Impact of grazing intensity on feed intake,herbage mass,and animal productivity in the steppe of Inner Mongolia,China

摘要：

In Inner Mongolia in the north‐east of China the grassland steppe is traditionally used for grazing.In the last three decades overgrazing by sheep led to a sparely cover of vegetation in winter and enables soil erosion and hence degradation of the grassland.The aim of this study, which is part of a Sino‐German DFG research project,is to evaluate the effect of grazing intensity (GI, sheep/ha) on grassland and animal performance and to determine an optimal grazing intensity, which realizes a high animal and grassland performance in a sustainable way.
