How should yak choose pasture in different seasons?

1. There is no obvious change in Qinghai-Tibet four seasons, but there are differences between cold and warm seasons. Generally speaking, pastures can be divided into summer and autumn pastures and winter and spring pastures. First of all, in summer and autumn, the pasture should be chosen far away from the populated areas, with sufficient water, high altitude, cool ventilation and other conditions. Secondly, winter and spring pastures should be chosen in low-lying areas or low-lying places on sunny slopes, close to residential areas, with convenient transportation.

Every winter and spring, grazing time should be between 9 ~ 10 and 15 ~ 16. If you encounter bad weather, you should take supplementary feeding measures. In addition, the grazing time in summer and autumn is 12 ~ 24 hours, which is the key period of grasping fertilizer for mating and increasing production. It is necessary to do a good job in daily feeding management and lay a solid foundation for wintering.

2. Grazing time in winter and spring: Winter is the key period for yak to keep fat, and it is also the period for female yak to keep fetus. After entering the winter and spring season, yaks are strong and fat, so they should choose to graze in remote pastoral areas and snow-free alpine pastoral areas. In the cold winter, we should always pay attention to the weather forecast, and return to grazing in time in case of snowstorm to ensure the safety of yak in winter. In addition, for pregnant female yak, do a good job in calving safely and improve the survival rate. In stormy and snowy weather, grazing should be stopped and supplemented in the fence. After the temperature rises gradually in spring, the grazing time can be appropriately extended.

In addition, for the pregnant female yak, it is necessary to do a good job of calving safely and improve the survival rate. In stormy and snowy weather, grazing should be stopped and supplementary feeding should be carried out in the fence.

3. Grazing time in summer and autumn: From April to June every year, cows need to move to summer pasture, during which the grazing environment changes from lowlands to mountains. In order to better promote yak weight gain, grazing time can be appropriately extended. Grazing day and night within 12 ~ 24h every day to increase the feed intake of yaks and ensure that female yaks are in estrus and calving as soon as possible. There are many mosquitoes in summer and autumn, so grazing in cool mountain areas should be chosen to reduce mosquito bites and ensure the quality of milk and yak meat.
