National level e-symposium on “Agroforestry system for augmenting livestock
productivity and empowering resource poor rural farmers”

Conclusion

The Gliricidia sepium leaves can be prepared as fodder block and stored for six months without any
deleterious effect on its quality and it is highly palatable. The block making is a technology to preserve the
tree leaves with easy transportation, storage and during the scarcity period for feeding ruminants.

Introduction
Agroforestry belongs to the multiple cropping paradigm using plant interactions to increase or at least to
maintain crop production with lower inputs and to enhance ecological services (Gaba et al. 2015). It is mostly
based on full intercropping or relay cropping depending on if plants are grown together during their whole-
growing cycle or a part of it, respectively (Parrotta et al. 2015). Amla is one of the fruit tree that is integrated
in agroforestry models. Fruits can be utilized to prepare value added fruit products, since many fruits may
be wasted during season. Amla (Phyllanthus emblica L) is one of the most important medicinal plants in
Indian traditional systems of medicine (Ayurveda, Unani and Siddha) (Mishra et al., 2011). Amla is also
reported to possess potent free radical scavenging, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic, immune
modulatory activities, which are efficacious in the prevention and treatment of various diseases like cancer,
atherosclerosis, diabetes, liver and heart diseases (Deka et al., 2001). Several amla based products i.e.,
amla candy, ready to serve beverages, spray dried amla powder (Mishra et al., 2013), ready to eat
amla chutney etc., have been developed. Therefore, the present study was under taken to standarize the
