The objective of this study was to evaluate the digestibility of nutrients after the inclusion of pineapple (Ananas comosus L.), banana (Musa sp.), mango (Mangifera indica) and passion fruit (Passiflora sp.) residue in diet for confined rams replacing 75% corn silage. Twenty 5 Santa Ines crossbred rams, rumen fistulated, castrated were used with approximate initial age of 24 mo, and initial body weight of 45.4 ± 6.1 kg. Experiment was conducted in Latin square design (5 × 5), with 5 treatments, 5 animals per treatment, and 5 experimental periods of 13 d each. The forage: concentrate diet was 40:60 (% dry matter), and the forage in control diet was composed of 100% corn silage. To estimate the fecal nitrogen, animal feces were collected during 96 h using bag collectors. Samples of feces, bulky concentrates, and scraps of food provided were recorded. In all the samples we analyzed the chemical composition to estimate the digestibility of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), neutral detergent fiber corrected for ash and protein (NDFap), total carbohydrates (TC), and non-fibrous carbohydrates (NFC). The results were analyzed by ANOVA and Dunnett test at 5% probability, using the Statistical Analysis System. The inclusion of pineapple residue promoted increase (P < 0.05) in digestibility of OM, and TC, respectively, 2.5 and 4.5%, compared with control diet, which may be related to fermentation processes caused by this food, as there was a greater (P < 0.05) digestion of NDF, and NDFap with their inclusion in the diet. The diet containing banana residue decreased (P < 0.05) the EE digestibility by 23.6%, however provided an increase (P < 0.05) of the digestibility of NDFap in 7.78%. With the addition of mango residue, there was a reduction (P < 0.05) in DM by 1.5%. We concluded that the use of fruit residue instead of 75% corn silage (DM) do not cause reduction in the total apparent digestibility of nutrients in rams.
