Abstract

The supply and demand of roughage in China is tight. The lack of high-quality roughage such as alfalfa has always been a bottleneck for efficient animal husbandry. The yield and quality of the domestic alfalfa hay has not been able to fully meet the development needs of the animal husbandry. The large amount of imported alfalfa hay leaded to high feeding cost of China's animal husbandry, resulting in the lack of competitiveness of China's dairy industry in the international market. To cure the above problems, this article reviewed the effects of various unconventional feeds replacing alfalfa hay on ruminant production, and analyzed their alternative methods and feasibility, and to provide theoretical reference and guiding significance for scientifically using unconventional feeds to reduce the use of alfalfa hay in diet formulations and thus reduce feeding cost and improving the international competitiveness of China's animal husbandry.
