Education Background
Prof. Hou Shuisheng received his BS degree in animal science in from Northwest Agriculture & Forestry University in 1983 and then received his MS and PhD degree in animal nutrition and feed science from Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in 1991 and 1999, respectively.
Research Area
The research of Prof. Hou is mainly contributed to nutrition and genetic selection for Pekin ducks. As a duck nutritionist, Prof. Hou is the editor in-chief of Chinese duck feeding standards “ nutrient requirements of meat-type ducks” (NY/T 2122-2012) governed by Ministry of Agriculture of China. In the past decades, he and his group develop the methodology of feedstuff evaluation for ducks by tube-fed assay and obtained the requirements of many amino acids, vitamins, and mineral for White Pekin ducks by dose-response trials. As a duck geneticist, Prof Hou conducted the genetical selection of Chinese Pekin ducks and the new duck specialized strain “Z-type Pekin duck” with high lean meat yield and feed efficiency was bred successfully by him and his group. Recently, Prof. Hou and his team obtained Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Progress 1st Award in 2010 for their research achievement “Innovation and Application of Genetic Resource for Pekin Ducks” and then they obtained National Science and Technology Progress 2nd Award for their research achievement “Breeding of New Strains and Research & Application of Feeding Techniques in Pekin Ducks ” in 2013. All his research is directed to commercial duck production in China. His research is directed to efficient duck production in China.
