04 Scientific research achievements

 In June 2010, the ministry of science and technology (guoke caicai [2010] no. 267) established the only "national seed center for experimental dogs", which is one of the seven experimental animal seed centers in China.

• In 2006, "guangdong experimental animal Beagle dog germplasm resources research center" was officially established.

• In 2015, we obtained the world's first gene knockout dog model, filling in the gaps at home and abroad, making China's research technology of genetically modified large animal model in the international leading level, and laying an important foundation for us to carry out the research of other major human disease model dogs.

• In 2002, cooperated with guangzhou entry-exit inspection and quarantine bureau to build the first Beagle quarantine dog training center in China. Since quarantine dogs work for 11 province port provides more than 50 quarantine dogs and seized several harmful substances and a second high risk items, to prevent the foreign port by pest invasion of the border, China's agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry and ecological security played an important role, the project of guangdong province, the municipal science and technology progress third prize each one.
