Fo 38 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, April 8, 1986 First holstein shipment to China The first major shipment of preg- nant Canadian Holstein heifers in- to China since 1948, departed March 23, from Lester B. Pearson Interna- tional Airport. This date marked almost two years of intense negotia- tions between J.M. Walkc: "arms International, Aylmer, Ontario and Jilin Province International Trust. and Investment ' Corporation (JPITIC), which purchased the animals on behalf of Jilin Province of China. A previous shipment of eighty-three open heifers and three males was made by Western Livestock Services, Chilliwack, British Columbia in December 1985. These top quality animals, pur- chased mainly from breeders in South Western Ontario, arrived in Guangzhou, where they were truck- ed to the area's quarantine station for a forty-five day waiting period. The heifers will then commence an eight day train ride to Jilin Province - which is in the north of China. The animals become residents of the State farms or universities in Jilin. The shipment comprises fifty-six registered bred heifers, four registered bulls and one hundred forty unregistered pregnant heifers. The sixty purebreds will be used for genetic purposes and the remainder of the heifers as commercial milk rs. Careful selection was made by Walker employees. During their three month stay in Canada, the Chinese delegation of six picked two hundred head on the farms of origin from the three hundred fifty that has passed all of the health tests. The animals then underwent a thirty day quarantine period in Aylmer while appropriate health tests were being conducted. The dams of the registered heifers must have completed at least one record with a minimum 8,000 kilograms of milk and 4.0 percent butterfat test. The one hundred for- ty unregistered were selected on type with no production prerequisites. The climate in Jilin Province is very similar.to Canada. As a result, the heifers will not experience the stress of acclimatization. They will be housed in barns, again very much like their homes in Canada. The barns have tie stalls and the cows are milked by pipeline. The feed will be brought in; the animals will not be pasture fed. The State Farms house approx- imately five hundred head. The pre- sent inhabitants are of European descent. There are artificial in- semination centres that collect and distribute semen from resident bulls. Additionally, semen was pur- chased through Semex Canada last year. This is being dispersed to various centres throughout China. The Chinese delegation has developed a good working rapport with the numerous people and organizations involved with the shipment.
