By-products obtained from the food processing industry have a potential value as animal feedstuffs and are becoming an important part of the food and fibre system used in livestock production. Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is a fruit-bearing deciduous tree that is widely grown in subtropical and tropical regions. Pomegranates are popularly consumed as fresh fruit, beverages, and food products (jams and jellies). Pomegranate peel makes up about 50% of the total fruit weight that remains after pomegranate juice production. This study was designed to investigate the effects of supplementing different levels of pomegranate peel (PP) powder to concentrate diet on the performance and carcass characteristics of Iraqi black goat kids. Eighteen weaned male goat kids were used in the current experiment. The goat kids were blocked according to their live weight and randomly divided into three different groups (6 lambs per group). Three different levels of PP powder were added to the concentrate diet, with 0 g/kg DM as a control group (GC), 20 g/kg DM as a low level of supplemented PP (LG), and 40 g/kg DM as a high level of supplemented PP (HG). Goat kids were kept in individual pens and received one of the three experimental diets for 12 weeks with free access to clean water and wheat straw. Data were analysed as randomized block designs. The results showed that adding different levels of PP significantly (P<0.05) reduced average daily weight gain: 95, 80, and 75 g/d, and feed conversion ratio: 10, 12.2, and 13 kg/kg for CG, LG, or HG respectively. While supplementation concentrated diet with PP powder either at 20 or 40 g/kg DM did not have any significant differences in all other studied traits.
