**12. Conclusion**

Animal feeding studies identified in the present chapter suggest that agricultural post-harvesting by-products are generally nutritious that can be converted into safe animal feed ingredients using advanced technologies. These by-products can be incorporated into animal diets without compromising animal health and performance. However, animal nutritionists, experts, and farm advisors have the opportunity to assist producers in lowering feed costs in certain regions of the country by incorporating agricultural post-harvest by-products into safe and effective rations. A basic understanding of the availability of the waste stream in certain regions and seasons, along with the knowledge of production and conversion, sanitary aspects in the storage of these by-products are necessary to ensure the absence of mold and bacterial contamination and pathogens.
