• Chemical composition, energy content and in vitro dry matter digestibility of new leaves of three dwarf bamboo species were analysed in the Tanzawa Mountains. The three dwarf bamboo species were Pleioblastus chino, Sasamorpha borealis and Sasa hayatae. These species are almost exclusive winter food resources for sika deer because of their evergreen leaves. Protein content of newleaves of the three species ranged from 11.8% to 16.4% with the greatest content in Pleioblastus chino and the least one in the Sasamorpha borealis. The content of neutral and acid detergent fibers did not show large difference among the three species, but that of acid detergent lignin was higher in Sasamorpha borealis than in Pleioblastus chino. In vitro dry matter digestibility of Sasamorpha borealis was higher than that of Sasa hayataea, but these values were under 31.0% each. The gross energy of new leaves in this experiment ranged from 17.9kJ/g to 19.4kJ/g. These results indicate that the nutritive value of the three dwarf bamboo species in the Tanzawa mountains is insufficient for sika deer as a winter food resource because of their high content of neutral detergent fiber and low digestibility.
