The present study was carried out to evaluate the nutritional value and elemental analysis of some fodder
plant species. Proximate composition of proteins, crude fibers, fats and oils, moisture, ash contents and
carbohydrates and elemental composition of aerial parts have been determined by using Atomic Absorption
Spectrophotometer (AAS). A total of 16 elements; Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Rb, K, Ca, Fe, Mn, Ti, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cl
have been measured. Their concentrations were found to vary in different samples.
