Summary
This two-year study (2023–2024) aimed to evaluate the forage quality and nutritional composition of the Badara Plateau pasture, a high-altitude rangeland located in the Çamlıhemşin district of Rize Province, in northeastern Türkiye. Plant samples were systematically collected from twelve distinct sites during July of each year, coinciding with peak biomass production. The samples were analyzed for crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent protein (ADP) and key macro minerals (P, K, Ca, Mg) using Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS). In addition, several derived nutritional parameters were calculated, including digestible dry matter (DDM), dry matter intake (DMI), relative feed value (RFV), digestible energy (DE), and metabolizabl
