Abstract :In present study, perennial ryegrass insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Lolium perenne L.); lines were developed by using the half sib family selection breeding method. The aim of this research was to determine the forage yield and quality of perennial ryegrass breeding lines. The experiment of design was a Randomized Complete Block Designwith three replications in 2009-2011. In this research, significant differences were determined among dry matter yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DMY); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(420-629 kg/da);, crude protein content insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CPC); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(9.43-12.09%);, crude protein yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CPY); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(45.07-75.21 kg/da);, acid detergent fiber insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ADF); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(37.24-40.36%);, neutral detergent fiber insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NDF); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(55.31-58.52%);, total digestible nutrient insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TDN); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(49.24-53.27%);, relative feed value insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RFV); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(92.19-98.57%);, potassium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.44-0.71%);, calcium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.42-0.61%);, magnesium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.22-0.27%); and tetany ratio insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.85-1.38);. According to results it was decided that 3, 13, 14 and 17 numbered perennial ryegrass lines were selected to test in Regional Yield Experiments
