| Species | Potential positive interactions between woodland and livestock | Risks of negative interactions between woodland and livestock |
| Ruminants | Ability to adapt to fodders and fibrous feed Improved productivity compared to overgrazing in monoculture Ability to clear undergrowth: fire fighting, undergrowth or plantation maintenance, plot clearing, tree isolation to be exploited | Trampling, soil compaction Debarking, branch consumption and buds Risk of brushes invasion due to loss of herbaceous cover |
| Pigs | Feed adaptability Organoleptic qualities of meat | Plant and soil degradation River’s pollution |
| Poultry | Promotes root development and soil fertilization Predator management Parasitism management | Wild predators Trampling and root damage |
| Bees | Productivity 4 times higher than in the plain Protection of pesticides on conventional crops Pollination (cultivation and maintenance of biodiversity) Discouraging thieves by warning “beware bees” | Risk of competition with wild pollinating species |
| Vermiculture | Soil reconstitution via manure valorization Feeding other livestock (poultry and fish) | Difficulties in concentrating enough manure |
| Aquaculture | Many natural basins and ponds to valorize | Deforestation and water degradation |
