Abstract

Conventional feedstuffs are often expensive and therefore the utilization of agro-industrial by-products as feedstuffs may be economically worthwhile. Ruminant feeding systems based on locally available by-product feedstuffs (BPF) are often a practical alternative because the rumen microbial ecosystem can utilize BPF which often contain high levels of structural fiber to meet their nutrient requirements for maintenance, growth, reproduction and production. Citrus by-product includes numerous BPF which varies according to the originating crop and method of production that is an important component of ruminant feeding systems in many areas of the world. Citrus pulp is the residues of citrus juice canning industry. Oranges, tangerines, lemons or grapefruits are used for this purpose but the common raw material for juice industry elsewhere in the world is orange fruit (Citrus sinensis). Citrus pulp is the solid residue that remains after fresh fruits are squeezed into juice. Citrus Pulp is the dried residue of peel, pulp and seeds of oranges, grapefruit and other citrus fruit. The nutritional value of citrus pulp is high owing to its high content of readily fermentable carbohydrates and contains a variety of energy substrates for ruminal microbes, including both soluble carbohydrates and a readily digestible neutral detergent fiber (NDF) fraction. Therefore, when citrus BPF substituted for starchy feeds, NDF and acid detergent fiber (ADF) digestibility coefficients are increased. Dried citrus pulp is also a valuable feed for beef and growing cattle and can partly replace energy sources safely included in rations at 20-30% of the DM possible to include up to 40% dried citrus pulp in the diets of fattening cattle without altering animal health. To increase the usefulness of citrus pulp it can be preserved by drying which can been used as the main energy source for beef cattle and heifers up to 45% has been used in calf rations but should not be used at high levels for milking cows as milk production tends to decrease. In addition, the liquid obtained from pressing citrus waste with 9 to 15 percent soluble solids, of which 60 to 75 percent are sugars can be concentrated to become citrus molasses.
