Animal husbandry is an important part of a country’s economic development.Animal husbandry not only has an impact on agricultural development,but also promotes the development of light and heavy industries to a certain extent.Northeast China has a vast territory,juicy and lush water and grass,which provides a high-quality natural environment for the development of animal husbandry.Many domestic animals are born in accordance with nature and have excellent qualities of resisting severe cold and strong endurance.After the opening of Yingkou port,the modernization process of Northeast China was officially started,and animal husbandry began to develop slowly.Neighboring Japan is small and densely populated,and lacks a high-quality environment for animal husbandry development.In addition to the shortage of congenital resources,the correction of land rent is one of the important reasons that hindering the development of animal husbandry in Modern Japan.After the Meiji Restoration,in order to meet the growing meat needs of the people and the development needs of industry,Japan coveted the animal husbandry resources in Northeast China.In order to seize the animal husbandry resources in Northeast China as much as possible,the Japanese authorities first established animal husbandry experiment management institutions,such as Gongzhuling Agricultural Experiment Farm and xiongyuecheng branch,implemented animal husbandry variety improvement,and strengthened the management of breeding and health.Fengtian Animal Disease Research Institute and Dalian Health Research Institute were established to study animal disease.However,the fundamental purpose of both variety improvement and animal disease research is to plunder animal husbandry resources.Secondly,several Japanese immigrant groups were used to conduct livestock breeding experiments,among which the breeding livestock farm established by Chengzihe immigrant group and hada River immigrant group was large.In addition,an extensive survey of animal husbandry resources was carried out.With the development of modern industry,bone meal has become a high-quality fertilizer.Japan opened a bone meal factory of "Manmeng" Co.,Ltd.in Northeast China to process and plunder the purchased animal bones.Wild animal fur in Northeast China has excellent cold protection effect and low price.Leather products have attracted much attention as military supplies.Riman Leather Industrial Co.,Ltd.is an important tool for Japan to plunder leather in Northeast China.In order to obtain a large number of pig hair for brush making,a corresponding control management organization was established in Northeast China.After the Meiji Restoration in Japan,the national customs changed quietly.In terms of diet,the amount of family meat increased gradually and the diet style was westernized.In order to meet the needs of Japanese people,meat,dairy and meat products have become important resources plundered by Japan.
