The red plains of early spring are covered with snow. On the 16th, a grassland in Da'e Village, Wacher Town, was crowded with herdsmen who came to study and buy forage. The owner of the grassland, named Zelang Zhenerji, is a representative figure of the herdsmen in Hongyuan County.

Many years ago, Zelang Zhenerji is a herdsman who specializes in raising yaks. due to the difficult climatic conditions in Hongyuan, the problem of yak forage for winter has always been a worry for herdsmen. Later, an opportunity for Zelang grabbed Kiel to go to countries and regions with developed animal husbandry, such as Germany and France. Through investigation, he found that the foreign practice of raising livestock and planting forage grass was very suitable for the environment of Hongyuan.

The development from single culture to the combination of cultivation and cultivation has become the practice of Zelang after his return to China. In the past few years, his pasture has formed a diversified development pattern with the combination of breeding and management of grass industry, explored the "production-plus-marketing" management model of forage planting, management, storage and sales, and realized forage standardization and large-scale production.

Zelang Zaierji said that at present, his family has 425 yaks and 32 improved cattle, contracted pastures of 3200 mu, and rented more than 9800 mu of pastures around him. It is estimated that 210000 kilograms of silage hay will be collected this year, with an output value of more than 400,000 yuan.

Zelang's exploration of seizing Erji has played a positive demonstration and driving role for the surrounding herdsmen to develop grass industry, and it is also a microcosm of the development of modern animal husbandry in Hongyuan County. In recent years, Hongyuan has widely promoted the use of modern agricultural science, technology and equipment, and vigorously promoted the use of basic practical technologies and equipment such as animal breed improvement, mechanization of agriculture and animal husbandry, grassland improvement and artificial recommendation, and epidemic prevention and control. Integrated pilot demonstration of a number of urgently needed modern agricultural varieties, new technologies, and new equipment with high scientific and technological content. Develop new technologies for processing, storage and graded packaging of agricultural and livestock products in pastoral areas, guide enterprises and operators to carry out production, processing and circulation in accordance with relevant technical norms and standards, and establish a standardization system for product production and management.
