Mung bean species, whose origin is India, has been grown to use in human nutrition for many years in our country. The aim of this study, was determined to use as potential forage after genotypes, cultivated in Turkey, and varieties, obtained from foreign, harvest the residue. 18 genotypes and 4 registered mung bean varieties ((Jade-AU, Vidiyala, Partow ve Kalkinish) were used as seed material in the study. The study was carried out at the Isparta University of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture experiment fields according to completely random plot trial design in factorial arrangement with three replications in 2019. The stems, leaves and pod wall remaining after the seed harvest were used as plant parts. It was examined asit detergent fiber content (ADF), notr detergent fiber content (NDF), asit detergent lignin content (ADL), cellulose, total digestible nutrition (TDN), relative feed value (RFV) and metabolic energy (ME) parameters. According to obtained the data were varied between ADF content 24.40 - 34.11%, NDF content 37.72 - 46.92%, ADL content 6.19 - 9.93%, TDN content 57.30 - 69.84%, cellulose content 15.92 - 24.17%, RFV 142.07 - 193.46 and ME 8.61 - 9.89 MJ kg-1. Although the ADF, NDF, ADL and cellulose content in the plant parts has high values in pod husk but, the desired values in terms of feed value were determined in stem part. Leaves were had high value in point of TDN, RFV and ME. As a result, the best forage values were determined in the stem part of the plant residues, and among the mung bean genotypes and cultivars, 21 B 01 and 27 S 08 genotypes were determined. According to the results obtained, mung bean genotypes are thought to be a potential feed in animal nutrition.
