Sažetak
This paper presents a traditional way of preparing oak (Quercus robur L.) dry leaves for animal feed in Herzegovina. The whole process from tree cutting, drying leaves and branches and storing, by ruminant feed was recorded by camera. The nutritional value of raw material was evaluated, calory content and the concentration of Ca and Mg were also analysed. The results were then compared with the data from the referentical written material.
We concluded that dry leaves could be used as roughage supplement feed for adult ruminant animals. This feed could satisfy a part of the animal needs in dry matter, fibre and calcium.
