Abstract
Food by-products in Iran are produced in high levels. In this study, in situ and in vitro gas production techniques were used to describe nutritive value of apple pomace, tomato pomace and noodle waste. For this purpose two ruminal fistulated sheep were used. Nylon bags which were approximately (6×12 cm) containing 5 g samples (2 mm screen) were incubated in duplicate in the rumen of fistulated sheep for 0,2,4,6,8,12,16,24,36 and 48 h. The gas production was recorded after 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 h of incubation and the equation of P = A (1-e -ct ) was used to describe the kinetics of gas production. The data was analyzed using completely randomized design. DM and CP disappearance were significantly different among feedstuffs (p<0.05). After 48 h of incubation DM disappearance in noodle waste was highest and in tomato pomace was lowest. Regarding to the results, at the most incubation times tomato pomace had lower CP disappearance among feedstuffs (p<0.05). Potential gas production (A) and rates of gas production (c) differed among feedstuffs. Apple pomace showed higher potential gas production (A) (305.1 mL g -1 DM) and tomato pomace had higher rate of gas production (c) (0.09 h -1 ) than the other feedstuffs. According to gas production volume, the value for the ME, OMD and SCFA ranged from in 8.87 noodle waste to 9.76 in apple pomace, 56.1 in tomato pomace to 64.3 in apple pomace and 0.919 in noodle waste to 1.168 in apple pomace, respectively. Partitioning factor in noodle waste was highest and in tomato pomace was lowest. In the present study, feeds composition significantly affected the degradation parameters.

In order to meet the projected high regulations, increasing costs of waste disposal and demand of livestock products and to fulfill the future changes in perception of the value of by-product hopes of feeding the millions and safeguarding their food security, the better utilization of non-conventional feed resources which do not compete with human food feedstuffs as economical feed alternatives
Summary
Several factors have lead to increase interest in byproduct feedstuffs, such as pollution abatement and regulations, increasing costs of waste disposal and productivity in developing countries is the scarcity and changes in perception of the value of by-product fluctuating quantity and quality of the year-round feedstuffs as economical feed alternatives. Several factors have lead to increase interest in byexperience serious shortages in animal feeds of the product feedstuffs, such as pollution abatement and conventional type. Which was fitted to the experimental data by iterative regression analysis[8] In this equation, e is the base of natural logarithms, the constant ‘a’ represents the fermentation is necessary in order to properly balance their introduction into the diets[2,3] and the knowledge about their potential feeding value is insufficient. The nutrient composition of feeds is commonly determined by chemical analysis This does not provide soluble and very rapidly degradable component and ‘b’ represents the insoluble but potentially degradable component, which degrades at a constant fractional rate (c) per unit time. The effective degradability of DM and CP for feedstuffs was estimated by the following sufficient information to determining the feed true nutritive value.
