Abstract
It was summarized that the effects of different grazing intensity on grazing behaviour、grazing grass forms and performance of sheep in recent years in this paper,it was showed that①There was negative correlation between the live weight gain per sheep and the grazing intensity,but there was positive correlation between the live weight gain per hectare and the grazing intensity;②Feed intake of sheep was decreased with the increase of grazing intensity;③The reproductiue performance of sheep under different grazing intensity were not affected;④As the grazing intensity becomed heavier,the eating time of sheep increased while resting and idling time decreased;Feed intake per hundred mouths and daily intake reduced,intake velocity increased;⑤Acceptability of sheep is relative;⑥The light grazing was beneficial to promote quality of mutton,but mutton yiecd mouton and gross economy benefit were low.
