Abstract

This study was conducted to determination potential of gas production and ME of bakery wastes and its comparison with barley and wheat. ME content for bakery wastes include BARBARY(B), LAVASH(L), SANGAK(S) and TAFTOON(T) were 13.23, 12.11, 13.76, 13.53, 13.90 and 13.59 MJ/Kg DM respectively. The highest content of metabolisable energy (ME) was for SANGAK and the lowest content was for barley. As well as ME content between Wheat and barley and among wheat and barley with bakery wastes were significantly different. Total gas production for wheat, barley and bakery wastes (B, L, S, T) were 94.03, 86.43, 94.90, 92.03, 96.77 and 93.77 percentage respectively in 200 mg that the highest content was for SANGAK and the lowest was for barley. Total gas production for barley had significant difference with wheat and bakery wastes. The results were illustrating that usage of bakery wastes as a feed with high degradability an ME in farm animals diet formulation especially in feedlot animals is possible.
