ABSTRACT Seeds of Quercus ilex, Quercus dilatata and Quercus glauca were analyzed for Carbohydrate protein, Cellulose, oil moisture and ash. The results obtained were compared with those of seeds of and exotic species of Quercus incana. The result compared well and justified the exploitation of the indigenous Quercus as a poultry and live-stock feed on a cottage Industry level.
