Abstract:   (5236 Views)

Determination of forage quality is one of the fundamental factors for the proper management of rangelands. In order to study the effect of phonological stages on forage quality, three species of rangeland in Yazd province including Hordeum bulbosum, Trifolium repens, and Prangos ferulacea were selected. Samples were collected in three phonological stages: vegetative growth, flowering and seed production. Plant samples were analyzed in the laboratory to determine crude protein percentage, acid detergent fiber, dry matter digestibility and metabolism energy. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan test. The results showed that the effect of phonological stages on forage quality were significant (P<0.01). The forage qualities of three species were higher in vegetative stage. So, the highest percentage of protein and energy metabolism was related to Trifolium repens, Prangos ferulaceaand Hordeum bulbosum in the vegetative stage. The amount of CP, DMD and ME were decreased when the growth stage proceeds, while ADF contents increased. Also, Trifolium repens had the highest nutritive value and Prangos ferulacea and Hordeum bulbosum were in the next positions.

Keywords: Nutrition Value, Metabolism Energy, Forage Quality, Phenology.
