Effects of Long-Term Grazing on Feed Intake and Digestibility of Cattle in Meadow Steppe

(1) Estimation of grazing livestock intake is the basis for studying animal–plant relationships and nutritional status has important implications grassland composition productivity. (2) We used saturated alkanes method to determine feed vegetation nutrient digestibility at different intensities in months. (3) found that C31 had highest concentration both pasture fecal output, average recovery was 77.99%. The significantly affected intake. As intensity increased, there a decreasing trend 6.11 kg DM/day light grazing. With increase season months, 6.67 cold period September. month also significant effect on all variables when compared intensity. Livestock weight medium palatability species are more (4) Our study provides accurate measurement intake, which can be as reference scientific management rational use pastures.
