Badong Red Clover is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　Badong Red Clover is a high-quality perennial leguminous forage grass. Legend has it that it was introduced to the Xisha River area of Lücongpo Town in Badong by Belgian missionaries in 1875, where it is also locally known as "Yangma Grass." With tender leaves and branches, high protein content, good palatability, and ease of cultivation, it is suitable for feeding various livestock and poultry and for processing into various types of feed. It is hailed as the "King of Forage Grasses in China."

　　　　Today, "Yangma Grass" holds a pivotal position in Badong’s animal husbandry industry. The county has a 2,000-mu seed base for Badong Red Clover and an 88,000-mu forage base, along with supporting facilities such as seed and forage processing plants, making the industry’s advantages increasingly evident. Detailed records can be found in the Badong County Annals and the Enshi Prefecture Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Annals.
