[Objectives]The diversity of wild germplasm in Desmodium Desv.and its value of medicine and feeding as resources of forage with high-quality were evaluated to provide a basis for the further studies on feeding animals and promoting the utilization of Desmodium Desv.plants.[Methods]The status,genetic diver-sity,chemical composition,and the value of feeding in germplasm of Desmodium Desv.were systematically analyzed by reviewing relevant literature from China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)over the past 20 years.[Results]The germplasm of Desmodium Desv.has abundant biodiversity and good potential of feeding.Desmodium Desv.plants have strong adaptability to the environment,wide applications,and high nutritional value.They are a legume forage with great potential for development and utilization,and are suitable as a new type of feed for animal husbandry.[Conclusions]The introduction and domestication of Desmodium Desv.should be strengthened,germplasm of Desmodium Desv.with high-quality should be selected,more compre-hensive value of feeding should be mined to scientifically and reasonably utilize this kind of feeding to achieve its widespread application and sustainable development in modern animal husbandry.
