Abstract

This research was conducted in May 2023 to determine the grass quality characteristics of some Lathyrus taxa (L. annuus, L. aphaca, L. aphaca var. aphaca, L. cassius, L. cicera, L. incorspichus var. stophollies, L. nissolia and L. vinealis) in the meadow-pasture and natural vegetation of the Southeastern Anatolia Region. In the taxa examined in the study, crude protein (HP) was 17.55-27.23%, acid detergent insoluble fiber (ADF) was 15.41-28.18%, neutral detergent insoluble fiber (NDF) was 34.27-50.80%, acid detergent insoluble protein (ADP) was 0.48-0.80%, dry substance (DM) 85.69-92.96%, digestible dry matter (DDM) 66.94-76.90%, dry matter consumption (DMI) 2.36-3.50%, relative feed value (RFW) 139.5-194.1, potassium (K) 2.27-3.18%, Calcium (Ca) 1.45-2.02%, magnesium (Mg) 0.31-0.42%, phosphorus (P) 0.36-0.52%, Ca/P 2.79-4.90 and K/(Ca+Mg) varied between 0.97-1.18. As a result of the research, in terms of CP L. vinealis, L. annuus, L. aphaca var. affinis, L. nissolia, in terms of ADF L. cicera, L. inconspicuus var. stenophyllus, in terms of NDF L. annuus and L. vinealis, in terms of DDM L. cicera and L. inconspicuus var. stenophyllus, in terms of DMI L. annuus and L. vinealis, in terms of RFW L. vinealis, L. annuus and L. inconspicuus var. stenophyllus gave the highest values.
