This study was carried out to determine the correlationship between the various constituents of the foddertree' leaves. Twenty two species of fodder tree leaves were sampled from different parts of the countrywere collected in November to December and analyzed in the laboratory for ten different constituents allon dry matter basis, without considering the species effect, the correlation analysis for these constituentswere carried out. The mean chemical composition of 22 different fodder tree species leaves were analyzedfor dry matter (DM) 41.04%, organic matter (OM) 91.33%, crude protein (CP) 15.32%, neutral detergentfibre (NDF) 54.62%, acid detergent fibre (ADF) 46.63%, cell soluble content (CSC) 45.65%, cell wallcontent (CWC) 22.53%, hemicellulose (HCL) 8.17%, acid detergent lignin (ADL) 23.92% and total ash(TASh) 8.81%.The correlation between DM & OM (0.22944), OM & NDF (0.2399), OM & ADF (0.23221), OM & CWC(0.27521), CP & HCL (0.23302), CP & TASH   (-0.26270), NDF & TASH (-0.24741), ADF & TASH (-0.24383), and  CWC & TASH  (-0.2871) are significant  (P<0.05) while  correlation  among  OM & CP(0.3139), OM & TASH (-0.973), NDF & ADF (0.8587), NDF & CSC (-0.9751), NDF & CWC (0.2996},NDF & ADL (0.7951), ADF & CSC (-0.8380), ADF & CWC (0.4108), ADF & HCL (-0.5464), ADF&ADL (0.8606), CSC & CWC (-0.2914), CSC & ADL (-0.7759), CWC & HCL (-0.3287), and HCL & ADL (-0.4112) were highly significant (P<0.01) correlated.
