To utilize citrus byproducts for animal feeds two different silages were made using citrus peel and citrus pulp mixture. The experimental design included 12 treatments, six for citrus peel silage and six for citrus pulp mixture silage, then treatments were allocated according to sun-drying and urea, barley straw and NaOH treated straw additions. Chemical composition, pH, organic acid and NBDMD were examined and treatments compared. Sun-drying (3 days) citrus waste reduced the moisture content by 6-10%. Addition of barley straw reduced the moisture content of the two silages by 4-8%
