Summary
This study investigated the nutritional value and yield of Gito Plateau pasture, located in the Çamlıhemşin district of Rize province, Türkiye, during the summers of 2023 and 2024. Plant samples from 12 different locations were collected and analyzed to determine their nutrient composition. The average dry matter yield was 114.12 kg/da. Crude protein content averaged 10.46%, with minimal inter-annual variation. Fiber analysis revealed average acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) values of 37.44% and 69.10%, respectively, indicating moderate digestibility. Calculated feed quality parameters included digestible dry matter (DDM) of 59.73% and relative feed value (RFV) of 80.42. Mineral analysis showed average concentrations of phosphorus (0.24%), potassium (1.53%), cal
