Abstract: The current investigation evaluates the nutritional and functional potential of fruit and vegetable wastes (FVWs) as sustainable substitute to conventional poultry feed. The physical characterization of FVWs revealed optimal pH value (5.3-6.6), moisture content (9.7-12.7 %), and water holding capacity (76.3 %) highlighted favorable preservation, digestibility, and stability of the biomass. Biochemical analysis identified potato peels and banana foliage as rich sources of carbohydrates (65.76 %) and poor in lignin, respectively, enhancing their feed suitability.
