Pursuant to Entrust Feeding Agreements, Xinhua Cattle designates over 90% of its cows to 200 local dairy farmers with respect to their raw milk production. Xinhua Cattle also provides comprehensive support and services prior to, during and post-birth. Xinhua Cattle effectively reduces breeding cost and improves revenue by realizing profits from its cow culling business, as well as capitalizing on the cow byproducts such as milk, calves and organic fertilizer.

Xinhua Cattle also relies on the importing of high-quality Holstein cows, effective breeding, Total Mixed Rations (“TMR”) feeding technology and efficient logistics supply system. TMR is a husbandry technique that mixes roughage, concentrates, vitamins and other additives to provide sufficient nutrients for the cows. Taking into consideration different demands in fiber, protein and energy, TMR ensures the stability in roughage to concentrates ratio, and consistency in nutrient strength. TMR assists with the reduction of production and labor costs, reduces instances of diseases, improves cow breeding management, and increases milk production.
