摘要： This study compares the leaf quality of three mulberry species, Morus macroura, Morus alba, and Morus wittiorum, to determine the most suitable feed for animals. A comprehensive analysis of 37 quality indicators, including cluster analysis, principal component analysis, and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLSDA), revealed significant quality differences among the species. M. alba demonstrated the highest levels of watersoluble sugars (137.988 g/kg) and starch (86.485 g/kg), indicating its high energy efficiency. In contrast, M. wittiorum had the highest concentrations of ash (146.731 g/kg), tannic acid (161.503 g/kg), nitrogen (489.320 g/ kg), crude protein (305.823 g/kg), and amino acids (30.696 g/kg), making it particularly suitable for ruminants due to its superior nutritional supplementation. Further analyses, including Entropy Weight (EW) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), supported these findings, with M. wittiorum scoring highest in both EW (0.696) and TOPSIS (0.607) indices. The results highlight M. wittiorum as the most nutritious mulberry species for feed, while M. macroura ranked lowest. This study provides valuable insights for optimizing mulberry leaf selection for animal nutrition and feed resource management.
