The development of some species of perennial grasses forage crops in double mixtures with red clover was investigated in order to establish the quality and nutritive value of forage under mountain conditions. The dry matter of the mixture of D. glomerata L. with Tr. pratense L. was found to have the highest content of NDF, ADF and cellulose. The exceeded compared to the mean value of the traits was 6.0%, 8.0% and 12.5%, respectively. The mixture of Ph. pratense L. with Tr. pratense L. was shown to have the lowest content of fiber structural components (excluding ADL). The biomass had the highest in vitro dry matter digestibility. The values of the parameter were 2.3 to 7.0% higher than those of the other mixtures in the experiment. The plant mass of the two-component mixtures with L. perenne L. and F. rubra L. contained significantly higher amount of ADL in dry matter and had the highest values of GE.
