dc.description.abstractA study was conducted to assess the carrying capacity of Silvipasture in the dry land tract of Tamil Nadu for small ruminant production. One acre of land was earmarked for establishment of the silvipasture. Gliricdia sps. and Leucaena leucocephala were selected for tree component and the understorey, was utilized to establish pasture with Cenchrus ciliaris, Stylo hamata and Stylo scabraas as grass with seed ratio of 3:1:1. The biomass yield was recorded for three years at an interval of two months. The total biomass yield from the tree component, grass and legume component were 35-37 MT per annum. The biomass yield of the tree component, Gliricidia sps was higher than Leucaena leucocephala. The biomass yield from the grass and leguminous component by cut and carry system was able to supply fodder to meet nutrient requirements (BIS) of sheep and goat. It was concluded that as per the requirements for sheep and goats, by establishing this type of Silvipasture, the famers could maintain around 16-18 sheep or 12-14 goats in an economic way to enhance the revenue from the unit of land.en_US
