Abstract :Juncus acutus, a wetland plant, helps improve habitats for both terrestrial and aquatic creatures and spawning grounds for fish. A variety of wetland birds use between the trunks of the juncus as a shelter. They also help prevent soil erosion due to their extensive root systems. On the other hand, it can be said that it has a negative effect on the feeding of grassland animals due to the high density in wetlands. Plant materials from Juncus acutus, which is intensively located in the Kızılırmak Delta, were taken in two different periods, in April and July. The changes in the nutrient content of the plant during the spring and summer periods were investigated and the quality features were divulged. According to the research results; It was observed that the water buffaloes in the Kızılırmak Delta were not fed with Juncus acutus for feeding purposes, the forage quality was low, but the livestock grazed a little on Juncus acutus when they first went to the wetland in early spring.
