On March 31st, the International Roundtable Conference on the Development Direction of International Interdisciplinary Joint Scientific Research by Young Scientists from Silk Road Countries, hosted by Omsk State Agricultural University in Russia, was held in Omsk, Russia. This conference adopts a combination of online and offline forms, gathering young scientists from China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and other countries to discuss topics such as agricultural technology, ecological protection, and drone applications, further promoting academic linkage and resource sharing among countries along the Silk Road.

Associate Professor Tian Yujia from the School of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine at our university was invited to attend this academic conference and deliver a special report titled "Development of dairy cow feeding industry in China and Introduction of current research of ruminal nutrition group in TJAU". In the report, Tian Yujia systematically elaborated on the development process of China's dairy farming industry and highlighted the latest research results of the Ruminant Nutrition Research Group at Tianjin Agricultural University. The content includes innovative explorations on the quality and efficiency improvement effects of stress free cow driving technology in the field of dairy farming, as well as the research on the diversity and metabolic mechanism of rumen microorganisms in cows treated with calcium oxide from corn straw. From the perspectives of production application and scientific research, the academic achievements of our university's researchers in serving the production front line and exploring the research front line are introduced. It provides a scientific basis for the sustainable development of China's dairy farming industry, and also opens up a new path for countries along the "the Belt and Road" in the field of agricultural technology cooperation and industrial upgrading.

Next, our university will continue to build a broader international exchange platform for outstanding scientific and technological talents and researchers, actively connect with international agricultural technology innovation resources, and our outstanding young teachers will also continue to leverage their academic advantages to support international scientific research cooperation and inject innovative momentum into the high-quality development of agriculture.
