Abstract

ABSTRACT: Corn silages were made either un-supplemented (control, C) or supplemented with tomato pomace (TP) and/ or orange pulps (OP) at the levels of 10, 15 or 20%. The effect of the experimental silages on nutrients digestibility, rumen fermentation and some blood parameters of sheep were tested. Twelve male Ossimi rams, averaged 63kg live body weight, were assigned to three 4×4 Latin squares. The first was used to test corn silage supplemented with 0, 10, 15 or 20% TP; the second one was designed to test corn silage supplemented with 0, 10, 15 or 20% OP; the third were used to test corn silage supplemented with both pulps (TOP) at 0, 10, 15 or 20%, half of it from each source. Results indicated that the addition of TP and/or OP to corn silage gave the best properties of silage until the level of 20%. The digestibility of CP, CF, NFE and EE increased when animals were fed silage containing 10% tomato pomace (TP10). The digestibility of DM, CP and NFE increased when animals were fed silage containing 10% orange pulp (OP10) while the digestibility of CF and EE increased in the silage containing 15% orange pulp silage (OP15); differences were significant (P<0.01). The digestibility of DM, CP, EE and NFE increased when animals were fed silage containing 5% of both tomato pomace and citrus pulps (TOP10). The digestibility of CF increased in ration containing 7.5% of each tomato and orange pulp silage (TOP15). The increase in the nutrients digestibility led to an increase in the nutritive value (TDN and DCP). Feeding silages containing 10% or 15% tomato and/or orange pulps led to an improvement in the rumen VFA and NH3-N concentration. The results obtained showed that blood parameters were in the normal range.
