Abstract: Though the animal husbandry in the southern hillside with red soil has been developed greatly with the improving of the science technology, the overall level was still on the low side and the restricting factors to development were still existed. The strategic stress was to develop ruminant husbandry in a great extent. The animal husbandry could be promoted by developing the forage-saving herbivore depend on the resource advantage, developing the distinctive husbandry products depend on the regional advantage, developing the science and technology, combining the resources exploiting and ecological protection, exploiting the developing model about farming-pastoral coupling, and so on.
