China's fodder production situation and countermeasure analysis

Fodder is the base for feeding livestock, such as cattle and sheep. In this paper, we summarized the data from Chinese prataculture statistics, and monitoring reports of grassland protection and construction projects, and Chinese animal husbandry statistical data. Otherwise, we combined our on-site investigation information with the above summarized data and reviewed the situation and development of Chinese fodder production since the 21st century. In general, Chinese fodder production tends to grow forward with low develpment level, which could not meet the requirement for developing advanced animal husbandry industry. Therefore, we suggested to strengthen the artificial fodder construction, and enforce the national support from strategic planning and relevant policy.
