Abstract: The authors took the circular agriculture research base in Jinjing Town of Changsha County in Hunan Province as an example, analyzed the comparative benefits of“only cattle”,“grass-cattle”and“grasscattle-fertilizer”model. The results showed that compared with“only cattle”model, the gross output value, net output value and profit of“grass-cattle-fertilizer”model increased by 18.3%, 76.7% and 88.4%, respectively. The results of cost and investment analysis showed that cost use ratio, utilization efficiency, investment use ratio and investment results of“grass-cattle-fertilizer”model were the best, then was“grass-cattle”model and“only cattle”model was the worst. Analysis of labor input showed that the labor cost of“grass-cattlefertilizer” and“grass-cattle”accounted for 26.8% and 25.9% of the total cost, which were 57.7% and 56.2% higher than that of“only cattle”model, and it indicated that the labor cost of“grass-cattle-fertilizer”and “grass-cattle”was relatively high, it was imperative to accelerate the application of mechanization technology. Compared with“only cattle”model, the total output value and net output value of“grass-cattle-fertilizer” model increased by 1.2 times and 4.3 times, after deducting labor cost, the net return of“grass- cattle-fertilizer”model increased by 8.60 times and 1.16 times compared with that of“only cattle”and“grasscattle” model. Therefore, the clarification of“grass- cattle- fertilizer”model could not only prevent the environmental pollution caused by the wastes in cattle farms effectively, but also have better economic benefits.
