Abstract
The global food industry annually generates millions of tons of by-products derived from the processing and manufacturing of citrus fruits. Only a small part is used to obtain new products and the rest is considered as waste, with the consequent negative impact on the environment. The purpose of this research work is to use the products extracted from citrus fruits of orange, grapefruit, tangerine and lemon, being used in the diet of ruminants as a source of energy, supplement or alternative in the face of a shortage of forage. Making the use of these by-products in order to reduce the environmental impact of the waste generated.
Highlights
Between 1970 and 1995 the land lost 30% of its natural wealth
Citrus pulp is described as a common by-product in various countries around the world and its cost is relatively low compared to its nutritional value
As can be seen in tables 1 & 2, Citrus by-products cover all the possible characteristics that can be found in conventional foods, so the general evaluation criteria are similar and must attend to their energy value, their protein value and MS% PC% FC% Mcal/Kg DM
Summary
Between 1970 and 1995 the land lost 30% of its natural wealth (forest, marine and freshwater resources). Caused by the indiscriminate use of the consumption of its resources and the pollution of the environment. Among the main causes mentioned is the consumption of certain renewable resources such as cereals, meat of animal origin, fish, shellfish, wood, paper, which are used by all the world’s inhabitants for food, fuel and materials [1]. It is important to mention that what has to do with natural forest cover has been in decline. In order to maintain the sustainability of natural resources, scientists at a global level have proposed a series of actions that help in our days to mitigate an indiscriminate man-made damage [3]
