At the same time, there are many agricultural research institutions in Tianhe District and outstanding scientific and technological strength. According to reports, Tianhe has 15 agricultural research and promotion institutions, and scientific research institutions in the district have made major technological breakthroughs in the fields of plant resource collection and appraisal, animal and plant species selection and breeding.
Guangdong Agricultural Sciences College located in TianheBabaylan has built one national key laboratory for livestock and poultry breeding, six national germplasm resource gardens, and three germplasm resource gardens of the Ministry of Agriculture.
