“…Although the quality of tomato pomace varies amongst countries based on the processing method, tomato varieties, ripening stages, etc., the nutrient content of tomato pomace in our study was compatible with those reported by Mirzaei-Aghsaghali and Maheri-Sis (2008). We agree with Hadjipanayiotou (1994), who concluded that it can be a potential protein source in animal nutrition, and we verify the findings of Elliott et al (1981) who stated that tomato pomace silage is a good source of fibre.…”

There is a debate whether supplementary feeding of game species is necessary, and what type of supplementary food is appropriate for them. In our study a new type of supplemental food for wild game species was evaluated. Fresh tomato pomace mixed with ground maize grains (20% w/w on a fresh basis) was baled. Different additive treatments were made and crude protein and crude fibre content and fermentation profile were evaluated. Consumption of tomato pomace silage by wild ungulates was also measured. Ground maize grains increased the dry matter content and crude protein : crude fibre ratio of tomato pomace. Tomato pomace mixed silage had a limited fermentation capacity with appropriate pH and fermentation acid content. The special baling technology was suitable to form well-shaped bales. In the investigated hunting preserve tomato pomace was the dominant food component in the diet of ungulate species. According to our results, tomato pomace could provide suitable quality supplementary food for large game species.

“…Ensiled tomato pomace can be a potential protein-and energy source in animal nutrition (Hadjipanayiotou 1994). It is a good source of fibre (Elliott et al 1981), and it can be used as a substitute for good quality roughages (Omer and Abdel-Magid 2015).…”

“…All wastelages had pleasant aroma, desirable yellowish green colour, soft texture and no mould growth was observed any of the wastelage, indicating optimum fermentation. A pleasing aroma and good colour were obtained when poultry litter was ensiled with forage maize (Harmon et al, 1975), citrus pulp or weeds (Hadjipanayiotou, 1982). The pH of wastelage was shown in figure 1.…”

“…Most effective and easy solution of these problems is to use the excreta for feeding animals either by drying or ensiling with poor quality forages. Poultry wastes can be rendered free of pathogens by ensiling (Hadjipanayiotou, 1982;Daniels et al,. 1983) and deep stacking (Strickler, 1977).…”

Abstract:In this experiment, wastelage was prepared by ensiling Oat forage (Avena sativa) with fresh caged layer excreta (CLE) at varying proportions to investigate the feeding values of wastelage for cattle and protect environment from poultry droppings. Oat forage was mixed with 0, 20, 40 and 60% CLE and 5% molasses in each treatment on dry matter (DM) basis and ensiled in air tight plastic container under room temperature. After 56 days, ensiled mixtures were opened. All the wastelages had desirable aroma, yellowish green color, soft texture and were mould free. The pH, DM, crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), ether extra ct (EE), ash, nitrogen free extract (NFE), in vitro organic matter digestibility and metabolizable energy were significantly influenced by levels of CLE. The percentages of DM, CP and Ash (37.34, 18.95 and 14.45, respectively) were highest in wastelage with 60% CLE (p<0.05) followed by 40 and 20% CLE. The pH, CF and NFE were decreased linearly (p<0.05) from 4.5 to 3.90, 19.91 to 17.81% and 52.34 to 44.71%, respectively as the level of CLE increased from 0 to 60%. In all treatments, the EE content was not significantly influenced by the different level of CLE. The in vitro organic matter digestibility and metabolizable energy also increased significantly (p<0.05) with the increase of CLE and maximum value (65.5% and 9.10 MJ/kg DM, respectively) was obtained in wastelage with 40% CLE, which was statistically identical with 60% CLE. The results suggest that ensiling Oat forage with up to 60% CLE improve the feeding value of wastelage.

“…Apart from being used for fattening, olive cake can also be used in the production of sheep, goat and cow milk (Hadjipanayiotou, 1999;Chiofalo et al, 2004). Research has proved (Hadjipanayiotou, 1994a) that ensilage can be safely used for prolonged storage of olive cake on its own, in combination with other by-products (molasses, poultry litter), or with conventional fodder (barley or maize grain).…”

This experiment investigated the effect of olive cake in the feed of weaned Pramenka lambs on their daily gain, carcass traits and on the chemical composition of different groups of muscles. For that purpose, 45 male lambs were divided into three groups with 15 lambs each and fed separately for 50 days. The first group (control) was fed a commercial concentrate, while the second and third (test) groups were fed a concentrate with the addition of 15% and 30% olive cake, respectively. The results showed that the high level of olive cake inclusion (30%) decreased (P < 0.01) daily gain, final weight, empty carcass weight and (P < 0.05) dressing percentage of lambs. The olive cake resulted in a significantly higher (P < 0.01) proportion of stomach and intestines in the carcass compared to the control. The content of fat, proteins and dry matter in all the analyzed groups of muscles was lowest in the carcasses of lambs fed olive cake. The results of this research suggest that the addition of 15% of olive cake to the concentrate had no significant negative effect on daily gain, carcass weight and dressing percentage of lambs.
