Description
A proper grazing system is the effective measure to put pasture resources to rational use. Many scholars had compared rotation grazing to continuous grazing. Some results were shown that rotation grazing can bring more herbage production and liveweight gain than the continuous grazing (Allan, 1985), but others were shown that there was no significant difference between rotation and continuous grazing, even the continuous grazing was better than the rotation grazing (Jerry et al, 1987). In the recent years, many scholars had compared the rotation to the continuous grazing in all round way, especially in grassland vegetation and soil characteristics (Heitschmidt et al, 1987 and Ahmed, 1987). The purpose of this experiment was to compare the effects of rotation and continuous-seasonal grazing on grassland vegetation, soil characteristics and performance of livestock, for pro bing a proper grazing system in the desert steppe and directing production practice.
