Abstract

Livestock rearing and agriculture are the primary and integral parts of livelihood among the indigenous people of Nagaland, India. A significant improvement towards the socio-economic status of the people is attributed to piggery farming. This work highlights the various wild fodder plants (WFPs) found in Wokha and Zunheboto districts of Nagaland. The survey revealed a major involvement of women’s community in backyard piggery rearing. A total of 64 WFPs, belonging to 33 families were documented, identified and assessed. A major portion of WFPs was collected from forests (31%) and secondary succession fields (23%). The habits of WFPs mainly belonged to herbs (56%) and shrubs (26%). The main constituent of the plant parts used comprised of leaves (36%). Normalized Difference Vegetation Index revealed a high percentage of the land area under the class thick vegetation with 51.9% and 59.14%, and overall accuracy of 90% and 87.5% for Wokha and Zunheboto, respectively. The pervasive distribution of WFPs in a high vegetation status area offers remarkable prospect towards the sustainability and socio-economic upliftment of the indigenous people.
