Grassland animal husbandry is an animal husbandry that uses grassland to graze livestock directly, or uses grassland as forage to mow the land to raise livestock. Grassland in China can be divided into natural grassland, artificial grassland and semi-artificial grassland according to the nature of plant community. According to the distribution of grassland, it can be divided into two types: northern grassland and southern grassland. The problems of grassland animal husbandry in China are the degradation of grassland resources and the low level of animal husbandry productivity. In addition to the lack of advanced management methods, it is also related to the poor natural conditions in these areas. The main ways to develop grassland animal husbandry are: improving grassland, expanding artificial grass planting where conditions permit, building barn, strengthening service system and reforming unreasonable circulation system.
According to the principles and indicators of animal husbandry regionalization, and on the basis of fully considering the regional differences in feed resources, natural environment, feeding technology, social needs, national habits and production characteristics, China's animal husbandry is divided into seven animal husbandry regional types: Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Meng Xin Plateau, Loess Plateau, Southwest Mountainous Area, Northeast China, Huanghuai Sea Area and East China Sea Area. This paper summarizes the animal husbandry resources, development status and main problems in each district, and puts forward the development direction and main problems of animal husbandry in each district.
