Summary

This study investigated the forage quality and yield of Sal Pasture, located in the Çamlıhemşin district of Rize province, within the Eastern Black Sea Region of Türkiye. The study was conducted during July of 2023 and 2024. Plant samples were collected from 12 different selected points using 50x50 cm quadrats, harvesting vegetation at ground level. Subsequent laboratory analyses determined key nutritional parameters. The average fresh yield was 721.50 kg/da, with a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) observed between the two years (748.00 kg/da in 2023 and 695.00 kg/da in 2024). Similarly, dry matter yield also showed a significant inter-annual variation (p<0.05), averaging 158.24 kg/da (164.00 kg/da in 2023 and 152.48 kg/da in 2024). The average crude protein (CP)
