Since April 10, 13.1 million mu of grassland in the Evenki Autonomous Banner has entered the fallow period, and 1.35 million mu of grassland has entered the ban on grazing. The spring grazing will last until May 25, during which the herders will raise cattle and sheep in captivity to promote grassland recuperation during the fragile stage of the forage growth cycle, and protect the full regreening and subsequent growth of the pasture.
The reporter came to the home of Siren, a herdsman from Sumut Mohuzhu Gacha in the west of the Sini River, and the staff of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of the Evenki Autonomous Banner were carrying out door-to-door propaganda to popularize the fallow time, subsidy policy and relevant laws and regulations for the Siren family. Siren's family has more than 3,400 acres of pasture, more than 40 cows and more than 500 sheep at home, and now they are all enclosed in their own sheds. In order to ensure that the livestock can survive the fallow period, the Siren family has reserved more than 200 bales of forage, 6 tons of corn, straw and other feed. Siren said: "We are recovering the pasture grass to make it grow better and make the grassland ecology better, and I hope that my descendants can also see the grassland when I was a child." Now the state has also subsidized us, which has reduced a lot of burden on our captive cattle and sheep during the fallow period. ”
Spring fallow grazing can effectively prevent livestock from grazing and trampling on pasture, improve forage yield, effectively avoid the phenomenon of cattle and sheep "running green", and reduce the economic losses of herdsmen. This year, there are more than 4,100 herdsmen in the whole banner, with a total of more than 17 million cattle and more than 600,000 sheep entering the "captive" mode.
Su Lixin, deputy director of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of the Ewenki Autonomous Banner, said: "During the fallow period, the Sumu Township Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau will carry out law enforcement supervision and inspection, and the Banner People's Government has also reserved a certain amount of disaster-resistant forage before the start of the fallow period, and the comprehensive service stations of the agricultural and animal husbandry departments and townships have also strengthened the prevention and control and guidance of livestock disease prevention and control, and the financial department will also issue a subsidy of 0.73 yuan per mu after the end of the fallow period." Now, herders also have a good understanding of the fallow grazing policy, and can consciously raise livestock in captivity during the fallow grazing period, and adopt the method of feeding for animal husbandry production. ”
According to the 2023 monitoring report on the rejuvenation of natural grasslands in the Evenki Autonomous Banner, as of May 11, 2023, the rate of natural grassland pasture greening can reach 55%-70%, and the grassland ecology of the Evenki Autonomous Banner will continue to improve. Through spring grazing, while protecting the grassland ecology, it also ensures the production of herdsmen's animal husbandry, coordinates the protection and development of grassland pastoral areas, and continuously promotes the coordinated and sustainable development of ecology, production and life.
