Abstract: In this study, a total of 101 households managing animal husbandry production in Longren Township of Dangxiong County of Tibet were selected as survey objects to investigate the grassland resources, livestock breeding, supply and demand of herbage and livestock and family economic income by using household survey method in combination with on-the-spot observation. The results showed that there were outstanding problems in artificial grassland construction, grassland carrying capacity, herbage and livestock allocation, forage purchasing and storage and livestock breeding in this area. We proposed some corresponding countermeasures from the aspects of improving the yield and quality of artificial grass, prioritizing the development of seasonal animal husbandry, and targeted guiding new types of grass planting and livestock breeding techniques.

Key words: Dangxiong County, herdsmen, supply and demand of herbage and livestock, grazing capacity, economic income
