It is reported that Huaxi beef is a new breed of beef cattle that has been cultivated by a team of experts in China for more than 40 years and has complete independent intellectual property rights. Its daily weight gain, slaughter rate, and net meat percentage have all reached international advanced levels. Some beef cattle breeding companies have stated that compared to the dominant breeds of foreign beef cattle, Huaxi cattle have higher production efficiency, less feed consumption, and are more suitable for local production and ecological conditions in China.
As of now, the market share of West China cattle germplasm in China has reached 15-18%.

In Yangxin County, a major beef cattle breeding county in Shandong Province, over 280000 beef cattle are slaughtered annually. In order to achieve industrial upgrading, the local gene editing breeding project has been included in the breeding project, and three high-quality breeds including Bohai black cattle have been crossbred to cultivate high-end and excellent beef cattle varieties.
