Abstract
Informat nutritive values during various phonological stages is of importance for the rangelands management. This information helpsrangeland managers to choose proper grazing times to achieve higher animal performancewith no det
phenological stages and vegetation types on reserve carbohydrates and forage quality
indicators were investigated during 2009 and 2010 in Sabzkooh rangelands at Charmahalprovince, Iran. Plant samples were collected based on a Completely Randomized Design
(CRD) at 3 phonological stages (seedling, vegetative and flowering) with 5 replications. The
species included grasses (Secale montanum and Festuca ovina), forbs (Lotus corniculatus and
Sanguisorba minor) and shrubs (Kochia prosterata and Salsola rigida
samples were harvested and oven-dried at 80
o
C for 24 hours; then, they were analyzed fordetermining the amounts of Water Soluble Carbohydrates (WSC), Crude Protein (CP), Aci
