Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the rangeland quality degree, grazing capacity and hay quality of rangelands at four different directions and three altitudes. The best rangeland quality degree was determined in rangelands facing the North (3.41) and at 1704 m altitude (3.84), and rangelands condition was classified as “poor”. Grazing capacity of the rangelands was determined to be 41.01 animal unit, and required rangelands area for 1 animal unit was calculated to be 2.44 hectares. The dry hay content was determined to be 18.50% crude protein, 36.4% acid detergent fiber, 52.1% neutral detergent fiber, 60.5% digestible dry matter, 2.39% dry matter intake, 113.5 relative feed value, 0.30% phosphor, 2.00% potassium, 1.63% calcium, and 0.38% magnesium. West and South directions in terms of crude protein; South direction and 1704 m altitude in terms of phosphor; South, East and West directions in terms of calcium; West direction, 1704 m and 1876 m altitudes in terms of magnesium gave the best results.
