Abstract

BACKGROUND:The use of agricultural residues for feeding of livestock and poultry play an important role in reducing production cost. OBJECTIVES:This experiment was conducted for evaluation the effects of different levels of tomato pomace (TP) on dry matter intake, body weight gain and blood metabolites of male Holstein calves. METHODS:This research was conducted using 12 Holstein male calves in a Completely Randomized Design with 3 treatments and 4 calves in each group. Experimental diets were 1) control (no TP), 2) diet with 8% TP on dietary dry matter (DM) basis and 3) diet with 16% TP on dietary DM basis. RESULTS:Using TP had significant effects on body weight gain and feed intake and feed conversion (FC) ratio (p<0.05). Using 8% TP has no significant effect on dry matter intake and body weight gain. When TP increased to 16% of the diet, a decrease in body weight gain and an increase in feed intake and FC were measured (p<0.05). Chewing activity was not affected with different experimental diets. Although TP did not significantly affect concentrations of total protein, triglycerides and cholesterol in blood samples, however, using 16% TP in diet resulted a decrease in blood glucose (57.81 g/dl) and an increase in blood urea nitrogen concentrations (17.88 g/dl) in comparison with control or 8% TP (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:It can be concluded that up to 8% of TP successfully can be used in beef cattle diet without any undesirable effects on animal production.
