Abstract: Talents are the foundation of the dairy farming industry,and play a vital role in the development of the dairy farming industry. It is of great significance to understand the personnel situation of the dairy farming industry. In this paper, the staff of 320 farms in 23 provinces （municipalities directly under the Central Government,autonomous regions） were investigated, and the age,salary, education background,importance,turnover rate and other conditions of the main types of work in the farms were counted. The results showed that the farm head,breeder,and fecal sewage disposal personnel were the most aged. The education background of the staff was mainly junior college or below,and the highest was the director with a master's degree or above. The farm head was the type of work with the highest monthly wage, and the labor cost of the farm was high. There had been a certain turnover rate for all types of work in the pastures in the past 12 months. In view of the problems existing in the pastures,this paper put forward and actively faced the trend of aging employment,strengthened the cultivation and absorption of high-quality talents,established a reasonable human resource system,and strengthened the construction of the socialized service system of animal husbandry.
