Abstract: One of the purposes for the improvement of forages efficient utilization in rumens was to adjust the physiological function of ruminant in Tibet,and to improve the disadvantage influences under the altitude environment.The electrocardiography,rumen electromyography and tension in the rumen were drawn the before and after catgut embedding in the liumai acupuncture point to the Tibet sheep.The result showed that catgut embedding in the liumai acupuncture point could promoted the blood circulation,alleviated the overload of myocardial and remedied the right deviation of heart electrical axis up to 40°.The VPP and RA of rumen were significantly lower and the tension of rumen decreased 1/3 after catgut embedding.The result indicated that it could relaxed the right ventricular hypertrophy,reduced the tension of rumen,improved the function of gastrointestinal tract and blood circulation,ensured sufficient time to digest the forage in rumen.
