SUMMARY:

Cassava peel silage has a high probability of being a promising alternative food for ruminants, especially in regions where cassava is a predominant crop. The use of this agricultural by-product not only contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing waste, but also offers a rich and economical source of energy for animal nutrition, as the high cost of grains in ruminant feed represents a major challenge for producers, especially given the reliance on grains like corn and soy to provide energy and protein, which can impact the profitability of meat and dairy production. Palm oil cake, a by-product of palm oil extraction, is a potentially valuable energy source for ruminants. Using palm cake in animal feed not only helps reduce costs, but also promotes sustainability by taking advantage of agro-industrial byproducts. The present study was divided into two experiments, in the first, a completely randomized experimental design (DIC) was used, and the variables studied were: aerobic stability, pH and microbial population in Mombasa silages, cassava peel silages and cassava peel silages with palm oil cake. In the second, cassava peel silage and cassava peel silage with palm kernel cake were used as an alternative source of energy in concentrate diets for confined sheep. The variables studied were: consumption, digestibility, performance and ingestive behavior.
