Abstract:

Forage grass and feed are important material basis for animal husbandry production. Since the China′s Thirteenth Five-Year Plan, the state and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region have successively implemented the policies and measures such as grassland ecological protection subsidies and awards, grain to feed, and alfalfa development action for the revitalization of dairy industry, which have effectively promoted the development of forage grass and feed industry and achieved positive results. As the demand of Chinese residents for beef, mutton and dairy products grows continuously and rapidly, the shortage of high-quality forage grass has become more and more prominent. According to estimates, to ensure the national goal of self-sufficiency of beef, mutton and milk, the total demand for high-quality forage grass will exceed 120 million tons. As China′s main export base of livestock products, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region should enhance its support and investment in the forage grass and feed industry, improve the supply capacity of high-quality forage grass, increase the market share of local feed products, and provide strong support for the high-quality and high-efficient development of animal husbandry. This article gives an in-depth overview of the basic situation of the forage grass and feed industry in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, analyzes the existing problems, and puts forward countermeasures and suggestions, in hoping to provide references for promoting the healthy development of the forage grass and feed industry in this region and improving the supporting ability of the forage grass and feed industry for the high-quality development of animal husbandry.
