Abstract: Atriplex canescensA. canescens) shows stress resistance or tolerance to cold, drought, saline-alkali and barren. It has high biomass and exhibites strong adaptability when introduced and planted in various habitat in northern China. A. canescens can be used as improvement plant of saline land, high-quality feed and host of Cistanche deserticola, and it has a great developmental potential in northern China. On the basis of consulting a large number of literature, this paper analyzes and summarizes the feeding value of A. canescens, proposes that the future research should focus on the aspects of high yield cultivation, formula feed processing, and planting technology on saline-alkali soil land, in hoping to provide references for feed development and utilization of A. canescens.

Key words: Atriplex canescens, shrub forage, feeding value, feed processing, developmental prospects
