The invention belongs to the technical field of
livestock breeding and specifically relates to an ecological method of
breeding chicken by planting grass under trees. The method includes that a fine
forage grass
breed which is shade-tolerant,
trampling-resistant, strong in
stress resistance and applicable to being planted in the forest is selected, and a forest land for
grazing the chicken is modified to form a
grassland under the trees for
grazing the chicken; a contour grass and
shrub zone in a
stocking land is used for planting the grass, a chicken house is built in the middle of the
grassland under the trees for
grazing the chicken, zone division is performed for rotation grazing, and zones are separated by biological fences; and Chinese herbal plants are sowed in rotation grazing zones so that the grazed chicken can freely ingest the plants. A scientific evidence is provided for obvious
economic benefits and ecological benefits which are achieved by means of rapid development of domestic fowls and effective
ecological rehabilitation, wherein the domestic fowls of Hetian chicken and the like are applicable to
stocking in forestland. By means of the model for breeding the chicken, high
economic benefits are created, parts of the
economic benefits are used for investing development of ecological chicken breeding model, and the created economic benefits and the development of ecological chicken breeding model are combined for creating better benefits, and accordingly, a virtuous cycle is achieved, ecological balance is kept, and the
sustainable development is effectively achieved.
