RESULTS
Composition of the diets and their antioxidant
capacity is shown in Table 1. It can be seen that
as the amount of coffee pulp increased in the
diet, the antioxidant capacity also increased.
Carcass dressing was 48.19, 50.30, and 50.83%
for diets that had 0, 8 and 16% coffee pulp,
respectively. It can be seen that as the amount of
coffee pulp in the diet increases, the carcass
dressing also increases. The addition of 16%
coffee pulp to the diet decreased rumen and
intestinal fat from 3.43 to 2.53% relative to live
weight. Mean kidney fat, pH, and REA were not
modified as an effect of coffee pulp in the diet of
sheep (Table 2).
The percentages of moisture, fat, protein, and ash
in the sheep meat did not vary as an effect of
including coffee pulp in the diet of sheep
(Table 3).
