Abstract: The livestock industry links the "vegetable basket" of urban and rural residents with farm household income, and has long occupied an important position in the agricultural and rural economy of Jiangxi Province. To address the weak connection between smallholder farmers and modern animal husbandry, Jiangxi, based on the 14th Five-Year Plan for Agricultural and Rural Modernization and the implementation opinions on high-quality development of the poultry industry, formulated the Accession Specification for Service Subjects of Rural Characteristic Industries (Livestock and Poultry), specifying requirements in four dimensions: materials and equipment, premises, personnel, and service content. Taking this specification as the entry point, and combining the five-category service framework (production, agro-technology, agricultural inputs, information, and marketing) with local practices such as the Ningdu yellow chicken industry, this paper analyzes the practical logic and prominent contradictions in cultivating livestock service subjects in Jiangxi. It identifies problems including fragmented service links, shortage of specialized personnel, mismatch between supply and demand, and loose interest linkages, and proposes pathways from the perspectives of classified cultivation, whole-chain service provision, and policy and interest linkage, so as to provide a reference for the high-quality development of animal husbandry in Jiangxi.
