The article presents the current state of mixed Сalligonum (Сalligonum microcarpum, C. caput-medusae, C. acanthopterum, C. leucocladum) pasture differences with the participation of shrubs (Ephedra strobilacea, Xylosalsola richteri, Astragalus villosissimus) in North-Western Kyzylkum. The role of Calligonum is noted as a valuable forage plant that balances the feed units of other pasture differences. The area, the nature of the soil cover, the percentage of projective cover, landscape plant species, their placement, forage yield, a list of plant species, as well as the recommended seasonality of use of the studied pasture varieties were determined. In this case, pasture varieties are recommended to be used as year-round pastures.
