The Development Status, Existing Problems and Countermeasures of Alfalfa Industry in Jiuquan City

Abstract:

In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, the intake of animal protein in the dietary structure has increased. The animal husbandry industry, especially the dairy industry, has developed rapidly, and the number of dairy cows in the country has continued to increase. There is a strong demand for highquality plantbased protein feed, especially alfalfa products, with an annual gap of about 15 million tons. From the perspective of market demand, the development of alfalfa industry in Jiuquan City has a broad market space and good opportunities. Jiuquan has given full play to its geographical advantages and natural resource endowment, and has effectively promoted the rapid development of the forage industry through the implementation of highyield and highquality alfalfa demonstration construction projects, grassland ecological compensation policies, forage improved seed subsidies, and projects for changing the development mode of grassland animal husbandry. The industrialization pattern of alfalfa has initially appeared in Jiuquan. We introduce and analyze the current development status, existing problems and countermeasures of the alfalfa industry for your reference.
