In this article, comprehensive studies have been conducted on the rational use of natural pastures, taking into account the seasons and typology, which allows increasing the grazing capacity of forage lands, as well as obtaining high-grade valuable and cheap livestock products. Rational maintenance of livestock on pastures not only reduces fuel costs by 6-7 times, equipment, labor and total feed costs by 2-3 times compared to the content of grazed animals, but also improves metabolic processes and reproductive functions of animals. This determines the great advantage of pasture feeding in the production of important livestock products. In the conditions of vertical zonality of the Zhambyl region, a significant reserve for increasing the production of mutton is their grazing on pasture with the use of pasture turnover; which allows the most efficient use of natural forage lands, increase the live weight and fatness of animals.
