The objective of this study was to evaluate feed values of common vetch lines
grown in Mid-North of Anatolia. Four common vetch lines were seeded for two
years in winter season at Tokat and Amasya locations in Turkey. The
research was designed according to randomized block design with three
replicates. Common vetch lines seeds'crude protein (CP), amino acids (AA), Acid
detergent fiber (ADF), Neutral detergent fiber (NDF), crude fat, ash and In vitro dry matter digestibility
(IVDMD) variables were determined. The data were analyzed with MSTAT
statistical program. Common vetch lines seeds' CP (19.34 - 32.88 %), ADF (8.85 -
12.48 %), NDF (31.85 - 53.34 %) and crude fat (0.24 - 3.53 %) were found to be
different.
