Comparison of Relative Feed Values of Some Grasses Grown in Grassland and Meadow of Erzurum Province

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the chemical composition, dr matter digestibility (KMS), dry matter consumption (KMT) and relative feed values (NYD) of grown in the grasslannd and meadow of Erzurum province. In present study, cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata), crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum), red fescue (Festuca rubra), sheep fescue (Festuca ovina), tawny bromine (Bromus variegatus), intermediate wheatgrass (Agropyron intermedium), timothy (Phleum pratense), Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis)) were investigated as feed material. It was observed significant differences among the grasses in terms of dry matter (KM), crude ash (HK), organic matter (OM), crude protein (HP), ether extract (HY), ADF, NDF, ADL and relative feed values (RFV) (P<0.01). The dry matter digestibility, dry matter consumption and relative feed value contents of grasses were found to be 70.75-60.36%, 1.85-3.59% and 86.75-197.04, respectively. The results from the present study showed that grasses which were rich in HP, HY, HK and poor in ADF, NDF and ADL had satisfactory results in terms of KMS, KMT and NYD parameters.
