Extract

Tree leaves or shrub leaves are used in small ruminant diets in Turkey during the critical period of the year when quality and quantity pasture herbages is limited. The information about the leaves as a foodstuff for ruminant is limited. Therefore the aim of this study was to determine chemical composition, organic matter digestibility and metabolizable energy (ME) content of leaves of some threes and compare with wheat straw.
