Four samples of sun dried wastes were collected from growing chicken turkey, duck and pigeon wastes. These birds were raised on floor. The wastes consisted of excreta and minimum wasted food, dust and feathers. They were subjected to laboratory evaluation, chemical analysis, dry organic matter disappearance in vitro and amino acid composition, in order to advice the livestock producers, if it is possible to use such wastes. On the bases of laboratory evaluation, it was concluded that such wastes had higher crude protein content and the presence of most essential amino acids, except lysine, showing that lysine, methionine and tryptophane were the most limiting amino acids.
