Changes in Feed Quality in Rangeland Sites Grazing by Different Livestock Species

Abstract

In this study conducted in the Umudum neighborhood of Erzurum province in 2023, three different rangeland sites (cattle, cattle + sheep, and sheep) were examined. The study investigated the existing feed quantity, crude protein, NDF, ADF ratios, and NYD values. It was observed that the rangeland site with sheep grazing had lower feed quantity, crude protein ratio, and NYD value compared to the sites with cattle and cattle + sheep grazing, while it had higher NDF and ADF ratios.
