Research Of Applied Technologies In Forage Planting And Goat Confinement Feeding

The Qinba mountain area in the southern part of Shannxi province lies between the south of Qinling Mountain, and the north of Bashan mountain , belonging to the north subtropical climate zone, in the transition area of north and south of our country. Light, temperature, the water resource is sufficient, and frost-free period is long. It is suitable for growing all kinds of herb forage, establishing up the artificially sown pastures, and having good condition of raising goats in the shed.There are 1,530,000 hectares of natural rangeland in this area, but the proportion of artificially sown pastures is small, and the quality is also poor. In addition, topographical terrain complicated idle, the slope of mountain region is large, the consecution abilities of water and manure is poor; there are less fine varitypes of forage and no corresponding cultivation preservation, processing technology, the grass yield is low, and the supplies of forage to animalists of obviously seasonably. All these factors have caused the vicious circle that is " shortage in Spring, growing in Summer, flourishing in Autumn and barren in Winter", Which resulted the level of production of animal husbandry was low, and benefit of economy is low. Facing the current situation, introductions of the fine variety, research and popularization of the technologies of forage growing forage artificial, fodder processing and goats confinement raising are the key points of developing the husbandry continuously in the Qin Ba mountain area of Shaanxi province.In order to settle the main problems of restricting the development of raising goats and planting grass, demonstrating and popularizing the technologies of raising goats through planting grass artificially, Relied on China World Bank loan project and aiding poor project of Qin Ba mountain area, the technologies of planting grass and raising goats in the shed were carried out in the 201 villages and towns in the ten World Bank project counties among Shangluo, Ankang and Hanzhong areas. Through the efforts for 3 years, 1100 sci-tech model households were set to up, 760 person-times of technical backbone of county-township, the peasant technician and influential big sheep raising famityes and 12,000 person-time of had been trained of 12,000 rooms standardization shed with total area150,000 square meters, and 5000 of ammunition pool with 45,000 cubic meters had newly built. The practical technique of relying mainly on the fact that growing grass artificially, raising goats in the shed gets extensive popularization and application, growing grass 10333. 333 hectares artificially, and the yield per mu yield reached 4496 kilograms on average. The output was 10 times of the natural pasture. The family of raising goats in the shed reached 6,000 householders and the number of goat was up to 150,000 popularizingdegree has been up to 155%, the speed of popularization was up to 39%. 200,000 of the hybrid meat goat had been produced totally in four years, increasing economic benefits with an increaring of 97,635,000 yuan benefits totally.Launching experimental studies actively, that was suitable for Qin Ba mountain area to popularize. Summarizing practical techniques. Introducing 25 fine pieces of herbage. Selecting 12 fine pieces of herb suited for this area to populirize. Carrying out the research of planting herbage. The output was ten times of natural pasture. The project fills in our country's blank of researching herbage in Qin Ba mountain area. Offering strong technical support for the implementation of the project of the World bank and conceding the land and returning grasses. The performance of meat goat's production have improved further through introduction and hybridization of the fine species of goats. The growing speeds of the first generation of hybridization between Boer goat and the white goat in the southern parts of Shaanxi, and between Nanjiang yellow goat and the white goat were quicker than the white goat by 55% and 35%respectively.According to the situation in the QingBa mountain area, researchiong and exploring the methods of popularization of practical husbandry technologies that suitable for poor mountain area, Sticking to two combinations are the combination of politics, technology and product and the combination of popularization and example; Two sets of systems are: relying on the traditional system of popularzing, combing with system of Word Bank to set up the responsibility target of multi-layer administration—forming the type of government guide, rely on market economy and play the main roles of enterprise, forming the market promoting type of company plus peasantsGrowing grass artificially, raising goat in the shed, combining of forest and grass, forming complete sets of grass and livestock, all these alleviate the contridiction between forest and husbandly and bring about coordinated development in forest husbandry and solve the contradiction in recent and long-term benefits of the reforesting formerly cultivated land. Realizing the sustainable development of goat husbandry.
