Abstract: In the present study, the energy value, digestible energy, metabolizable energy and nutritional components of 8 forage varieties, including Roegneria hirsuta, Elymus nutans, Roegneria turczaninovii, Elymus breviaristatus, Elymus canadensis, Poa pratensis, Puccinellia tenuiflora, Bromus inermis（Jinong） cultivated in Qinghai were analyzed. The results showed that the all of the 8 forage varieties had higher content of crude protein, crude fat, and nitrogen-free extract and had low content of crude fiber.No obvious differences were observed in energy value between the 8 forage varieties. The digestibility of Roegneria hirsute,Elymus nutans, Roegneria turczaninovii and Elymus breviaristatus was higher than the other 4 varieties. The highest and lowest digestible energy was observed in Elymus breviaristatus [（8.91 ±0.20）MJ/kg] and Roegneria hirsuta [（6.37 ±0.20）MJ/kg],respectively. The combined data showed that the features of nutrient components structure and energy value of the 8 forage varieties in accordance with the actual production.
