Determination of Seasonal Changes of Feed Value of Common Grazeable Species Akkeçili Macquis Shrublands

Abstract

This study was carried out in 2018-2020 to determine the forage values of 10 common shrub species (Quercus coccifera, Quercus infectoria, Fraxinus ornus, Fraxinus excelsior, Colutea melanocalyx, Coronilla emerus, Cotoneaster nummularia, Crataegus monogyna, Paliurus spina-christi, Juniperus oxycedrus) in the maquis area around Akkeçili village in Isparta. In the study, dry matter ratio, crude protein ratio (CP), NDF, ADF, total digestible nutrients (TSN), relative feed value (RFV) and tannin ratio were determined seasonally. According to the results of the analysis of variance, the difference between seasons and bush types was found to be statistically very significant in all the examined characteristics. Considering the results obtained on a seasonal basis, the highest CP, TDN and RFV were detected in the spring season, decreased with the progression of the seasons, and the lowest values were determined in the winter season. The lowest dry matter, ADF, NDF and tannin ratios were detected in the spring and increased as the seasons progressed. When the species were compared, the lowest dry matter ratio was found in C. melanocalyx, NDF and ADF ratio in P. Spina-christi and C. melanocalyx, condensed tannin ratio in F. excelsior, F. ornus, C. melanocalyx and C. emerus. The highest CP was obtained from C. emerus, TDN P. spina-christi and RFV C. melanocalyx species. As a result, it has been determined that the shrub, shrub-shaped tree and shrub species in the maquis have the potential to produce quality feed for ruminants in the critical period in semi-arid and arid regions.

Akkeçili Makilik Alanlarında Otlanabilen Yaygın Çalı Türlerinin Yem Değerlerindeki Mevsimsel Değişiminin Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Bu araştırma Isparta Akkeçili köyü çevresinde bulunan makilik alanda otlanabilen yaygın 10 çalı türünün (Quercus coccifera, Quercus infectoria, Fraxinus ornus, Fraxinus excelsior, Colutea melanocalyx, Coronilla emerus, Cotoneaster nummularia, Crataegus monogyna, Paliurus spina-christi, Juniperus oxycedrus) yem değerlerinin tespit edilmesi amacıyla 2018-2020 yıllarında yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada türlerin kuru madde oranı (KMO), ham protein oranı (HPO), NDF, ADF toplam sindirilebilir besin maddesi (TSBM), nispi yem değeri (NYD) ve tanen oranı mevsimsel olarak belirlenmiştir. Varyans analizi sonuçlarına göre, mevsimler ve çalı türleri arasındaki farklılık incelenen bütün özelliklerde çok önemli bulunmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlar mevsimler bazında ele alındığında, en yüksek HPO, TSBM ve NYD ilkbahar mevsiminde tespit edilmiş, mevsimlerin ilerlemesi ile beraber düşmüş, en düşük değerler ise kış mevsiminde tespit edilmiştir. En düşük KMO, ADF, NDF ve tanen oranı ilkbaharda tespit edilmiş ve mevsimler ilerledikçe yükselmiştir. Türler karşılaştırıldığında ise en düşük kuru madde oranı C. melanocalyx, NDF ve ADF oranı P. spina-christi ve C. melanocalyx, kondanse tanen oranı F. excelsior, F. ornus, C. melanocalyx ve C. emerus’ta tespit edilmiştir. En yüksek HPO C. emerus, TSBM P. spina-christi ve NYD C. melanocalyx türlerinden elde edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak maki içerisinde yer alan çalı, çalı formunu almış ağaç ve ağaççık türlerinin yarı kurak ve kurak bölgelerde kritik dönemde ruminantlar için kaliteli yem üretebilme potansiyeline sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir.
