Popis:	The use of agricultural and food industry waste as animal feed is considered as best option to fill feed shortage gap and efficient utilization of available resources within food-feed production circularity. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of combined fruit waste meal utilization between Woyito-Guji bucks’ vs. Doyo-Gena rams in a 2 × 4 randomized crossover design with two species, four diets and four periods. The treatments were grass hay with 0% fruit waste (FW) + 100% concentrate mix (CM) (T1), 25% FW + 75% CM (T2), 50% FW + 50% CM (T3) and 75% FW + 25% CM (T4). Regardless of species variation, T1, T2 and T3 had comparable (p > 0.05) body weight gain and feed conversion efficiency values higher (p
