Pioneering the Dairy Sheep Industry in Inner Mongolia

Establishing China's Premier Dairy Sheep Operation

In 2015, when the Chinese dairy and sheep goat industry was just emerging, Unen Agriculture provided critical expertise that would transform the agricultural landscape in Inner Mongolia and Gansu Province.

Working closely with an ambitious client looking to establish a premium dairy sheep operation, Chuck Chao led the initiative to import over 2,000 East Frisian embryos from New Zealand. This carefully selected genetic material would become the foundation for what is now Inner Mongolia's largest and most successful dairy sheep enterprise.

Implementing Advanced Breeding Technologies

The project went beyond simply importing genetics. Chuck provided comprehensive guidance on implementing Multiple Ovulation and Embryo Transfer (MOET) technology to establish a nucleus breeding flock of exceptional quality. This strategic approach allowed the client to:

• Build a purebred nucleus flock with superior milk production traits
• Develop a systematic crossbreeding program using purebred rams with local breeds
• Create a large-scale crossbreed milking sheep operation with consistent quality
• Implement modern dairy sheep management practices for optimal production

Transformative Results

What began as an innovative genetics project has evolved into a transformative agricultural enterprise with far-reaching impacts:

• Growth from initial embryo imports to a thriving operation with 10,000+ milking sheep
• Creation of hundreds of new jobs in the local county, supporting rural economic development
• Establishment of the client as Inner Mongolia's first and largest dairy sheep breeding company
• Development of a robust sheep milk supply chain serving multiple downstream industries
• Strengthening of the entire sheep dairy industry throughout the region

This success story exemplifies Unen Agriculture's approach to providing not just genetics, but comprehensive solutions that create lasting value. By combining elite international genetics with expert implementation guidance and ongoing support, we helped transform an emerging industry into a thriving agricultural sector.
