“…Previous studies reported that the leaves of naturally grown shrub and tree species (mulberry and poplar) that were harvested in the early developmental stages of trees had high forage value, and the nutritive values varied with genotype, species, cultivar, ecological conditions and maturation stage (Khalil et al, 1986;Ghazanfar et al, 2011;Parlak et al, 2011;Temel and Tan, 2011;Oktay and Temel, 2015). The main purpose of the present study was to determine whether species planted for fruit or wood production could be a potential source of forage for animal nutrition during the autumn when herbaceous species are not present.…”

“…In particular, shrubs and trees growing naturally in arid and semi-arid ecosystems have been noted as sources of important nutrients for livestock feeding and many studies have been conducted to determine their nutritive value (Ghazanfar et al, 2011;Parlak et al, 2011;Temel and Tan, 2011;Gulumser and Acar, 2012;Kokten et al, 2012;Oktay and Temel, 2015). Previous studies showed that the leaves of fruit and poplar trees had high nutritional value and could be used for animal feeding (Nahand et al, 2011).…”

“…The results from these studies indicated that the nutrient contents of leaves from shrubs and trees differ with season, phenological phase, and species. However, shrub and tree species are feed materials with high nutritional, energy, vitamin and mineral contents for ruminants owing to the fact that loss of quality is slower compared with herbaceous species (Ghazanfar et al, 2011;Kokten et al, 2012;Tan and Temel, 2012). Despite the abovementioned benefits, the numbers of studies demonstrating the utilization of fruit and poplar tree leaves for animal feeding are limited.…”

animal production IntroductıonMeadow range areas and cultivated forage crops are the most important sources of roughage for livestock (Temel and Sahin, 2011). However, the lack of cultivated forage crops in agricultural fields in combination with the early and excessive grazing of meadow ranges over long time periods has resulted in a decrease in the quantity and quality of hay. Furthermore, when herbaceous plants are dormant from autumn to spring, they cannot produce sufficient hay. The hay harvested from pasture during spring and summer is also used to feed animals during winter. As a result, livestock constantly face inadequate nutrition. Therefore, the productivity of ruminant livestock is restricted by poor nutrition because of the lack of quality roughage in the autumn and summer period in Igdir and most regions of Turkey (Temel and Sahin, 2011;Oktay and Temel, 2015 The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential fodder value of leaves of plum, apple, poplar, mulberry, peach and apricot trees. For this purpose, samples were collected by hand in autumn 2012 and 2013 when 50% of the leaves had dropped and 90% of the leaves had turned yellow. The crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL), dry matter digestibility (DMD), digestible energy (DE), metabolizable energy (ME) and relative feed value (RFV) contents were determined. The CP, DMD, DE, ME and RFV contents of peach leaves were significantly (P≤0.01) higher than those of the other trees, but they had lower NDF, ADF and ADL ratios. The lowest CP, DMD, DE, ME, RFV contents and the highest NDF, ADF, ADL values were measured in poplar leaves. According to these results, the tree leaves had a higher nutritional value than many forage grass species and hay fodder commonly used for livestock feeding. Consequently, orchard and poplar leaves that drop in autumn can be used as an alternative fodder source for livestock feeding.

ÖZET: Bu araştırma, Iğdır ekolojik koşullarında yetişen Sakız Geveni (Astragallus gummifer L.) çalısının yıllık besin içeriği değişimini belirlemek için yürütülmüştür. Bu amaçla bitkinin dormant olmadığı Nisan ile Ekim ayları arasında olmak üzere 7 (yedi) ay süresince sap + yaprak örnekleri alınmış ve yem örneklerinin HP (ham protein), NDF (neutral detergent fibre), ADF (acid detergent fibre), ADL (acid detergent lignin), KMS (kuru madde sindirilebilirliği), SE (sindirilebilir enerji), ME (metabolik enerji), KMT (kuru madde sindirilebilirliği), NYD (nispi yem değeri) ve KOO (kuru ot oranı) içerikleri aylar göre değişimleri saptanmıştır. Yapılan çalışmada bitkide gelişme döneminin ilerlemesiyle birlikte HP, KMS, SE, ME, KMT, NYD oranları azalmış, NDF, ADF ve ADL miktarları ise artmıştır. Bu sonuçlara göre HP, KMS, SE, ME, KMT, NYD oranları en yüksek gelişme döneminin başlangıcı olan Nisan ayında (sırasıyla % 16. ABSTARCT: This research was conducted to determine the changes of annual nutritional content gum tragacanth (Astragallus gummifer L.) grown in Igdir ecological conditions. In this research, Stem + leaf samples were collected during 7 (seven) month between April and October that plant isn't dormant in 2015 year. Changes as months of CP (Crude protein), NDF (Neutral Detergent Fiber), ADF (Acid Detergent Fiber) ADL (Acid Detergent Lignin), DMD (Dry matter digestibility), DE (Digestible energy), ME (Metabolizable energy), DMI (Dry matter intake), RFV (Relative feed value) and DM (Dry matter ratio) contents of gum tragacanth were determined. According to this results, the highest CP, DMD, DE, ME, DMI and RFV rates in April (16.04%, 58.63%, 2.77 Mcal g -1
