Abstract: This paper reports on an analysis and evaluation of the nutritional components of Stellera chamaejasme using standard methods. The results showed that dry matter, ash content, tannins, crude protein, ether extract, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber and lignin was (89.87±0.30)%, (5.59±0.62)%, (0.0508±0.0037)%, (15.00±1.46)%, (3.47±0.20)%, (39.11±0.77)%, (28.7±0.76)% and (6.87±0.26)% respectively. In addition, the types and amounts of amino acids and minerals were bountiful. These results show that the nutrition components of S. chamaejasme are almost equivalent to alfalfa. S. chamaejasme thus has great potential to be bred as forage if it can be detoxicated.
