Özet
Former food products (FFPs) that are thought of as waste products actually should be considered as a valuable alternative feed resource in ruminant nutrition. These FFPs can be reutilized and converted by ruminants to valuable products for human benefits as a new resource and in return to increase the availability of limited feed resources. But, there are limited information and research regarding the nutritive value FFPs for ruminants. For this purpose, the experiment was conducted to evaluate the nutritional potential of the selected FFPs for ruminants specifically. Eight different types FFPs that are biscuits, bread, breakfast cereals, candies, chocolates, confectionery products, pasta, puddings, and also control flaked corn were analyzed for nutritional composition and metabolizable energy values were calculated by crude nutrients for ruminants. Further, energy, dry matter digestibility, and organic matter digestibility of FFPs and corn materials were investigated by using the cellulose enzyme method. All samples were analyzed the macro minerals (calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, and magnesium) and the microelements (iron, copper, manganese, and zinc) contents. In the research, heat-processed flake corn was chosen for a control feed as a generally main energy resource in ruminant rations. Compared with corn, FFPs regarding the parameters in dry matter, ash, organic matter, crude protein, ether extract, crude fiber, nitrogen-free extract, nonstructural carbohydrate, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, starch, sugar, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, copper, manganese, zinc, dry-organic matter digestibility, and energy were different (P <= 0.05). In the research, selected FFPs compared with corn have generally shown a high nutritional composition (starch, sugar and oil content), energy, and in vitro digestibility but low mineral concentration. These properties make them a new component valuable energy source alternative feed ingredient to corn and other cereals not only for monogastric animals but also in ruminants.
