摘要
针对太仆寺旗公共草地全年连续放牧的传统放牧方式,通过控制性试验,并结合太仆寺旗多年的草地、家畜、经济和气象等数据,建立中国西部草地生态经济模型,对太仆寺旗典型草原公共放牧系统进行模拟分析。以草原生态恢复和牧民收入增加为目的,对典型草原的最适载畜率、家畜在冬春季节的合理补饲等问题进行探讨,提出了典型草原放牧管理优化模式。研究结果表明,从当年10月到翌年5月份,家畜能量需求与放牧、补饲能量供给严重不平衡,家畜体重下降;随着载畜率的增加,牧民年均净收入先增加后降低,在载畜率为2.275羊单位/hm2时,收入达到最高;太仆寺旗最适载畜率为每公顷1.55-2.275羊单位。降低载畜率、加强补饲、提高草地质量都有利于提高牧民收入。
The degradation of grassland in China is serious, the area of degradation accounting for 90% available grassland in China. Serious grassland degradation has brought great impact on local ecological environment, biodiversity conservation and animal husbandry development. In Taipusi Banner, Inner Mongolia, severe over-grazing resulted in the area of degradation accounting for 90% of the 150 000 hm^2 of typical steppe. To evaluate the public grazing management of typical steppe in this region, the condition of grassland, animal, farm income, climate and some control experiment data were used in this bioeeonomic model of China to analyse public grazing system in Taipusi Banner. These analyses were used two farm models. One was feeding balance model which was used to analyse the livestock production system and the second was farm systems model that which was used to analyse the optimal solution for net financial returns within specified constraints. The farm surveys results showed the current practice of high stocking rates in Taipusi directly leads to grassland degradation, low animal productivity and net incomes. Simulations of the feed balance model indicated that there were big energy demand deficit from October to May at animal growth time, net income of farm was inclined to decreased when stocking rate was more than 2. 275sheep/hm^2. The farm systems model showed that net financial returns could be improved through reducing stocking rates closer to 2. 275sheep/hm^2 for the current predominately mutton sheep system. And further gains could result from changing to fine wool sheep at the same lower stocking rate. At the same time, reduce goat number could enhance the grassland productivity, especially when combine with an early summer gazing ban that enables the grassland to re-establish after winter. Estimates of grass condition demonstrated that a different ratio of desirable and undesirable grassland species has no significant effect on net income and feeding cost when stocking rate is less than 1. 55sheep/hm^2. A higher composition of desirable species resulted in lower feeding costs and greater net income when the stocking rate was more than1.55sheep/hm^2. Net income can be maintained at the highest stocking rate when desirable species exceeded 75% of the grassland composition. Consequently, the optimal stocking rate of Taipusi Banner is between 1.55 -2. 275sheep/hm^2.
Sustainable grassland and livestock production requires a systems analysis of current farm practices and options. The analysis of a typical Taipusi farm model showed that individual farmer can adopt grazing management changes were realistic and potentially. Importantly, the potential management options are compatible with current farming systems. The directions of change are useful for achieving benefits for grassland productivity improvement, though further research will be needed to proved whether rate of change is sustainable or not. Our study tested that improvement productivity of farm and net farm financial returns could be achieved at the same time by reducing stocking rates, improving supplement condition, improving desirable grass ration and changing enterprise types. Our study was expected to provide meaningful data for preventing grassland from degradation, restoring grassland, grassland optimal utilization, improving grazing management and livestock production as well.
