Abstract:

Forming and developing new quality productive forces in animal husbandry is an inherent requirement and a key focal point for promoting high-quality development in the industry. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Xizang) from 2007 to 2021,an evaluation index system was innovatively constructed for new quality productive forces in livestock industry from four perspectives: technological innovation, industrial development, green ecology, and human capital.The spatiotemporal variations and dynamic evolution patterns of new quality productive forces were objectively measured and systematically characterized. Besides,the constraining factors were diagnosed and evaluated. The results indicated that during the study period, the level of new quality productive forces in animal husbandry showed an upward trend nationally. The eastern region exhibited the relatively highest level, followed by the central region, with the western region being relatively the lowest. Polarization phenomena existed in the levels of new quality productive forces nationwide and within the eastern, central and western regions, but the overall trend was weakened. Analysis of regional disparities using the Dagum Gini coefficient decomposition revealed that regional differences were not severe overall. Currently, the main constraining factors hindering the enhancement of new quality productive forces in livestock industry were the number of invention patents held by key leading enterprises in the industry, labor productivity, and the turnover in technology market.

Key words: new quality productive forces of livestock industry, quantitative assessment, panel data
