world to utilize the remaining bits of fruits. Finally, the estimated feed
cost might be further decreased by integrating other fruit wastes with
fish waste in feed composition, however further research is needed in
this area [19]. However, only about 20% of the total pineapple fruit
contains juice, with the rest being discarded as garbage that pollutes
the environment. This includes the crown, peeled skin, base, and core.
These wastes have low protein concentrations despite being
extremely rich in cellulose, hemicellulose, and other complex
carbohydrates. It will also be widely used in animal feed composition,
replacing pricey conventional protein sources and, naturally, lowering
the cost of raising animals and animal protein [16], [35]. Additionally,
it will be extensively utilized in the composition of animal feed,
replacing expensive conventional protein sources and, naturally,
bringing down the price of rearing animals and animal protein [16],
[35]. By producing secure and nutrient-dense animal diets, it is crucial
to make the most of waste products from the agricultural and food
processing industries, such as pineapple peels. This is because there
is a rising demand for innovative protein sources [3].

2.4 Feeding Livestock
The possibility of using pineapple waste for animal feed has been
mentioned in research [6], [21], [29]. However, only 20% of the waste
from pineapple production in Uganda is being utilized as animal feed
[38]. Given the high moisture content, pineapple waste in the flesh is
quite prone to degradation. The situation is improved by turning
pineapple waste into shelf-stable animal feed [6]. Waste from
pineapples like the stem and leaves may be processed into pellets for
use by domestic birds and animals [6], [36], [35]. Because pineapple
waste has a lot of fiber, it can provide energy and facilitate animal and
avian digestion [6]. Gowda et al. [12] produced silage from the crown
and peels of pineapples in a ratio of 4:1. According to the study, using
PFR effectively increased cattle's daily milk production on average
without harming their diet or general health. Research by Hattakum et
al. [13] found that using pineapple stem silage significantly reduced
