Effects of trees on animals

 

  • Supply of fodder and fruits

The leaves of several trees are good fodder for animals, which are also rich in nutritive value. The fodder yield from the tree is quite substantive and annual dry matter production may vary from about 10-40 kg per tree (Singh, 19982). Fruits are also palatable to animals.

 

Trees also improve the carrying capacity of agroforestry plots, and increase productivity of grazing animals.

 

  • Provide shade and shelter

Trees provide shade to grazing animals during hot and dry sunny days and shelter during cold and snow.
