Abstract

Forage plants quality can be defined in various ways, but is often poorly understood. Although it represents a simple concept, encloses
much complexity. Forage quality is an ambiguous term whose meaning varies. Although the quality of fodderplantsconsist of a lot of
concepts (digestibility rate, rate of mineral substances, toxicsubstances, andtheperformances of animals) are shown as a simple
concept..Forage plants contain fixed energy largely in the form of complex carbohydrates, waxes,essentialoils, saponins (glycosides)etc. and
lignins, tannins, etc.Though important, forage quality often receives far less considerationthan it deserves.Generally the quality of forage or
value can be understandable from its chemical composition and digestibility rate. In this study the importance of the quality of forage plants,
factors affecting the quality and how determined the quality issues have been addressed.
