Influence of varying levels of dried citrus pulp on nutrient intake, growth performance and economic efficiency in lambs

Abstract: 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 a… Show more

“…The lower DM and OM digestibility of the BYP concentrate may have been partly due to its lower content in non-structural carbohydrates (35.2% vs. 45.7% for BYP and control concentrates, respectively), which is a highly digestible fraction, and its greater lignin content (1.79% vs. 2.80%). Values of diet digestibility were in the range reported by others for lambs fed high-cereal diets [12,13,26,27] and diets including olive cake [28] or dehydrated citrus pulp [29]. The greater (p = 0.024) N intake of the BYP-fed lambs was due to the greater CP content of BYP compared with the control concentrate, as there was no differences between groups in concentrate intake ( Table 3).…”

“…In vivo results show that CP digestibility decreased with increasing levels of citrus and winery by-products in ruminant diets and the relationship is stronger than that of OM digestibility [20,38]. This suggests that polyphenols from citrus and winery by-products have a stronger interaction with proteins than do the other organic components in the diet, particularly fiber fractions.…”

“…In other experiment, dried citrus peels as a concentrate replacement reduced the risk of ruminal acidosis and blood glucose concentration (Cribbs et al, 2015). Ensiled citrus pulp was successfully replaced concentrates in the diet of lambs of up to 40% without any adverse effect on feed intake and growth performance (Sharif et al, 2018).…”
