Abstract
<div><p><em>This study was designed to screen the thirty eight genotypes for their quality characteristics which can be exploited as feed for ruminant animals. The genotypes which posses high content of protein, oil and but low content of gossypol content will utilized for nutrient purpose. The protein and oil content were estimated by AOAC method, whereas, the gossypol content was estimated spectrophotomertically. The protein, oil and gossypol content ranged from 15.76 to 23.49, 11.37 to 16.23 and .011 to 0.29 percent respectively. The least gossypol content was observed in the ARBH 1501 (0.11%) genotype but also has low quantity of protein (19.80%) and oil (12.93%). Genotypes </em><em>H 1478 and F2522 were best in terms of seed quality as seed of these genotypes contained more than 20% and 15% protein and oil content respectively, with less gossypol (0.19%) content. </em><em> Such genotypes can be exploited further as a good nutrient source for the ruminants.</em></p></div>
