“Secure pork supply，stable nation。”As the largest agricultural sector in China，the pig farming industry represents a market worth valued at over one trillion yuan. However，this vast industry is confronted with a structural imbalance between talent supply and demand. On one hand，the push for intelligent upgrading has increased the demand for highly educated professionals；on the other hand，the remote location and enclosed working environment of pig farms limit their attractiveness to such talent，impeding the flow of skilled personnel to the frontline. Meanwhile，students in higher vocational education are drawn to the industry’s high salaries and career prospects，yet their relatively low educational attainment and insufficient professional background often leave them ill? prepared for farm management roles，creating a competency gap that fails to meet industry needs. This paper analyzes this employment mismatch and proposes integrated strategies—including curriculum reform，strengthened industry– academia collaboration，and resource sharing—to cultivate a workforce capable of supporting the sustainable and high? quality development of the industry.

The aim of this study was to detect candidate genes affecting the weaning ? to ? service interval of Landrace sows through the genome?wide association analysis（GWAS），in order to provide theoretical references for swine breeding in China. In this study, the weaning?to?service interval records and 50K gene data of 1 063 Landrace sows in a core breeding farm in China were used as research materials, and genome ? wide association analysis was performed by mixed linear models of GEMMA software to identify important loci. The results showed that there were 5significant SNPs in the first and third parity of Landrace sows. Haplotype analysis was performed on the 5 significant locus and 4 haplotype blocks were obtained. The screened genes of BTG1, FUT1, FUT2, SCNN1G, and CBLB may be the important genes affecting the weaning?to?servce interval traits. The results of this study can provide the reference for future practice of swine breeding.
