A field experiment was conducted during the season of (2014- 2015) at Abi Garaq (10 km west of Hilla city) to study the effect of mixture forage of Egyption clover and barley on yield and chemical component . Randomized Complete Block Design(R.C.B.D)with factorial experimental and three replications was used . The experiment contained of 6 treatments of mixture forage for Egyption clover (80%,70%,60%,50%) mixture with barley ( 20%,30%,40%,50%) as well as 100% Egyption clover treatment and 100% barley. The results revealed that the treatment of 100% Egyption clover gave the best total forage yield of (66.48ton . ha-1, while 100% barley treatment gave the best higher percentage and yield of dry matter .The mixture of 80% Egyption clover with 20% barley gave the best forage yield and percentage protean, while 60% Egyption clover with 40% barley gave higher percentage and yield dry matter .
