在喜马拉雅山脉的许多地方，树叶是重要的传统饲料来源，特别是在干燥的冬季。不丹不同地区的受访家庭使用1-13种不同的树种作为饲料，在各种条件下，无花果是最受欢迎和使用最广泛的树种。它适应范围广，营养品质好，适口性好，产量高，是人们的首选。在尼泊尔和印度的喜马拉雅地区，欧洲榕树也是重要的树种饲料。它的饲料质量远远优于喜马拉雅稻区的主要冬季饲料稻草。文献中记录的粗蛋白、中性洗涤纤维和酸性洗涤纤维的参数分别为9.5-17.3%、46.2-58.4%和36.1-45.8%。农民们认为，它比稻草和来自树种汉普兰、海兰花、紫荆花、紫荆花和山梨花的饲料更好。年平均单株鲜重分别为200公斤、120公斤、112公斤、108公斤、108公斤和96公斤。考虑到黑木耳目前的重要性，必须开展研究，探索其在进化生产系统中的潜力，并量化通过选择提高其营养质量和生产力的机会。
Tree leaves are important traditional fodder sources in many parts of the Himalaya, particularly during the dry winter season. Households interviewed in different regions of Bhutan used 1-13 different tree species for fodder, with Ficus auriculata standing out as the preferred and most widely used species across a range of conditions. It is preferred because of the wide range of adaptation, good nutritional qualities and palatability, and its good productivity. Ficus auriculata is also an important tree fodder in the Himalayan region of Nepal and India. Its fodder quality is far superior to paddy straw, the main winter fodder in the rice growing regions of the Himalayas. Parameters recorded in the literature for crude protein, neutral detergent fibre and acid detergent fiber are 9.5-17.3, 46.2-58.4 and 36.1-45.8%, respectively. Farmers consider it to be better than rice straw and the fodder from the tree fodder species Celtis tetrandra, Brassaiopsis hainla, Stereospermum suaveolens, Bauhinia purpurea and Litsea polyantha. Average annual fresh yield per tree was reported as 200, 120, 112, 108, 108 and 96 kg for F. auriculata, Artocarpus lakoocha, Gmelina arborea, F. cunia, Litsea monopetala and Stereospermum suaveolens, respectively. Considering the current importance of F. auriculata it is imperative to carry out research exploring its potential in evolving production systems and to quantify the opportunities of improving its nutritional quality and productivity through selection.
