“…The proximate composition of sweet orange peel which has been reported by Oluremi et al (2020) contained 8.15% crude protein, 13.88% crude fibre, 3.22% ether extract 7.67% ash, 67.06% nitrogen free extract and 2913.92 kcal ME/kg. While, the crude protein, crude fibre and nitrogen free extracts levels in the sweet orange peel were inferior to those of maize 8.90% CP, 2.70% CF and 83.1% NFE (Aduku,2012), the herbivorous nature of rabbits though a non-ruminant animal species showed the feed resource ability of the sweet orange peel.…”

The performance of twenty four 6-8 week old apparently healthy male and female weanling rabbits of mixed breed fed diets treated with aflatoxin, which contained 5% sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) fruit peel meal was evaluated in an 8 week feeding trial. Sweet orange peels were collected from orange sellers, sun-dried and milled. Fungal strain of Aspergillus flavus was cultured and inoculated into groundnut cake to produce aflatoxin using solid state fermentation method. Treated groundnut cake was incubated for seven days with incremental incubation temperature from 20-25 ºC The groundnut cake was autoclaved, milled and, aflatoxin extracted from 10 g sample of the milled cake with 50 ml chloroform, and its concentration quantified by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC). Treated groundnut cake was included at 0, 50, 100 and 150 gram in grower rabbit diets to produce diets T 1 , T 2 , T 3 and T 4 , having 0 ppb, 50 ppb, 100 ppb and 150 ppb aflatoxin, respectively. The rabbits were randomly allocated to four diets at the rate of six per diet, housed singly in rabbit hutches, fed and served water free choice. The result showed significant (P<0.05) negative effect of diets on final live weight, weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, water consumption, protein intake and protein efficiency ratio as the dietary aflatoxin increased from 0 ppb to 150 ppb. Also, diets had significant (P<0.05) negative effect on dressed weight and carcass length and, kidney. Total aflatoxin residue varied significantly (P<0.05) from 0 μg/kg -2.76μg/kg, 0 μg/kg -1.94μg/kg and 0 μg/kg -0.85μg/kg for liver, kidney and meat tissue, respectively as the dietary aflatoxin increased from 0 ppb to 150 ppb. Performance response of rabbits was affected negatively by aflatoxin, thereby showing the inability of 5% dietary inclusion of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) peel meal to mitigate the adverse consequences of aflatoxin intake by rabbit.

“…These were stored in synthetic bags and, milled when the experimental diets were to be compounded. The proximate composition of sweet orange peel has been reported by Oluremi et al (2020). Groundnut cake was inoculated with a spore suspension of fungal strain of Aspergillus flavus (NRRL, 1999) for aflatoxin production.…”

“…This suggests that, the processing technique adopted in this study caused a reduction in the crude fiber content of the sweet orange peel. Ether extract (EE) value of 2.89% is comparable with 2.70 % and 2.29 -2.95 % [3] for fermented sweet orange fruit peel. The EE value of this study is however lower than 3.31 % EE value of sweet orange fruit peel meal (Oluremi et al, 2008).…”

The EE value of this study is however lower than 3.31 % EE value of sweet orange fruit peel meal (Oluremi et al, 2008). Differences in EE values could be attributed to the degrading activities of microbial presence in the rumen filtrate occasioned to be of beneficial use by taking advantage of its microbial population rather than its present status as an agricultural waste (Oluremi et al, 2018).…”

“…According to these authors, whole peel or rind (pericarp) consists of flavedo, the exterior yellow peels (Epicarp) and albedo the interior white spongy peel (Mesocarp) which (Albedo) is rich in pectin. Sweet orange rind has been observed to be a source of calorie and protein comparable with maize (Oluremi et al, (2008). The whole peels combined with the pulp residue (rag) and molasses can become a feed for animals.…”

A 56-days feeding trial was conducted to determine the effect of using the biodegradation sweet orange peel meal (BSOPM) as a replacement of maize in diet on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and haematological parameters of broiler chicks. A total of 180, one-day old broilers were distributed equally into six dietary treatments with 3 replicate of 10 chicks in each in a completely randomized design. The biodegraded sweet orange peel meal (BSOPM) was used to replaced maize at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% of the control diet (T0) and five test diets (T5) (T10) (T5) (T20) and (T25) in finishers broilers diets. Laboratory analyses were carried out on the BSOMP and experimental diets to determine its proximate composition and the result revealed that, BSOPM contained metabolizable energy content of 2854.24 kcal/kg and 89.60% dry matter (DM), 7.58% crude protein (CP), 11.11 % crude fibre (CF), 2.89% ether extract (EE), 11.58% total ash (TA), 66.84% nitrogen free extract (NFE). Results also showed that average final live body weight ranged from 798.68 -1582.64g. Average daily feed intake and feed conversion ratio were significantly (p˂0.05) affected across the dietary treatments while final weight gain, average daily weight gain and mortality were not significantly (p>0.05) affected across the dietary treatments. The results of haematological and serum biochemical indices showed that, there were no significant differences (p>0.05) except for mean corpuscular volume (MCV) indicating that no physiological abnormalities resulted from the feeding of BSOPM to broiler chicken.

A twenty-eight (28) day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of the use of cattle rumen content (RC) for the biodegradation of fresh sweet orange peels (SOP) on its maize replacement value in broiler starter diet. Two hundred and sixteen (216) Marshal broiler chicks, randomly allocated to six (6) dietary treatments were used. Each treatment had three (3) replicates and each replicate had twelve (12) randomly allocated to the experimental pens. The experiment was completely randomized design. Five ( 5) different biodegraded sweet orange peels (BSOP) T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 were obtained after mixing sweet orange peels and rumen content w/w in ratio 1 SOP: 0.1 RC, 1 SOP: 0.2 RC, 1 SOP: 0.3 RC, 1 SOP: 0.4 RC and 1 SOP: 0.5 RC, respectively and, each was put in tied polythene bag, left to ferment for 48 h and sun dried to about 10% moisture. Each of T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 was used to replace maize at 20% level in the control diet (D1) to obtain diets D2, D3, D4, D5 and D6, respectively. The experimental diets and drinking water were served ad libitum, and growth performance and economic indices determined. The result showed that, the broiler chicks in the control diet (D1) had significantly (p<0.05) better growth performance in body weight, weight gain, FCR, protein intake and protein efficiency ratio than the chicks in the BSOP dietary treatments. Chicks in group D6 had a superior growth performance in body weight, weight gain, FCR, protein intake, and protein efficiency ratio, among the sweet orange peel based diets. Chicks in D1 had a significantly (p<0.05) higher total cost of production ($2.55), followed by D6 ($2.43) and D3 had the least ($2.34) with proportionate growth rate. It is recommended that sweet orange peel (SOP) can be treated with cattle rumen content (RC) in the ratio of 1 SOP: 0.5 RC w/w, and used to replace 20% maize in broiler starter diets for growth and economic benefits.
