Abstract :This research was conducted to determine the effect of different cutting times on plant nutrient composition at artificial pasture in randomized block design with three replications in 2012-2013. Eight different cutting time were used in the experiment. Dry matter, protein, ash, acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and cellulose analysis were made. According to different cutting times; the results ranged between 16.14 to 20.46% in protein rate, 12.97-29.93% in ash content, 92.86%-95.00 in dry matter content, 28.63-33.12% in ADF, 42.84-55.76% in NDF, 21.46-28.83% in cellulose rate. As a result of this study, the composition of nutrients in forage crops showed significant differences in different cutting time and significant correlations were found between the studied parameters.Keywords : Yem Bitkileri, Biçim Zamanı, Besin Bileşenleri
