ABSTRACT

Alfalfa is a kind of perennial, high quality legume grass with high yield and strong adaptability. Feeding alfalfa in the process of mutton sheep breeding can effectively reduce the breeding cost and improve the economic benefits of breeding. Feeding alfalfa enhances the sheep immune system and improves the yield and quality of lamb. This paper mainly introduces the alfalfa cultivation technique and its application in mutton sheep breeding. Japan's animal husbandry is developed, but to ensure the stable feed supply in pastoral areas, it is necessary to find advanced feed. Alfalfa is a high-quality feed source that can meet this requirement, and its demand and feasibility of silage as a winter feed for sheep are also very high. Based on this, this paper focuses on the problems of alfalfa cultivation and its technical characteristics in animal husbandry.
