Features: Grasslands are one of the most important natural resources in China. For a long time, overgrazing has led to severe degradation of grassland resources, which has been one of the main reasons for the frequent occurrence of sandstorms in China in recent years. This book starts with the economic and ecological functions of forage grasses and systematically introduces forage processing and conservation techniques, such as ensiling technology and forage product processing technology. It also provides information on forage varieties suitable for cultivation in different regions of China and their cultivation and utilization techniques. Based on the current development of grass-fed animal production, the book explores the relationship between forage and grass-fed animal production to promote the production of high-quality and safe animal products. This book is suitable for technical personnel engaged in livestock production and farming households, and can also serve as a reference for students majoring in related livestock-related fields.
