Estimating nutritive values of Jasminum fruticans L. plant species in northern rangelands of Golestan provinceHosseini, Seyed Ali, Mirdeilami, Seydeh Zohreh, Ghilishli, Fatemeh, Pessarakli, Mohammad 11 January 2017 (has links)
Information on different rangeland plants’ nutritive values in different parts of plant species
and habitats are important in Rangelands Management. Effects of different plant parts (stems
and leaves) of the Jasminum fruticans L. plant species on forage quality indicators were
investigated in two regions in 2015. Plant samples were collected from Sharlogh Rangelands
and cultivated in Research and Education Center of Agricultural and Natural Resources
(RECANR) in Iran with completely randomized design with three replications in each plant
sample. The plant leaves and stems’ samples were oven-dried at 80°C for 24 hours, then
analyzed for crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), dry matter (DM) Ether Extract (EE), Crude
Ash (CA), Metabolizable Energy (ME), and mineral elements, including Calcium (Ca) and
Phosphorus (P). Results showed that the forage quality indicators in different regions were
statistically significant, except for the CA. Also, nutritive values differed significantly (P<0.01)
between different plant parts, except ME parameter. Results also indicated that J. fruticans due
to its high tissue CP content is a valuable source of forage for livestock.
