Research Interests
1 Forage germplasm evaluation and breeding. We focus on forage physiological and molecular mechanism under abiotic stress and alfalfa breeding.
2 Forage natural products extraction and their activity. We focus on forages natural products extraction and their activity, their function to the animal.
3 Balance between Animal and Grassland Production and the Management of Grassland. We focus on balance between Animal-Grassland Production and the Grassland Management in Tibet.
4 Animal nutrition. We focus on new feeding stuff development, such as feeding of poultry.

We offer technique support to animal husbandry in Tibet, especially in Tibetan grassland grazing capacity evaluation and breeding, production and utilization of wild forages. We also offer consultation on forage (especially alfalfa) variety selection, and cultivation for animal husbandry around Shaanxi Province. Our patents will be supported for new additive development.
