Abstract :This research was conducted to determine the effect of different cutting times on plant nutrient composition at artificial pasture in randomized block design with three replications in 2012-2013. Eight different cutting time were used in the experiment. Dry matter, protein, ash, acid detergent fiber insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ADF);, neutral detergent fiber insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NDF); and cellulose analysis were made. According to different cutting times; the results ranged between 16.14 to 20.46% in protein rate, 12.97-29.93% in ash content, 92.86%-95.00 in dry matter content, 28.63-33.12% in ADF, 42.84-55.76% in NDF, 21.46-28.83% in cellulose rate. As a result of this study, the composition of nutrients in forage crops showed significant differences in different cutting time and significant correlations were found between the studied parameters.
