In the long history, the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau of China is interdependent with its unique geographical location and climate environment and the traditional animal husbandry mode of life and production. However, the long‐term uncontrolled development has caused many irreversible impacts on the local natural ecology. Therefore, from the formation source of the traditional animal husbandry production pattern at Qinghai-Tibet plateau to the new production pattern better adapted to the sustainable development goal, this study emphatically summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of several main animal husbandry mode abroad and the feasibility of their landing at Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This study has certain reference significance and implication for the sustainable ecological development of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China.
