Resumen
Recycling of horticultural by-products generated in Almería (Southeast of Spain) is a main challenge aimed to both diminishing adverse environmental impacts, and decreasing feeding costs in extensive small ruminant farming. The aim of the present work was the assessment of the opportunities of silage as a procedure to preserve the nutritive value of tomato pulp itself, or mixed with cereal straw. Tomato pulp offered convenient ensiling properties that would allow this by-product to be kept for long periods, independently of its use as a single ingredient, partially dehydrated by centrifugation, or mixed with cereal straw. Nutritive value of tomato pulp was similar to that of a medium-quality forage, although the mixture of the pulp with straw decreased its protein content. Although tomato pulp itself showed a greater nutritive value than its mixture with straw, it is recommended the mixture with straw in order to make easier its transport and handling.
