摘要：
The investigation was carried out to explore the proximate composition of wild plants of Soone valley, Pakistan. Plants were randomly collected from different sites of Soone Valley, Pakistan. Wild plants which showed the high-quality composition of proximate analysis have potential to cultivate as forage to improve the food qualities for ruminants. Ruminants of Soone valley largely depend on wild plants to overcome feed deficiencies and to perk up health problems. Proximate composition include ash, moisture content, dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber, ether extract, net energy and nitrogen free extractable substance (NFES). Propsopis juliflora 7.24% showed the highest ash content and highest moisture content was observed in Oenothera deltoids 7.24%. Crude proteins showed significant (P < 0.05) variations in all plant species. All the proximate contents showed significant (P < 0.05) variations in all plant species.
