“…Tomato pomace (TP) is one of the agro-industrial byproduct from processing of tomato paste industry that has been used for a long time as AF in sheep feeding. It can be utilized either as wet, dry, or ensiled forms (Harb 1986a;Denek and Can 2006). Due to high moisture contents, TP quickly spoils that limits its utilization (both duration and amount).…”

“…Due to high moisture contents, TP quickly spoils that limits its utilization (both duration and amount). Ensiling TP with other conventional dry feedstuffs (i.e., wheat straw and/or grain) provides an alternative method to utilize this AF in feeding ruminants for a longer period of time without running into spoilage issues (Denek and Can 2006). Harb (1986a) conducted two experiments on finishing Awassi lambs to study the partial or complete replacement of barley with dried TP.…”

“…However, higher inclusion levels (50% and 75%) depressed growth rates of lambs. Because the chemical composition of TP, that contains relatively high NDF and ADF contents (Denek and Can 2006), is more comparable to low quality fiber sources (i.e., wheat straw) than energy sources (i.e., barley), it is probably more appropriate to include TP in sheep diets by replacing fiber rather than energy sources. Several local leguminous trees and shrubs have been used, besides grazing, for feeding sheep in Jordan.…”

Fat-tailed sheep (FTS) is a group of breeds characterized by large (fatty) tails that it is commonly distributed in Africa, Middle East, Pakistan, and to a lesser extent in other countries. Awassi, a common FTS breed in many Mediterranean countries, is adaptive and suitable to live in harsh conditions of the arid and semiarid areas. One of the main constraints for sheep industry in those areas is the limited supply and variable quality and quantity of feedstuffs. Using several alternative feedstuffs (AF) has been a common practice to decrease production cost of Awassi sheep industry in those areas. The appropriate AF to be used is determined by several animal and feed factors. These AF includes, but not limited to, unconventional feedstuffs, agricultural byproducts, and agro-industrial byproducts. A good body of literature about the use of AF and the effects of such use on performance of Awassi sheep is available. Some of these AF have been shown to be safely used in Awassi diets with no detrimental effects on sheep performance or health and, thus, recommended to lower the production cost. Other AF has controversial effects and recommendations. This paper reviews the effects of using AF on performance of Awassi ewes and lambs. Effects on intake, nutrient digestibilities, growth rate, and carcass characteristics of lambs and on intake, nutrient digestibilities, body weight change, milk yield, and milk composition of ewes will be emphasized. Recommendations and limitations for using AF will also be briefly discussed.

“…It is usually treated as waste and discarded. Wet tomato pomace, combined with wheat, may be fed to ruminants to enhance their growth performance (Denek and Can, 2006;Abdollahzadeh, 2010). Holistic Natural Pet Food (2010) reported that tomato pomace improved the palatability of cat food.…”

“…Ziaei and Molaei (2010) concluded that tomato pomace mixed with 5 or 10% wheat straw on a fresh basis preserved and fermented well. Denek and Can (2006) used wheat straw and wheat grain as additives, and they found that tomato pomace silages fermented and preserved well with these additions, and this type of silage can be a source of good quality roughage for sheep. However, the high moisture content of tomato pomace makes its fermentation and long term storage difficult.…”

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.
