Abstract
The Intent of this experiment was to figure out the nutritive value of fodder tree leaves of Chagharzai vlley in Bunair district, North Western Frontier Province (NWFP), Pakistan. Leaves of 12 fodder trees (Grewia oppsitifolia, Morus alba, Betula celtis, Celtus australis, Diospyros lotus, Aesculus indica, Celtis caucasica, Robinia pseudoacacia, Olea ferruginea, Melia azedarach, Ailanthus chinensis and Quercus incana) were selected and analyzed for dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), ash, crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), hemi-cellulose and lignin contents. The mean percentage values for DM, OM, ash, CP, NDF, ADF, hemi-cellulose and lignin were 27.65±1.64
