It is considered as one the favorable cattle forage in the Eastern Tajikistan. Leaves and stables of eurotia are well grazed by sheep, goat, horse and yaks. Also it is broadly used by local people as a fuel material that led to its reduction. Reduction of this plant became a reason for reduction or migration of wild goats from Murghob region.
