“…Ahmed & Talib (2008) evaluated the nutritive value of deep-stacked broiler litter in ruminant nutrition and found that the DM intake and palatability of the diet were not affected in goats and sheep. Mthiyane et al (2001) reported that the degradability of DM was greater with PL and sugarcane stem silage at 48 h fermentation than the control without silage. In effect, with cattle manure silages, Sarwar et al (2006) and Borquez et al (2009) found significant increases of feed intake of the diets, without any effect on total tract digestion.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritive value of maize stover silage diets containing pig excreta (PE), poultry litter (PL) or urea as nitrogen (N) sources, and sugarcane molasses (MOL) or bakery by-products (BBP) as energy sources. The study was designed as a 6 × 6 Latin square with six ruminal cannulated Hampshire rams (56 ± 5.7 kg body weight) in a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. The quality of silages was good because of acceptable pH (4.1), texture and odour. Gas production was higher for diets with silage containing PL than that containing PE (287 vs. 269 mL/g DM). The fermentation rate of diets with MOL was higher than with BBP (0.07 vs. 0.05/h). The in vitro degradation, feed intake and N excretion of diets that contained PL were higher than with PE silage. Feed intake for diets with silage that contained BBP and PL or PE was lower than that containing MOL. Rumen pH was increased in lambs fed diets with silage that contained urea (6.38) or PL (6.25), compared with lambs fed diets containing PE silage (6.04). Dry matter (DM) and organic matter (OM) disappearances were higher for diets with silage containing PL compared with those containing PE or urea (650 vs. 606 and 594 g/g DM; 620 vs. 574 and 594 g/g OM, respectively). The N retention and total tract digestion were similar for all treatments. It was concluded that diets with PL and MOL silage had higher nutritive values than those containing PE or urea.

“…It would therefore be recommended that a 30 45% inclusion rate is the most appropriate level of incorporation of BL in silages. Adequate levels Advances in Silage Production and Utilizationof moisture are needed in silage [13]. From 30 to 45% BL enhanced lactic acid production and pH was acceptable however, 60% of BL in silage resulted in high bufer capacity with high levels of ammonia production that caused silage pH increased.…”

The conventional silage uses crops such as corn, sorghum or other forages for this speciic objective. The nonconventional silages use by-products, co-products and other materials obtained during the harvest or during the processing in the industry of sugarcane, juice extraction of citrus, pineapple, cassava, pumpkin and others. These products are available in high amounts during a short period of time. These by-products can be ensiled to maintain their nutritive value during longer period in the year and then used as feed for animals. These by-products have adequate characteristics for ensiling, i.e., moisture content and fermentable carbohydrates. Forages reduce their crude protein CP) concentration in a period of the year dry season or in winter), which may limit animal production. Most by-products used for silage have low CP concentration some additives may help increase the nutritive value of these silages. These byproducts sugarcane, juice extraction of citrus, pineapple, cassava, pumpkin and others) can be mixed and ensiled with other by-products as poultry excreta or forage rich in protein to obtain silage with greater CP concentration. The research shows the feasibility of obtaining good quality silages from sugarcane tops, by-products of citrus, cassava and pumpkin the particularities of each are discussed in detail in this chapter.

“…Sugarcane tops can be utilized as livestock feed during this stressful period as they are highly palatable and rich in energy in the form of water-soluble carbohydrates. However, they are also deficient in and require supplementation with proteins and minerals (Abate et al ., 1992; Mthiyane et al ., 2001). Unfortunately dietary supplements formulated with grains and imported animal and plant-based conventional protein sources such as soyabean meal are too expensive and unaffordable by most smallholder farmers.…”

“…Broiler litter is one of the most extensively used and intensively investigated cheap alternative protein (15% – 35% CP) and mineral rich supplementary feedstuffs for cattle and other livestock in Southern Africa (Mavimbela and van Ryssen, 2001; Mthiyane et al ., 2001; Masaka et al ., 2015). The utilisation of broiler litter is, however, limited by the presence of human pathogens (Chen and Jiang, 2014), pesticides and drug residues (Belewu, 1997) and heavy metals (Abdel-Mohsein and Mahmoud, 2015) which might pose health hazards to livestock and human consumers.…”
