The results showed that no significant yield differences of standing forages were found in the rotational grazing area and in the closed area, which were all superior to the free stocking area. The standing forage productions in the rotational grazing area and in the closed area showed lowhighlow patterns, while a straight decline pattern was found in the free stocking area. Herbages in the free stocking area had higher contents of crude protein, crude ash, phosphorus, and lower content of crude fiber in the early growth stage, and lower contents of crude protein, crude ash, phosphorus and higher content of crude fiber in the late growth stage, in compared with the rotational grazing area and the closed area.Read More
