Introduction: in recent years, it is not uncommon for us to restrict the raising of goats and even slaughter them for the sake of protecting the ecological environment The "important measures" of "protecting forest and grass, banning goats" will also be carried out in the areas where the agriculture and animal husbandry of Bameng, YIKEZHAO, Chifeng and Xilinguole are in the border area of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Some people blame goats for the worsening living environment, which makes the grassland unable to be effectively protected, thus gradually desertification and degradation of Inner Mongolia grassland Even the increasing sandstorm year by year is said to be caused by too many goats According to Yang De, an expert of Grassland Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and deputy director of Inner Mongolia animal husbandry department, the speed of construction can not match the speed of destruction without paying attention to the protection and rational utilization of grassland, which is the most important reason for the desertification and degradation of Inner Mongolia grassland In fact, there is not much inevitable connection between banning goat breeding or even killing goat and the ecological restoration of grassland According to Professor Tian Guoliang of Inner Mongolia Academy of animal husbandry, we have made an investigation In a pasture, sheep leave obvious traces of soil damage in the land they pass, while goats move left and right Only when they pass through difficult places and climb, they move along a certain route This shows that sheep do more harm to grassland than goats At the same time, sheep eat grass closer to the soil than goats Therefore, it is easier to uproot the grass by sheep rather than goats TPE an official of the food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Fu Renqi, has compiled a book called goat, which reads: "forest workers blame goats for their eating habits But to be fair and frank, most of the damage should be borne by the careless A large number of research data show that the relative value provided by goats, sheep and cattle is 122:100:72 Similarly, information from Pakistan and Lebanon shows that goats provide more than sheep In Venezuela, the policy of eliminating goats lasted for 20 years, but it was finally revised " TPE, of course, should take a scientific attitude towards everything Zhang Hai, vice president of Ordos group, recently pointed out that the best cashmere in the world comes from China, which is also the largest cashmere producing country If blind development of goats leads to disordered development, it will not be good for industrial development, nor for environmental protection The state should take measures to promote the common development of goat breeding and ecological protection TPE
