Abstract


Background: The growing demand for foods such as corn or soy has favored the study and implementation of biotechnologies that use agroindustrial waste and transform them so that they can be used to obtain alternative diets for animals with a high biological value. Objective: To increase the feed value of sugarcane bagasse through fermentation with probiotic microorganisms under solid-state conditions. Methodology: A diet based on by-products of sugarcane bagasse harvest treated by solid-state fermentation (SSF) was prepared. The fibrous material was collected, dried, ground, and mixed in a proportion of 1.0 and 2.0 inclusion with alfalfa flour (1.5), molasses (0.25), sodium sulfate (0.05), calcium carbonate (0.05), mineralized salt (0.05), urea (0.15), microbial preparation (0.25), and potato (6.7 or 5.7, respectively). The prepared feed was subjected to FES and evaluated by compositional and microbiological analysis. The effect of the percentage of sugarcane bagasse inclusion on obtaining dry matter, humidity, ash, ethereal extracts, crude protein, neutral and acid detergent fiber, organic matter and in situ digestibility of dry matter was analyzed. Results: The inclusion percentage significantly affects the production of ash (7.23 and 6.63%, respectively), crude protein (16.3 and 14.1%, respectively), organic matter (92.7 and 93.3%, respectively), and in situ digestibility (74.6 and 63.8, respectively). The microbiological analysis determined that the count of lactic acid bacteria and aerobic mesophiles increased with fermentation time; no growth of molds, yeasts, or Salmonella was observed. Implications: Solid-state fermentation proves its value as a sustainable strategy, a cost-effective alternative, and an easily applicable approach for the utilization and valorization of agroindustrial waste by incorporating it into functional diets for sheep. Conclusion: Under the conditions of this study, it was demonstrated that the biological value of sugarcane bagasse can be effectively increased through solid- state fermentation when combined with other raw materials, making it a viable component in formulating diets for sheep.
