ABSTRACT The increasing demand for sustainable agricultural practices prompts a reevaluation of feeding strategies in ruminant nutrition. Agricultural waste, often viewed as by‐product (BP), presents promising opportunity to enhance the sustainability livestock production systems. This review explores potential incorporating various BPs into diets. Utilizing these reduces environmental impact farming and contributes circular economy by recycling nutrients back food system. nutritional composition wastes varies widely, their inclusion diets improves feed efficiency, animal performance overall health. Research indicates that specific treatments, such fermentation ensiling, digestibility nutrient availability materials. Moreover, waste nutrition leads financial benefits farmers reducing reliance on conventional sources. However, key challenges remain, particularly need further research optimize rates address anti‐nutritional factors found some wastes. Notably, adding materials results 10%–30% reductions costs improvements 5%–20% metrics, weight gain milk production. These findings highlight economic utilizing practices. emphasizes necessity developing innovative leverage calling interdisciplinary approaches combine nutrition, agronomy science. By adopting practices, sector security while minimizing its ecological footprint. Future focuses processing techniques, effective management factors, assessing long‐term impacts health productivity. Additionally, examining aspects commonly used BPs, pomegranate, grape, pistachio, saffron, raisin, olive tomato, is essential fully understanding guiding development targeted strategies.

ABSTRACT An experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of gross energy (GE) and concentrations digestible (DE) in soybean meal (SBM) hulls are greater when fed gestating sows or lactating than growing pigs, there is no difference ATTD GE between sows. Three experimental diets were prepared. The basal diet consisted corn as sole source energy, two additional contained 30% SBM 20% hulls. All pigs Twenty-four twenty-four housed metabolism crates, fecal urine samples quantitatively collected. farrowing crates feces grab-sampled.

To meet the growing demand for sustainable aquaculture, plant proteins are being explored as alternative sources in fish diets. However, some can have adverse health effects on fish, prompting research into functional feed ingredients to mitigate these issues. This study investigated pistachio shell powder (PSP), rich antioxidants, a ingredient rainbow trout (
