OA show ('918 '); Swanson is the year of great disaster in Inner Mongolia this year This year's disaster is mainly drought, which hasn't happened for many years It also caused a large area of locust disaster, making the grassland even worse It is a natural law to reduce production in the event of a disaster From the point of view of the balance of grass and livestock, there seems to be nothing wrong with it However, Inner Mongolia has a good harvest "As of the end of June this year, in the fight against severe snow, drought and insect disasters, the animal husbandry of our region has won another round of victory in fighting against disasters and keeping livestock, and has had a good harvest for the 16th consecutive year." This is a piece of news in the main local media 16 years is not too long The media also revealed that in 10 years, the average growth rate of large and small livestock was 29.8%, while this year's total growth rate reached 31.81% The total number of livestock is close to 80 million I don't know whether the news is good or bad The topic of digital growth has been talked about for decades While this media is reporting such good news to people, other versions of it are still reflecting on these topics It's really an unspeakable taste in my heart In fact, this taste of reporters in Xilingol Grassland interview on lingering in mind In Sumu (township) and Gacha (Village), there are copper signs everywhere There are more than 10000 livestock and more than 10000 livestock This is the honor certificate issued by the government to herdsmen or the superior to the grass-roots level What are these brought to the grassland? According to statistics, the herbage yield of natural grassland in Inner Mongolia is generally reduced by 50% to 70%, among which the typical grassland is reduced by 30% to 40%, the meadow grassland is reduced by 50% to 70%, and the desert grassland is reduced by 50% According to the survey and calculation in 1985, the suitable carrying capacity of grassland in the whole area is 44.297 million sheep units; the average overload of grassland in the whole area is 30% according to the statistics in 1995; 9 out of the 12 leagues (cities) in the whole area are short of forage supply and overload In the 1950s, the effective grassland per sheep unit in Inner Mongolia grassland was 3.3 hectares, which was 0.87 hectares in the mid-1980s, and then decreased to 0.42 hectares In the 1960s, the total area of grassland in the region was 86.666 million hectares, which was reduced to 78.8 million hectares and 7.86 million hectares in the 1980s Now, the available grassland area is 8.28 million hectares less than that in the 1980s According to the third survey of grassland resources in 1985, the area of grassland degradation and desertification in the whole region is 35.43 million hectares, accounting for 53.6% of the usable area, among which 56 banners (counties) with more than 50% of the degraded grassland area account for 63.7% of the total number of banners (counties) in the whole region It was 15 years ago Now what? There are fewer grassland, worse quality and more livestock, which is the embarrassing situation of Inner Mongolia grassland According to experts, one of the important reasons for grassland degradation is overgrazing The state has put forward the strategy of returning grazing land to grassland and curbing grassland desertification, which is a recognition at a heavy price There is also a strategy in Inner Mongolia called "double increase and double raise" The "double increase" is to increase grass and livestock, but it is OK to increase grass Can we increase livestock? In fact, if you look at the grassland and the desertified grassland, you should be clear Blindly pursuing the number of livestock can only lead to the accelerated degradation of grassland, which in fact is to destroy the ecology and to commit crimes against the country and its descendants China feed industry information network bxq (author:)
