Research and development aimed at livestock production under tree crops in Thailand are reviewed with assessing potentials for the future. There are close to 2.1 million ha of fruit tree and tree crops which at present are seldom utilized for livestock production. Likewise, vast area of forest plantation potentially available for grazing still remains untapped. According to the available data B. brizantha, B. miliiformis and B. ruziziensis are the promising grass species in coconut plantation. The evaluation of forage species under rubber and fruit tree plantations given by several authors are also presented. Additionally a preliminary study and observation on grazing under forest plantation are reviewed and discussed
