Abstract:

Zhangye beef cattle are distributed in the desert area of Hexi, and are mainly produced in the Hexi Corridor. This is an important economic livestock species in the local area, and it is also a typical plateau model livestock species with strong environmental adaptability. In this paper, the reproductive performance and growth performance of Zhangye beef cattle grazing in highaltitude alpine areas and Zhangye beef cattle grazing in plain areas were studied. We observed its environmental adaptability and disease resistance during the process.
