春日渐暖，新疆农牧区抢抓春季繁育黄金期，有序推进接羔育幼工作，暖圈添“新丁”，为畜牧业高质量发展筑牢根基。在昌吉回族自治州玛纳斯县，当地18万只生产母羊已产春羔13万只，接羔工作预计持续至4月初。

Pastoral areas of Xinjiang welcome the lambing season. In Manas County of Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture, about 180,000 breeding ewes have so far given birth to some 130,000 lambs, and lambing is expected to continue until early April.

近年来，玛纳斯县加快推进萨福克羊品种改良，培育产量高、成活率高、肉质优的优良肉羊品种，有效缩短出栏周期，提升产品附加值，让优良品种成为产业增效、牧民增收的“金钥匙”，助力新疆畜牧业提质增效。

In recent years, Manas has stepped up the improvement of sheep breeding to boost productivity, survival rate and meat quality. By shortening the time to market and increasing value added, improved breeds have become a key driver of industrial efficiency and higher incomes for local herders.
