Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to determine the intracellular and extracellular substances of the feed tissue responsible for the quality of the herb and their chemical structure. In addition, the objective of this course is to determine how the objective value of the nutritional value, which is a subjective concept, which has emerged under the influence of plant-animal-environment factors. Finally, the herbal, environmental and cultural applications that affect the quality of the herb and the feed value will be examined in detail.
