Abstract
In recent years, much emphasrs has been given to the utilisation of tree fodder for livestock. The tree fodders are reported to be rich in protein and calcium but poor in fibre and phosphorus. The feed value of many of the commonly used tree leaves are yet to be critically studied. More over the information on seasonal variation in the nutrients in tree fodders is very much lacking. Data on this may be very helpful to assess the optimum season to lop tree fodder for livestock feeding. Hence in this study an attempt was made to document changes in proximate composition in some of the tree fodders commonly available in Tamil Nadu.
