Abstract:Based on investigation in pilot areas of grass and animal husbandry in Shan’xi and Qinghai provinces,this paper first analyzes the current situations of grass and animal husbandry in China from the development of grass and animal husbandry,growth of herbivorous livestock,planting structure optimization,regional differentiation of grass planting varieties and comparative effectiveness of grain and forage crops,then summarizes the experience of grass and animal husbandry development in the pilot areas in the promotion of science and technology,mode development of production and management,construction of financing platform,path choice of grass silage,combination of forage planting and precision poverty alleviation and leading enterprises driving,etc. And finally analyzes several difficulties and problems in the development of grass and animal husbandry:traditional breeding concept prevails,forage machinery and facilities maintain shortage; technology development difficulties obviously restrict pasture production,policy insurance gaps do not match high risk and the mechanism of financial support is not in place. Therefore,aiming at the above difficulties and problems,this paper proposes such policy suggestions as strengthening publicity and popularization of science and technology training,speeding up research development of machinery and equipment suitable for different regions,promoting the integration of grass and breeding,pushing forward diversified forms of forage industry development,advancing the implementation of the forage industry insurance and increasing financial support and so on.
