“…No significant differences imply that the SOFPM did not introduce poison in the diets and the anti-nutritional levels were tolerable to the birds. Oluremi et al (2007) had reported the presence of anti-nutritional factors in sweet orange peels but Agu et al (2010) observed a similarity in growth performance of finisher broiler chickens when even 20% of maize was replaced by SOPM in their diets. This did not however shade light on effect of SOMP on internal organs, but similarity among treatment groups suggests that 20% SOPM in diets of broiler chickens was a safe level.…”

| The experiment was conducted to determine the effect of water soaking of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) fruit peels on haematology, carcass yield, internal organs and gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) of finisher broiler chickens. Four lots of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) fruit peels were soaked in water for 0, 12, 24 and 36 hours, sun dried and milled to produce sweet orange fruit peel meal (SOFPM). Four SOFPM based diets namely D0, D12, D24, and D36 were compounded by replacing 20% of dietary maize in the control diet (DN) with the SOFPMs. One hundred and fifty (150) brooded Anak 2000 broiler chickens with an average initial weight of 1051.00 + 0.92g were grouped into five, with each group replicated three times and a replicate contained 10 birds in completely randomized design and assigned to these diets in a feeding trial which lasted for 21 days. Results of analysis of variance on mean haematological indices, fasted body weights, carcass yield and internal organs were not significantly different (p>0.05) among the treatment groups. With the exception of large intestine length, which was significantly decreased (p<0.05) at D0, all other GIT morphometrical indices were not significantly different (p>0.05) among the treatment groups. It was concluded that 20% replacement of maize by SOFPM was safe for finishing broiler chickens.

“…Agro-industrial by-products such as mango fruit by-products (Guzmán et al, 2012;Orayaga et al, 2015b) and sweet orange fruit peels (Oluremi et al, 2007;Agu et al, 2010) have been identified as feed resources in animal production that can ameliorate the high cost of animal production, especially in mongastic animals.…”

“…The peels are found mostly in large quantities indiscriminately after each day's sales on streets, drainage system and refuse dumps causing environmental pollution. These sweet orange fruit peels according to [7] contain some similarities with maize in the quantitative values of protein and metabolisable energy. Its crude protein and metabolisable energy contents are 10.73% CP and 3988.7 kcal ME/kg respectively, as against 9.00% CP and 3432 kcal ME/kg for maize.…”

A four week feeding trial was conducted using 180 5-week old Arbor acre broiler chickens to determine the effect of feeding various duration of water soaked sweet orange peels on haematology and serum biochemical indices with a view to determining the potential of soaked sweet orange peels as an alternative to maize. Six broiler finisher diets were formulated and fed to the chickens in groups of 30 birds per diet, subdivided into 3 replicates of 10 chickens each in a completely randomized design. Diet 1 (control) was maize-based, diets 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, sweet orange peels replaced maize at various duration of water soaked 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours respectively, and incorporated at 30% inclusion. White blood cell, red blood cell and mean corpuscular volume was depressed (p<0.05) by various duration of water soaked sweet orange peels, packed cell volume did not indicate anaemic tendency among treatment and white blood cell count did not indicate infection due to treatments. Serum protein was adequate and liver and kidney function were not compromised. Health status and nutrient absorption of birds were not compromised by replacing maize with various duration of water soaked sweet orange peels in broiler chickens.

“…Broiler birds are probably the most universal and important of all poultry as producers of meat for human consumption. It has been reported that sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) peel meal obtained from ground sun dried peels can replace dietary maize in broiler chicken diet at 20% level without any adverse effect on performance (Agu, 2006, Grant, 2007Baird et al, 1974). Feed processing helps to enhance the feeding quality of agro-industrial by-products by reducing the level of toxicants where present, improving their nutrient value, acceptability of feed, and utilization by animals.…”

four weeks old broiler chickens of Anak 2000 breed from Imo State Polytechnic Research farm were used to investigate the effect of sweet orange peel meal in broiler rations. The birds were fed on 0%, 2.50%, 5.00%, 7.50% and 10.00% dietary inclusion of sweet orange peel meal as replacement for wheat offals in a 28 day feeding trial. Significant difference between dietary levels of sweet orange peel meal and wheat offals were observed on feed efficiency and weight gain (p<0.05). Increase in dietary levels of sweet orange peel meal reduced feed transit time in gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) (p<0.05) while supplementary wheat offal had the opposite effect (p<0.05). It was concluded that broiler chickens could tolerate up to 7.50% dietary levels of sweet orange peel meal without wheat offal added to such a diet, performance was comparable to that of birds fed a standard diet with money saved in the process.
