HAIKOU, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- Southern China's Hainan Province began operation of a new stretch of railway track on Wednesday, completing the world's first high-speed train line to circle an island.

A bullet train set off from Haikou, the capital of the island province, at 9:40 a.m., launching operations of the 345-km western track of the loop line, which links six counties to join the eastern track in Sanya City, a beach resort on the island's southern coast.

The 308-km eastern part was put into operation at the end of 2010, linking Haikou to Sanya, with a designed speed of up to 250 km per hour. It passes Boao, a scenic town that is the site of the annual Boao Forum for Asia.

Construction of the western track began in September 2013 with an investment of 27 billion yuan (4.23 billion U.S. dollars).

With a land area of 35,400 square km, Hainan is slightly larger than Belgium. The popular destination for beach lovers is expected to receive 47 million visitors this year.

Sun's team, together with Nanjing Agricultural University, formulated the national standard after years of research.

Some measures that are believed to reduce stress and make poultry more relaxed during capture, transport and loading were detailed in the standard. The guideline states chickens should be captured with a trap or by two wings using both hands, but not seized by a single wing or their thighs. Transport should occur within three hours of slaughter, and using a touch panel on the chicken's chest can make it feel safe and peaceful. Another recommendation calls for using gas to put poultry into coma before processing.

Producing about 20 percent of chickens in the country, Shandong leads China's poultry breeding industry, Sun said. But at times poor quality, which can include blood clots, broken chicken wings and legs caused by poor sl. [url=http://www.wholesalecheapmlbjerseyschina.com/]Wholesale Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://www.wholesalemlbjerseysforcheap.com/]Wholesale Cheap Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://www.wholesalejerseyssoccerforcheap.com/]Wholesale Jerseys From China[/url]   [url=http://www.wholesalecollegejerseysforcheap.com/]Wholesale Jerseys From China[/url]   [url=http://www.wholesalecheapnfljerseysfootball.com/]Wholesale Jerseys Online[/url]   [url=http://wholesaleauthenticjerseysnba.com/]Wholesale Authentic Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://wholesaleauthenticjerseyscollege.com/]Wholesale College Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://cheapauthenticjerseysnba.com/]Cheap Jerseys China Free Shipping[/url]   [url=http://cheapauthenticjerseyscollege.com/]Wholesale College Basketball Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://www.wholesalesoccerjerseysatcheap.com/]Cheap Soccer Jerseys[/url]
