Abstract:

[Objective] The present study was conducted to analyze the roles and achievements of the ′big data+′ based science and technology service model in promoting the high-quality development of the cashmere goat industry in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia. [Method] Based on the implementation of the ′Science and Technology Revitalizing Inner Mongolia′ project undertaken by the authors′ research team, empirical analysis methods were used to analyze the construction content and operation status of the big data platform for the cashmere goat industry in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, and to explore the roles of the cashmere goat production technology service team. Furthermore, the science and technology support mechanisms for the high-quality development of the cashmere goat industry were constructed, and some suggestions for the extending development were proposed. [Result] According to the architecture of ′one platform, four systems, and one center′, a big data platform for the cashmere goat industry in Ordos City was established, and a socialized service system for the cashmere goat production technology as well as a digital development management system for the cashmere goat industry were preliminary constructed. Based on the implementation of ′Science and Technology Revitalizing Inner Mongolia′ project, using the advantages of scientific research resources from universities and research institutes, the leading organizer of the project led the private enterprises and the professional cooperatives of cashmere goat farming in this region formed a ′1+4+10+N′ socialized service model for the cashmere goat production technology. The services included guidance and training on farming technology, veterinary medicine and veterinary drugs, breed selection and promotion, artificial insemination, forage guarantee, cashmere harvest by parts and graded packaging, infrastructure construction in agriculture and animal husbandry, and so on. On the basis of the internal mechanisms of the established big data platform and the socialized service model, six aspects of the science and technology support mechanisms were constructed. In addition, some suggestions were put forward, such as advancing ′the reforms to streamline administration, delegate powers, improve regulation and strengthen services′, accelerating the construction of digital farm, and promoting the diversified science and technology support. [Conclusion] Through the implementation of ′Science and Technology Revitalizing Inner Mongolia′ project, the the ′big data+′ based science and technology service model in the high-quality development of the cashmere goat industry in Ordos City has been basically established. Furtherly, the socialized service system for the cashmere goat production technology and the management system for the digital transformation and development of the cashmere goat industry should be continuously improved, the construction of big data platforms and technical service stations extending to the grassroots level should be encouraged and supported, the digital transformation and development of the cashmere goat industry as well as the full coverage of socialized services should be promoted, so as to continuously accelerate the high-quality development of the cashmere goat industry in this region.
