The problems in the current domestic forage production were evaluated, and the prospective improvement was suggested in this paper. Grassland development in forest, production of high quality forages in upland and paddy land, efficient utilization of rice straw, development of new varieties of forages suitable for our environmental conditions and imported forages were described Among them, preferential production and utilization of forages using paddy field after rice harvest . should be enlarged for domestic supply of forages in Korea. Several studies were carried out to select the promising forage crops and barley cultivars for whole crop silage production, to determine productivity, nutritive value and production cost of forages produced in paddy field, and feeding effect of forages with Hanuwoo and milking cow for whole crop silage with forages produced in paddy field, 1999 to 2001, and also discussed restraint factors and activation plans for enlargement of forage production in paddy land. The promising forage crops in paddy field were rye and barley for Middle region, and rye, barley, early maturing Italian ryegrass and wheat for Southern region. The promising barley cultivars for whole crop silage in paddy field were Albori in Suwon, Keunalbori, Milyang 92, Saessalbori, and Naehanssalbori in Iksan, and Keunalbori, Albori, Naehanssalbori, and Saegangbori in Milyang, respectively. Silage production, quality and animal palatability of silage by trench and round bale were also compared. The production yields of whole crop barley silage(WBS) were 17,135kg as a fresh matter, and 6,011kg as a dry matter per ha, and the quality of WBS was 2∼3 grade, while that of rice straw silage was 4 grade as a farm basis. The production cost of WBS per kg was 83won as a fresh matter, and 238won as a dry matter. Feeding of WBS as forages on Hanwoo was very desirable for the improvement of live-weight gain, beef quality and farm income, particularly in growing stage of Hanwoo. Milk production and income were also increased, and feed cost was decreased by feeding of WBS. The daily voluntary intake of WBS in milking cow was 26.3kg as a fresh matter(DM 7.7kg) per head. Milk production when WBS was fed, was very similar to that of imported hay feeding such as Kentucky bluegrass or domestic corn silage. The issues to be solved in near future f3r stable forage production and supply in paddy land are sustainable livestock-forages policy, development & seed production of new varieties of barley, rye, Italian ryegrass and other promising forages, efficient demand & supply system of forages, solidification for mass production and utilization of forages, efficient application management of animal slurry on paddy field considering environmental agriculture/livestock industry, and break k development of bottleneck technique in production field. Domestic production & supply of high cost agricultural machine (round baler, wrapper, handler and so on), plastic wrapping film, and silage additives are also important.

독일에서 초지를 근거로 한 가축경영의 중요한 문제는 목초보다는 옥수수나 곡류로 아주 쉽게 얻어질 수 있는 사료인 고에너지 농후사료가 필수적인 고능력우의 사육에 있다. 그러므로 우유생산은 초지지역에서 사료작물 지역으로 이동하는 추세이다. 아마 미래에는 우유생산은 초지지역에서 사료작물 지역으로 이동하는 추세이다. 아마 미래에는 우유생산에 있어서 농후사료에 의한 과잉영양분은 정부에 의해 제약을 받게 될 것이며, 발생되는 문제는 가장 좋은 초지를 이용하고, 최적의 사일리지 및 분료이용 기술을 이용하므로 해결될 수 있다. 지속적인 조사료 생산의 가장 중요한 단계는 특히, 사일리지 목초지에서 일반적인 보파기술을 포함한 초지관리에 있다. Hessian 초지의 약 40% 정도가 초지이용을 유지하기 위하여 그리고 자연자원을 보호하기 위하여 농업-환경 프로그램들(agri-environmental programs)로 관리를 받고 있다. 선택적인 조치들이 자연 및 산림보존에 대한 특별한 문제들을 해결하기 위하여 수행되어지고 있다.

Although economically viable, the livestock industry is currently facing a number of challenging environmental problems and highly complex social issues, many of which are related to its size and geographically concentrated nature. Increased emphasis on environmental quality has also placed new demands on livestock producers to ensure that their production practices are in harmony with natural environment. In terms of sustainable agricultural systems, ruminants have served and will continue to serve a valuable role. They are particularly useful in converting vast renewable resources from rangeland, pasture, and crop residues or other by-product into food edible for human. With ruminants, land that is too poor or too erodable to cultivate becomes productive. Also, nutrients in by-products are utilized and do not become a waste-disposal problem. In Korea, however, native and dairy cattle production is not consistent with the advantageous roles of ruminant livestock in sustainable agricultural system because imported feed grains become the main basis for cattle raising. At present the ruminant livestock producers are heavily concentrated in and around the urban areas. About 75% of all the nation's cattle herds are kept on the outskirts of urban areas. As a result, the amount of pasture and forage land available per head of cattle is generally small. Furthermore, animals are raised in a cattle shed with high density. This situation is rather unfavorable for the national economic and environmental points of view As nation income increased, the demand for livestock products grew at an unforeseeable pace. But the pasture area involving in current utilization is tended to decrease during recent years. Based on the above figures more than 250,000 ha of pasture ought to be available for the present herd of cattle. It is obvious that these needs can scarcely be met with arable lands. Lands area for the establishment of new grassland have to be found in the hills and mountains which have not yet been used for crop framing or livestock. The development of extensive grasslands in the hill and woodland areas is now a declared aim. The starting point of the present work is the lack of knowledge of forage production and utilization in hill pasture and woodland in spite of indispensable necessity for livestock production in Korea. The importance of pastoral system in hill region and woodland is particularly emphasized in a standpoint of sustainable livestock production. Main chapter comprises the principle and techniques applicable for improving the utilization of hill pasture and woodland. We finally discussed the problems to solve and future works for a successful livestock production in hill and mountainous area in Korea.

중국은 인구가 많고 경지면적이 적은 반면 인구의 계속적인 증가와 경지면적의 감소라는 이중압력을 받고 있어 곡물생산의 증가를 통한 축산업의 발전 잠재력이 나날이 축소되고 있다. 사료용 목초 재배를 통한 축산은 식량의 절약과, 고효율, 양질의 축산물 생산, 축산의 안전성과 지속성의 특징이 있어 중국의 특징에 부합된다. 본 문장에서는 첫째, 중국 남방지구의 자연과 사회 및 경제조건을 분석하였으며 아울러 사료용 목초의 생산, 이용 및 특징을 살펴보았다. 남방지구의 자연조건은 사료용 목초의 생산에 매우 적합하다. 사료용 목초는 주로 밭에서 재배하며, 품종은 일년생 또는 다년생 목초위주로 재배되고 있다. 사료용 목초의 대부분은 직접 사료로 이용되며, 사육대상은 초식성 가축과 가금 및 어류이다. 둘째, 중국 남방지구의 사료용 목초의 산업화 현황과 발전 추세 및 문제점에 대하여 살펴보았다. 현재 중국 남방지구의 사료용 목초의 산업화 수준은 높지 않지만 그 잠재력은 비교적 높다. 현재 주요한 문제점은 우량한 사료용 목초의 품종이 부족하며, 사료용 목초의 생산이 초기단계로 생산설비와 기술이 낙후되어 있고, 기계 화수준이 낮은데 있다. 마지막으로 중국 남방지구의 사료용 목초의 생산과 이용현황에 대해 전체적인 결론을 도출하였다.
