The goal of the present study was to compare the leaves of someshrubs in terms of chemical composition and nutritive value at theperiod of baby fruit. For this purpose, leaves of Quercus coccifera L(QC), Quercus branti Lindl (QB), Quercus vulcanica Boiss and Heldr.Ex Kotschy (QV), Phillyrea latifolia (L.) Salibs (PL), Styrax officinalisL (SO), Arbutus andrachne L (AA) and Olea europaea L (OE) plantswere collected at the period of baby fruit. In this research, dry matter(DM), crude protein (CP), crude ash (CA), organic matter (OM),neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), aciddetergent lignin (ADL), non-fiber carbohydrates (NFC), crude fat (CF)and condensed tannins (CT) was measured to determine the chemicalcompositions of leaves (P<0.01). In addition, dry matter intake (DMI),dry matter digestibility (DMD), relative feed value (RFV) andmetabolic energy (MEADF) were calculated to evaluate the nutritivevalue of leaves. All investigated parameters were statisticallydifferent except for DM content of leaves. Results of current studyshowed that the SO had better nutritive value and chemical contentsfor livestock especially goats. It can be concluded that the CT contentof SO can be examined at the flowering and/or earlier period in furtherstudies.
