“…The recycling of food processing by-products in animal feeding is an old practice that has been used for centuries, long before the promotion of the 3R principles (reduce-reuse-recycle) to increase the sustainability of the production systems. However, only during the last decades, the research has been focusing on the valorization of agro-industrial wastes as replacers of traditional feedstuffs [1] in order to reduce the environmental impact of livestock productions, especially for ruminants [2]. Including the by-products originating from the agro-industries in animal diets may also enrich their products with biologically active compounds, thus improving the nutritive value and the quality of meat and milk [3,4].…”

The hazelnut skin is waste biomass rich in bioactive compounds that may affect lipid rumen metabolism, ruminant performance, and products’ quality. Therefore, we investigated the effect of dietary hazelnut skin on milk production and composition and on rumen fatty acids in ewes. During 28 days, 20 Comisana lactating ewes received alfalfa hay ad libitum plus 800 g/head/day of pelleted concentrate containing 36% dried beet pulp (CTRL group; n = 10) or 36% hazelnut skin (HS group; n = 10). The protein percentage was lower in HS milk. Milk fatty acids (FA) partially reflected those of rumen content. Total saturated FA (SFA), odd and branched-chain FA, and n-3 polyunsaturated FA (PUFA) were greater in CTRL milk. Total monounsaturated FA (MUFA) and 18:1 trans were greater in HS milk; moreover, HS milk showed a double percentage of oleic acid than the CTRL group. Individual SFA were greater in CTRL milk except for 18:0. Differing from the rumen content, total PUFA, n-6 PUFA, and 18:2 n-6 were comparable between groups. Vaccenic and rumenic acid were greater in HS milk. To conclude, dietary HS slightly reduced milk protein percentage but improved atherogenic index and healthy FA in milk. The content of the somatic cells suggested a healthier udder in the HS group.

“…In fact, the potential market of pig is high, but on the other hand there are still problems in the continuous feed: whether it is availability, quality or cost. Thus it is necessary to use the ingredients from agriculture and food industry by-products as an alternative of pig ration [13,14]. Based on reasons above, a study was conducted to evaluate potential of agriculture and food industry by-products in Manokwari regency as nutrient source to pig and its ability to subtitute commercial ration in order to reduce ration cost.…”

This study was undertaken with the objectives to determine the feeding effect of different levels of agricultural and food waste on growth performance and cost effectiveness in pig production. This study was conducted at Manokwari regency, West Papua Province, Indonesia. The agricultural and food industry by-products used were collected from two traditional markets, five restaurants and 15 small-scale food industries. All materials used as ration were proximally analyzed to determine their nutritional values. Average daily gain (ADG), feed consumption and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were taken to determine the pigs' performance. Feed cost using local market prices was estimated in knowing the ability of agricultural waste product and food industry to substitute commercial feed. Tabulation was used to analyse the data. The result of this research indicates that the usage of agricultural and food industries' wastes as the alternative components of pigs' feed to substitute the commercial ones does not reduce the pigs' performance and production. Among three rations that use agricultural and food industry wastes, ration with the combination of 25% waste and 75% commercial feed had the best FCR. On the other hand, a mixture of 75% waste and 25% commercial feed is the most economic one, and able to reduce the cost of feeding up to 35.86%.

Fruit and vegetable processing by-products/ co-products are promising sources of valuables such as phytochemicals (carotenoids, phenolics, flavonoids), antioxidants, antimicrobials, vitamins or dietary fats that have favorable technological activities or nutritional properties and have traditionally been used as feed ingredients, and their effect on animal performance has been extensively studied [12][13][14].…”

“…Utilization of fruit and vegetable co-products, such as grape, tomato, olive or citrus pomace that are voluminously produced and have an important impact on the environment, in the animal feed holds promise in expanding the forage biomass, thereby meeting the increasing demands of feeds and fodder. Besides the fact that fruit and vegetable co-products are good sources of phenolic constituents [12,51] that act as natural antioxidants, and research emphasis has now been directed at use of these co-products in improving products' quality [14]. They evaluated pomegranate byproduct silage supplementation to growing lambs and found improved nutritional and functional qualities as indicated by the increase in essential FA, intramuscular fat, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity.…”

Climate change impact on livestock, especially due to impact on agriculture and ensuing shortage of feed resources and its quality, will have a profound effect on growth, milk production, reproduction, metabolic activity and disease occurrence. Small ruminant feeding and nutrition research should therefore be tailored in line with climate resilient agriculture and farming systems. Seasonal feed scarcity is a concurrent problem that farmers usually face besides natural calamities like drought, flood, cyclone, earthquake, etc., and it has a significant impact on small ruminant productivity. Silage making is an effective and common method of forage preservation and also a form of treatment to occasionally retrieve the underutilized pastures for better acceptability, degradability and utilization. Demand for conventional crop (principally maize) outpaces its production, which stresses upon to find suitable, or even better, alternatives for silage making. This chapter deals with silage making from legumes, mixed forages, alternate forages and by-products from fruits and vegetable sector, TMR silage, phytochemicals role in silage making and livestock production, use of inoculants/additives in silages, the concept of therapeutic silage, novel microbial approaches to solving the problem of silage aerobic deterioration during the feed-out phase, animal and human health concern of deteriorated silages and production of designer animal produce from innovative silages. climate change should be converted into an opportunity for developing and spreading climate resilient small ruminant farming and production systems. Natural pastures, crop residues and indigenous fodder trees are the main feed resources for ruminant livestock. But, due to seasonal fluctuations in the availability and quality of these feed resources, intake of energy, protein and some essential minerals by most ruminant species fall below their maintenance requirements resulting in 'under-nutrition' and low productivity in most animal production systems [1]. The leftover natural pastures, particularly the abundantly grown monsoon grasses/herbages that get matured (lignified) and dried have limited intake and characterized by low nutritive value, digestibility and utilization. In dealing with the rainy season crop harvest, and due to the difficulties in hay storage, ensiling is considered as one of the preferable preservation techniques especially with the greatest potential for proteinrich foliage.Silage making is an effective and common method of forage preservation and also a form of treatment to occasionally retrieve the underutilized pastures for better acceptability, degradability and utilization. It is universally agreed that silage making is one of the principal approaches if feed and nutrition is to be ensured round the year. In the rainy season, there is an abundance of grass, while it becomes scarce in the dry season, and therefore, silage production in the tropics has been established as a sustainable means of supplementing feed for ruminants in the ...
