Comparison of Shrub Leaves in terms of Chemical Composition and Nutritive Value
Abstract
The goal of the present
study was to compare the leaves of some shrubs in terms of chemical composition
and nutritive value at the period of baby fruit. For this purpose, leaves of Quercus coccifera L (QC), Quercus
branti Lindl (QB), Quercus vulcanica Boiss and Heldr. Ex
Kotschy (QV), Phillyrea latifolia (L.) Salibs (PL), Styrax officinalis L
(SO), Arbutus andrachne L (AA)
and Olea europaea L (OE) plants were collected at the period
of baby fruit. In this research, dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), crude ash
(CA), organic matter (OM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber
(ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL), non-fiber carbohydrates (NFC), crude fat
(CF) and condensed tannins (CT) was measured to determine the chemical
compositions of leaves (P<0.01). In addition, dry matter intake (DMI), dry
matter digestibility (DMD), relative feed value (RFV) and metabolic energy (MEADF)
were calculated to evaluate the nutritive value of leaves. All investigated
parameters were statistically different except for DM content of leaves. Results
of current study showed that the SO had better nutritive value and chemical
contents for livestock especially goats. It can be concluded that the CT
content of SO can be examined at the
flowering and/or earlier period in further studies.
