Abstract

Since the food system will inevitably produce food waste, it is recommended that it be captured and recycled for more efficient use rather than being disposed of as solid household waste. Therefore, it is advantageous to promote food waste as poultry feed. In order to study the feeding feasibility of a poultry Lab- Prepared Feed (LPF) based on kitchen food waste as well as their nutritional value, the tests were carried out near Taza city on an organic chicken farm, in Eastern Morocco. The results of consumption indices concerning organic chickens treated only by Lab-Prepared Feed showed average values of 1.18 and 1.17 for tests 1 and 2 successively. According to the results obtained, the tests proved the feeding feasibility of a Lab-Prepared Feed (LPF), it appears to be a good substitute for commercial foods. The study may help to ensure the recovering of food waste materials as a new poultry feed substitute.

Highlights

  • Due to rapid population growth associated with urbanization, which is expected to reach 9.7 billion people by 2050 [1], rates of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generation are experiencing a significant increase more than double over the twenty years in lower income countries [2]

  • 2.1 Lab-prepared poultry feed based on kitchen food waste (LPF) The lab-prepared food (LPF) for use in poultry farming is made from kitchen wastes

  • The results of the organic and minimal parameters determined are reported in (Fig. 3). They are obtained from the dry matter (DM) of the samples

Summary

Introduction

Due to rapid population growth associated with urbanization, which is expected to reach 9.7 billion people by 2050 [1], rates of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generation are experiencing a significant increase more than double over the twenty years in lower income countries [2]. In which the proportion of putrescible fraction mainly dominated by Food Waste is on average 74% and reaches 77% during the summer season. This waste is landfilled instead of being recycled, aggravating the negative impact of its treatment within the landfill cells due to its high humidity of 64% [7]
