Barriers to using feed balance systems for range livestock production — Case study at Dacha Village,Sunan County of Gansu province

The feed‐balance was one of the important approaches to address the rangeland degradation problem (Yang et al., 2005).Reducing the number of animals is the first step in achieving feed balance because the opportunities to increase feed supply on rangeland is limited and the area suitable for growing artificial pasture is small.However,developing the process and defining the responsibilities for implementing stocking rate reductions is challenging.This paper uses a simple analysis of survey data to identify the impact of stocking rate reductions on household income.Based on our analysis we provide some suggestions on how to improve the current feed balance system.
