“…Blood urea nitrogen was remained unaffected in fattening male calves fed DCP-based diets (Ahooei et al 2011). Our findings were in accordance with Broderick et al (2002), who reported that blood glucose remained unaltered in cows fed DCP-based diets.…”

“…Taniguchi et al (1999) also reported that feed intake remained unaltered by feeding diets containing various levels of DCP. This might be due to the fact that DCP has same energy values as grains when fed in diets of ruminants due to which no results on nutrient intake were observed (Ahooei et al 2011). On the other hand, Highfill et al (1987) stated that nutrient intake was higher in cows fed total mixed ration (TMR) having DCP than those fed TMR having soya hulls and corn gluten feed.…”

The study was conducted to evaluate the influence of partial replacement of concentrate with dried citrus pulp (DCP) on nutrient intake, digestibility, nitrogen metabolism, growth rate and economic efficiency in lambs. Citrus pulp was sun dried and chemical evaluation was conducted. Forty entire male Lohi lambs approximately 4-5 months of age were used in a randomized complete block design. On the basis of body weight, lambs were divided into 4 groups, 10 lambs in each group. The animals were fed 30% forages and 70% concentrate. The concentrate contained DCP10%, DCP20%, DCP30% or DCP40%. The experiment continued up to 120 days. A non-significant effect was observed on nutrient intake and digestibility by various levels of DCP. Nitrogen balance was also remained unaffected among the treatments. A non-significant effect was observed on average daily gain in lambs fed varying levels of DCP. A decreasing trend in price per kg of feed was observed as the level of DCP increased in the diet. These results indicated that DCP can be used successfully up to 40% of the concentrate in the diet of lambs without any adverse effect on feed intake and growth performance. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Various inclusion levels of dried citrus pulp had nonsignificant effect on blood metabolites in buffalo calves. Our results are in agreement with Ahooei et al (2011) who reported non-significant effect of dried citrus pulp on blood urea nitrogen in male fattening calves. Similarly, Belibasakis and Tsirgogianni (1996) also found that blood urea nitrogen remained unaltered in dairy cows fed dried citrus pulp based diets.…”

The study was planned to investigate the effects of dried citrus pulp on nutrient intake, digestibility, nitrogen balance, blood metabolites, growth performance and economics in Nilli Ravi buffalo calves. Twenty buffalo male calves of 18 to 24 months of age having 200 to 250 kg body weight were used in a randomized complete block design. Four iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous diets containing 5, 10, 15 and 20% dried citrus pulp were formulated. The experiment lasted for adaptation period while last five days of each month served as collection period. Feed was offered ad libitum twice a day. Animals were weighed fortnightly before morning feeding to assess their growth performance. The results showed non-significant effects of various levels of dried citrus pulp on nutrient intake and digestibility. Nitrogen metabolism was also remained unaltered among the treatments. There were non-significant differences in weight gain and blood metabolites in calves fed various levels of dried citrus pulp. However, a linear reduction in price per kg diet was observed as the level of dried citrus pulp was increased from 5 to 20% in the diet. The study showed that dried citrus pulp can be used successfully up to 20% in the diet of calves without any ill effect on feed intake, digestibility and growth performance.

“…However, the body weight gain (kg/period), WG, average weight gain (g/h/day), ADG, digestible organic matter fermented in the rumen (g), DOMFR, feed conversion ratio, and FCR were significantly higher (P ≤ 0.05) for diet 1 than for other diets, including citrus by-products. This could be because no significant impacts on nutrient intake were found when Citrus byproduct were fed to ruminants, as they had the same energy values as grains (Ahooei et al, 2011). Similar results were reported by other researchers (Hadjipanayiotou and Louka, 976;Mart'nez-Pascual and Fernandez-Carmona, 1980b).…”

Multi-Nutrient concentrate feed blocks were using as a procedure of replacing corn grains with citrus pulp. Blocks were prepared with three replacement percentages: 0, 25 and 50% for Diet 1: served as control, Diet 2, and Diet 3, respectively. Diets were isocaloric and isonitrogenous with the same roughage concentrate ratio of 30% sugar cane bagasse: 70% concentrate feed blocks. Fifteen Barki male lambs 15.67± 0.30 kg of live body weight (LBW) and 4 months old were divided into three similar groups in a growth trial for 90 days. The results showed that the corn grains revealed a high content of TDN (86.57%), compare with citrus by-product (73.56%). Dry matter consumed was not significantly affected by replacing corn grains with citrus by-product in concentrate feed blocks, almost all digestion coefficients and blood biochemical criteria followed the same pattern, but crude fiber (CF) digestibility were significantly improved by increase the replacement ratio being (65.18, 67.87 and 68.78) for diet1, diet2 and diet3 respectively. Lambs in diet 1 showed higher (P ≤ 0.05) final body weight FBW, and microbial nitrogen yield (g) than those fed diet 3. Total body gain and average daily gain followed similar trend. Rumen NH3-N decreased significantly with the concentrations for diets 1, 2, and 3 being 18.87, 18.02, and 17.83 mg/100 mL, respectively. Overall, results suggest that partial replacement of corn grains with citrus by-products, up to 25% in the multi-nutrient blocks, results nearly similar sheep growth performance with no bad effect on digestion coefficients and blood biochemical.
