of Technology Innovation for Dairy and developed by Youran Dairy Saikexing, with upgrades in loci coverage, compatibility and gene-trait prediction algorithms. 
The "Breeding No.2" breeding array covers about 50,000 loci across the dairy cattle genome, with a focus on functional loci tied to milk production, reproduction, disease resistance and length of productive life. It has achieved a sample call rate of 99.65 percent and a genotyping concordance rate of 99.91 percent for duplicate samples, and is compatible with mainstream international chips, allowing historical breeding data to be shared and reused. 
Drawing on a phenotype database and genome resequencing data to optimize a proprietary algorithm, advancing breeding evaluation from qualitative screening to quantitative assessment, bringing the accuracy of breeding stock selection up to advanced international levels, according to the report. 
The breeding array enables more precise genomic selection of calves at an early stage, substantially shortening the generation interval in breeding bull selection and cutting spending on raising low-performing replacement heifers. Compared with imported high-density chips, the "Breeding No.2" chip carries a lower per-sample testing cost and delivers stronger input-output returns, making it highly suited to large-scale dairy cattle breeding operations in China, the report said.
