Description
INTRODUCTION Turkey has a large animal production section with approximately 11 million cattle and 30 million sheep (Anonymous, 2008a,b). Despite these large numbers there are significant problems in terms of animal production largely due to the lack of sufficient amount and quality of roughage (Kilic, 2005). Of the 21.5 million hectares of cultivated land only 5.6% is used for fodder crop production (Anonymous, 2008b). The insufficient fodder crop production and limited availability of pastures due to over grazing has meant that only the basic energy needs of the animals for survival and perhaps limited milk production (4-5 kg/d) are being met (Kilic, 2000). This lack of roughage has prompted interest is alternative feed sources, including the 7-10 million tones of fruit and vegetable wastes produced each year in Turkey (Vural, 2000). There are several studies suggesting that such plant wastes could be potential feed sources for ruminants (Saricicek et al., 1994; 1997; Bakshi et al., 2006; Khorshed et al., 2006; Wadhwa et al., 2006; Meneses et al., 2007).
