Abstract: We study extrinsic geometry of a codimension-one foliation $calF$ of a closed Finsler space $(M,F)$, in particular, of a Randers space $$. Using a unit vector field $u$ orthogonal (in the Finsler sense) to the leaves of $calF$ we define a new Riemannian metric $g$ on $M$, which for Randers case depends nicely on $$. For that $g$ we derive several geometric invariants of $calF$ (e.g. the Riemann curvature and the shape operator) in terms of $F$, then under natural assumptions on $$ which simplify derivations, we express them in terms of corresponding invariants arising from $alpha$ and $$. Using our approach (2012), we produce the integral formulae for $calF$ on $(M,F)$ and $$, which relate integrals of mean curvatures with those involving algebraic invariants obtained from the shape operator of a foliation, and the Riemann curvature in the direction $u$. They generalize the formulae by Brito, Langevin and Rosenberg, which show that total mean curvatures (of arbitrary order $k$) for codimension-one foliations on a closed $(m+1)$-dimensional manifold of constant curvature $K$ don't depend on a choice of $calF$.
