Abstract
This study augmented the evaluation of herbs as fodder source for ruminants. Eleven herbs species viz., Denothera vosea, Athyrium acrotiochoides, Chenopodium album, Polygonum amplexicaule, Atrimisia maritima, Oriosma lispidum, Cynoglossum lanceolatum, Plantago ovata, Hackalia macrophyla, Lespedeza spp., Urtica dioka 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 average values for DM, OM, ash, CP, NDF, ADF, hemi-cellulose and lignin were 27.5±1.66
