It contains 23% DM, 6% CP, 25.6% NDF, 16.9% ADF and 3.6% ash (Silva et al., 1997).
Neumark (1970) evaluated the nutritive value of fresh orange peels. He reported that fresh

orange peel contains 16.1% DM, 6.8% CP, 14.1% NDF, 9.1% ADF and 3.7% ash.

Devendra (1988) also examined the chemical composition of fresh lime peels and
noticed that fresh lime peels contains 18.3% DM, 7.8% CP, 24.3% NDF, 18.3% ADF and

3.6% ash. Sotto et al. (2009) evaluated the nutritive values of DCP. They stated that DCP
could be supplemented in ruminants for better results having 90% DM and 7.6% CP. Heuze

and Hassoun (2014) stated that DCP contains 88-91% DM. Chaudhry and Naseer (2006)
reported that DCP consists of 81% DM and 6.8% CP. Keener et al. (1957) also examined

the nutritive value of DCP. They reported that DCP contains 92.15% DM, 5.81% and CP,

4.34%. Chemical composition of DCP calculated by different sources is given in Table 2.1.
