Extract

The mulberry belongs to the genus Morus of the family Moraceae. There are 24 species of Morus and one subspecies, with at least 100 known varieties. One of the most important points about mulberry fruit is its sensitivity to environmental conditions during harvesting time and also the methods of harvesting. Because of these sensitivities, there is a lot of waste in the production of mulberry fruit. In the animal feed industry, agricultural by-products are used in animal and poultry nutrition. However, there is no information about the use of mulberry fruit waste in poultry nutrition; therefore this experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of mulberry fruit in broiler nutrition.
