Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the fodder value potential of linden tree [Tilia rubra subsp. caucasica (Rupr.) V. Engl.] leaves grown in the coastal part of the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey. For this purpose, leaf samples were taken from 35 different linden trees in the full flowering period of the plant at the beginning of July. Analysis of crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), total phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) analysis were performed in leaf samples,  Ca/P and K/(Ca+Mg)  ratios of the leaf were obtained. According to the research result, CP, ADF, NDF, P, K, Ca and Mg contents of linden leaves varied between respectively; 13.52-23.82%, 21.25-35.73%, 31.58-57.03%, 0.23-0.80%, 0.04-1.75%, 1.80-2.97% ve 0.21-0.71%. In the study, the K/(Ca+Mg) ratio of linden leaf was lower than 2.2, while the Ca/P ratio was found to be risky for animal health. If linden tree leaves, which are rich in crude protein, are used as roughage, P and K sources should be added to feed rations.
