Abstract
Fourteen forage plants were culled from District Shangla for alimental analysis. These plants are conventionally grazed by the animals and withal utilized by the local community. To ascertain the nutritional aspect of these plants different techniques were habituated to investigate the different parameters like ash, moisture, fiber, protein, fats, carbohydrate, hemicellulose, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent lignin, acid detergent fibers and nitrogen free extract. The result suggests that there is not only variation among the investigated plants but also among the three phenological stages. These plants will not overcome the nutritional deficiency but also can be used for neutraceutical purposes in combating different diseases.
