In the experiment, some traits such as dry matter yield (DMY), crude protein ratio (CPR), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), crude fiber (CF), ash, calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg) ratios and correlation coefficients between these traits were examined. Dry matter yield, CPR, NDF, ADF, CF, ash, Ca, P, K, Mg ranged between 383-603 kg da -1 , 15.9-19.6%, 35.3-44.4%, 28.4-34.1%, 22.3-27.6%, 9.50-10.95%, 0.86-1.04%, %0.30-0.35, %3.54-4.05, and %0.19-0.24, respectively. Furthermore, DMY was positively correlated with CF, NDF and ADF, but negatively correlated with CPR, P, and K. Thus, it was determined that in term of dry matter yield 22 and 2490 genotypes also in terms of quality, and nutrient content 1430 genotyp had higher values than that of standart cultivars and the other genotypes.
