Abstract:
This study was investigated the change occurring depending
on the vegetation period in the Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), Acid Detergent
Fiber (ADF), Acid Detergent Lignin (ADL), cellulose (CE) and hemicellulose
(HEM) of feed fiber characteristics in samples taken in five periods from
kermes oak (Quercus coccifera L.). According to the results of
the research, the values obtained in the analysis conducted on the dry
matter based the samples taken on May 15, June 15, July 15, August 15
and September 15, 2008 have been as follows: NDF values - 44.36, 56.05,
58.58, 59.83 and 60.71%; ADF values - 31.14, 39.94, 43.24, 47.49 and 48.03%;
ADL values - 14.07, 19.37, 20.02, 24.33 and 24.35%; CE values - 17.06,
20.57, 23.22, 23.16 and 23.68% and HEM values - 13.22, 16.10, 15.33, 12.67
and 12.67% (p<0.05). The period when the kermes oak is best in terms
of the quality of the feed is the month of June because the quality of
the feed increases along with the increase in the NDF value.
