Fodder production in the hills is very vital for their economy and
also for ecological security of the total geographical area of
55,673 km2 of Himachal Pradesh, about 24,000 km2 of which
constitutes pastures, which have become highly unproductive on
account of heavy grazing. Owing to the scarcity of green fodder in
the hills, the farmers throughout the year commonly feed trees
leaves to the livestock. Some major fodder trees on which hill
farmers fall upon during the lean period are Grewia optiva,
Dendrocalamus hamiltonii, Bauhinia variegata, Celtis australis,
etc. Lot of work has been done on fodder quality parameters in
Grewia optiva, but very little information is available on Grewia
laevigata. This is very important fodder species of western
Himalayas during the early winter. It is well distributed in lower
hills of Himachal Pradesh; local people as winter fodder are using
it without knowing its nutritive value. Therefore, it was
considered highly imperative to study the morphological and fodder
quality variation in some of its leaf fodder parameters, with a
view to encourage the farmers to plant this species to enhance the
fodder productivity.
