Summary:In the citrus industry, as byproducts of the process to obtain citrus juices, there remain the crusts, membranes, part of the pulp, and seeds. This chapter shows the nutritional study of wet husk, husk dust, residue from the crushing of the dry skin, and wet residue from the pulp and solids filtered from the liquid effluents of the plant. This study was carried out with the aim to analyze the use of these wastes in the elaboration of balanced feed for animals. Samples were taken from a local citrus industry. The contents of dry matter, lipids, fiber, protein,s carbohydrates, and flavonoids were determined in triplicate. The obtained values were analyzed statistically in Excel 2010 and showed a standard deviation on the order of 5%. The powder of lemon peel showed the highest content of dry matter (99.7%), followed by lipids, proteins, fibers, and carbohydrates. For the wet shell, the content was 37.7%, and for the wet residues filtered, the content was 23.5%. The obtained results allow affirming that the industrial waste analyzed can be used in animal balanced feed, making supplementation of the nutrients in defect.
