    Hybrids created by crossing between genera Festuca and Lolium species are Festulolium.Crossing species of these genera aim to combine their positive characteristics, such as Festuca tolerance to abiotic stresses and edaphic and climatic conditions with the high quality and digestibility of Lolium perenne and Lolium multiflorum species. Forage quality of 15 different Lolioid Festulolium cultivars and six cultivars of Festuca and Lolium pure species were investigated in a moderate continental climate in Kruševac, Serbia. Plots in the trial (7,5 m2 ) were completely randomized, each in three replications. In the year of establishment, the plots were cut without weighing and taking samples. In the next two years, two cuts were taken. The first cut was done at the beginning of the heading (the first half of May) and the second in the first half of July. On dry samples, from two cuts, the content of crude protein, crude cellulose, crude fat, ash, ADF, NDF and ADL was determined by standard laboratory methods. Results were presented as two-year average values. The best dry matter quality of Festulolium cultivars was determined for cultivars AberNiche and Felopa. The highest crude protein content in the first cut was determined for AberNiche (187.1 gkg-1 ) and Felopa (169.6 gkg-1). Also, the same cultivars noted the lowest values for ADF (296.7 and 303.5 gkg-1 ) and for AberNiche was determined the lowest ADL contet (35.4 gkg-1 ) in the first cut. These cultivars are in the group of cultivars with the lowest NDF value. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that the analyzed Festulolium cultivars have a higher crude protein content compared to the cultivars of Festuca pure species, but lower than Lolium species.
