Extract

Feed by-products are often economical sources of nutrients for use in ruminant rations. However, there are limitations regarding their usage such as high density, small particle size and in some cases, low digestibility due to high lignin contents (for by-products such as cottonseed hull, peanut hull and sunflower hull). The use of some by-products continues to increase (such as pistachio hull and cotton seed hull) although there is little data regarding their physical or chemical properties. In this study some chemical and physical properties of non-forage fibre by-products were investigated.
