Clover (Trifolium sp.) plants grown in cool and moist places are available in natural pastures<br />

province of Ordu (Black Sea Region, Turkey). In this study, crude protein (CP), ADF, NDF,<br />

contents, relative feed value (RFV), Ca:P and K/(Ca+Mg) ratios of T. hybridum L., T. aureum Poll.,<br />

T. arvense L., T. meneghinianum Clem, T. scabrum L. and T. angustifolium L. species collected from<br />

natural range were determined. The values of these plants harvested at flowering, are shown: CP<br />

ranged from 17.3 to 21.3%. While ADF varied between 32.5 and 40.2%, NDF ranged from 38.9<br />

to 55.9%. According to RFV of species, hay quality ranged fair to prime (98.2-157.6). Ca:P and<br />

K/(Ca+Mg) ratios were calculated as 4.03 to 5.58, 0.80 to 1.52, respectively.<br />
