In this study nutrient content and In vitro digestibility of Mistletoe were determined in order to find out its potential to be used in the diets of ruminants. Mistletoe was collected by pruning shears during fruiting period from apricot (Purunus genus) and almond (Amygdalus communis L.) trees around the Bor road in Niğde. Four samples were taken for each tree species and later samples were divided in to four sub samples as whole plant, stalks, leaves and fruits to evaluate feed value. For the assessment of the feed value by In vitro gas production technique, rumen liquor and content was taken from a slaughter house nearby the laboratory. Mistletoe was incubated in 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. Crude protein, crude fat, ADF and NDF content of different parts of Mistletoe plant (whole plant, stalks, leaves and fruits) collected from apricot tree were in the ranges of 90.25 and 120.82, 80.05 and 100.13, 190.29 and 330.17, 280.85 and 500.86 g kg- 1 DM, respectively while those of Mistletoe plant collected from almond trees were 100.37and 140.67, 80.42 and 100.35, 200.45 and 360.87, 340.29 and 530.10 g kg- 1 DM respectively. In vitro organic matter digestibility (DOM), metabolizable energy (ME) and net energy lactation (NEL) values of Mistletoe collected from apricot trees were ranged between 0.60 and 0.74, 9.0 and 11.17 ME kg- 1 DM and 6.08 and 7.71 NEL kg-1 DM, respectively while those of Mistletoe collected from almond trees were ranged between 0.63 and 0.76, 9.40 and 11.26 ME kg- 1 DM and 6.39 and 7.98 NEL kg- 1 DM, respectively. There were statistically differences in the DOM, ME and NEL values of different parts of the Mistletoe. In general, the mistletoe was moderate in protein and in fibre, and high in crude fat content compared with forages and very good in ME and NEL content. In conclusion, unless its harmful effects on health and performance are shown in feeding trials, mistletoe has good potential as a feed ingredient in the diets of ruminants.

SUMMARY The present study aiming to determine the nutritional quality of oat (Avena sativa L.) IPR 126 in order to produce forage for ruminants. Four periods between harvests were used: 14, 21, 28 and 35 days, distributed in randomized blocks with four replicates for each treatment. The variables evaluated were: the concentration of dry matter (DM), neutral detergent insoluble fiber (NDF), crude potein (CP), lignin, dry matter (DM), ash, ether extract (EE) and in vitro digestibility of dry matter obtained by measurement of gas production. The profile of gas production was adjusted to the logistic bicompartimental mathematical model. The variables and the parameters of the adjusted gas production curves were analyzed as repeated measurements through the PROC MIXED of SAS (version 9.0) and the restricted maximum likelihood (REML) as the method of estimation of parameters. Regression analysis was performed for the variables: DM, CP, EE, NDF, ash, and for the parameter k2 of the bicompartimental model. DM and NDF concentrations increased linearly, CP, ash, and the estimations of the parameter k2 reduced linearly and the EE concentration showed a cubic behavior in function of the age of harvest. Lignin and other parameters of the Schofield model were not influenced by the age of harvest. The harvest interval influenced some chemical components and degradation rate of fiber carbohydrates, but do not interfere in lignin concentration. The forage with 21 days of cutting interval has the high nutritional value.

In Iran, Javan (2001) has reported the digestibility some arid rangelands plants by bovine rumen liquor. The determination of in vivo digestibility of wheat straw implies that camel apparently digested poor quality roughages more than cattle and sheep (Cianci et al., 2004). Therefore, It is required to measure the in vitro digestibility of herbages by camel rumen liquor. In province of yazd, nutritive value of 11 different plant species for camel were determined (Towhidi, 2007). The objectives of the current study were to determine 1) the chemical composition, gross energy of the most consuming plant species from rangeland of Semnan province including Seidlitzia rosmarinu, Tamarix tetragyna, Tamarix strica, Halostachys spp, Saudea fruticosa., Alhagi camelorum, Haloxylon ammondendron., Salsola arbescola, Hammada salicornica and, 2) in vitro digestibility of the plants by camel rumen liquor.

The purpose of this research was to determine the influence of Myristic acid and the source of condensed tannin on corn straw basedcomplete feed on nutrient content and in vitro digestibility. The method which was used in this experiment was randomized block design with four treatments and three replications. The treatment consisted of T0 complete feed (40% corn straw + 60% concentrate), T1 complete feed (40% corn straw + 60% concentrate + myristic acid 30 g/Kg DM), T2 complete feed (40% corn straw + 50% concentrate + calliandra leaf meal 10%/Kg DM and myristic acid 30 g/Kg DM), T3 complete feed (40% corn straw + 45% concentrate + calliandra leaf meal 15%/Kg DM and myristic acid 30 g/Kg DM), T4 (40% corn straw + 40% concentrate + calliandra leaf meal 20%/Kg DM and myristic acid 30 g/Kg DM). Based on the result, it could be concluded that calliandra leaf meal 15%/Kg DM + Myristic acid 30 g/Kg DM on the complete feed (T3) was the best treatment based on nutrient content and increase of dry matter digestibility, but not an effect of organic matter digestibility
