Abstract

This paper presents the results of complex studies of pasture lands of Central Kazakhstan. The research was carried out on the territory of Karaganda region in the South-Eastern part of the Central Kazakhstan melkosopochnik. The article gives detailed geobotanical descriptions of plant communities and resources of pasture lands on two model farms of LLP "Atamura-Tabys" and KH "Er-DOS". Systematic analysis of all plant communities in the study area showed that the largest number of species is concentrated in the families Poaceae; Asteraceae; Rosaceae; Lamiaceae and Scrophulariaceae. Quality assessment of the fodder value of plant communities LLP "Atamura-Tabys" showed that community reedgrass - grass- sagebrush steppes with participation of shrubs and forb-herd grass-fescue-quack-grass meadow steppes are characterized by average quality pasture with a yield of 19.2 с/ha and 29.6 с/ha. Good fodder significance is characterized by a community of mixed-gramineous and grass-herdsman meadows where species with high and good fodder dignity predominate, and yields of 30.4 c/ha. In the plant communities of Peasant Farm «Er-DOS», the average quality indicator of pasture lands is characterized by mixed herbs-feather grass-spirea steppes and peat-land meadow in river floodplains with the participation of mixed-gramineous communities, where yields on average are 14.1 and 17.2 c/ha. Communities on steppe halophytic meadows should be attributed to pastures with a low quality index of feed significance with a low yield of 7.3 c/ha.

Key words: Pasture, animal breeding, Central Kazakhstan hill chain, Karaganda region, Republic of Kazakhstan, productivity, vegetation, resources.
