Abstract: In order to increase the productivity of grassland animal husbandry, reduce natural disasters, curb grassland degradation and solve some problems of animal husbandry development in Inner Mongolia, we should actively develop feed shrubs. Forage forests can supplement the shortage of feed caused by seasonal difference and natural disasters in natural grasslands in winter and spring, solve the difficulties in storage and transportation of feed and shortage of funds, regulate the climate, improve the soil fertility, proof wind and fix sand, thereby promoting the benign cycle of grassland ecology. In the natural grasslands of Inner Mongolia, shrubs or small arbors such as Caragana microphylla, Caragana korshinskii Kom, Hedysarum scoparium Fisch et May, Hedysarum mongolicum Turcz, Lespedeza bicolor Turcz, Hippophae rhamnoides Linn, Ulmaceae macrocarpa Hance and Kochia prostrata (L.) Schrad can be used to create forage forests. Scientific research should be actively carried out on the harvesting and cutting period, planting scale, feeding methods and breeding of improved varieties of forage forests.
