Abstract
The Wallaby Conservation Center located in Wasur National Park has some forage vegetation and some of it is consumed by Wallabies that are preserved there. This study aims to determine the dry matter, ash, fat, protein and crude fibre of forage vegetation found in Wallaby Conservation Center. The study was conducted by survey method, sample samples were taken randomly by purposive random sampling, and the samples collected were analyzed at the PAU IPB Laboratory. The results showed that there were 47 types of vegetation found, and the most dominant was found in 12 vegetation that is commonly often consumed by wallabies. The nutrient content in 12 vegetation varies, the dry matter content is between 35.42% - 83.57%- ash content 1.20% - 14.66%- fat content 0.30 - 1.90%- protein content 2.19% - 8.95%- crude fibre 9.19% - 27.19%.
