dc.description.abstractA study was carried out for exploring the possibilities of doubling the farmers’ income by integrating different agro forestry models with small ruminant production. Three types of agro-forestry models were established viz. Silvipature (Type I), Hortipasture (Type II) and Hortisilvipasture (Type III) each model with an area of one acre of land in the farmers field. The fodder tree saplings were planted at a space rate of 8 X 8’. Understorey pasture grass was established at a seed rate of Cenchrusciliaris (2kg), Guinea grass (0.5 kg) and Stylohamata (1.5 kg) and Styloscabra (1.5 kg). The horti-plants saplings were planted at a spacing about 25’X 25’. The economics of the models under irrigated condition were studied for cost of establishment, expected income on integration with small ruminant component and additional income through horti-plants. Based on the biomass yield and anticipated integration with small ruminant component (16-20 sheep), the expected income in the three models were Rs.36,000/-Rs.32,400/- and Rs.28,800/- respectively for type I, II and III. The expected additional income from the horti plants from the fourth year was Rs. 18,000/- for type II and type III models. Hence it was observed that for effective utilization of available lands, establishment of horti-pasture and horti-silvi-pasture along with sheep production provided additional incomeen_US
