Abstract :This study was planned with the aim of determining nutrient contents and in vitro true digestibilities (IVTD) of empty hazelnuts (EH) pelletted with molasses, urea+molasses, corn and sepiolite. According to the 2 × 4 (3) factorial design, the experiment was established as 8 treatment groups; 1) control group (EH-C), 2) molasses (7%) added group (EH-M), 3) urea (2.5%) + molasses (7%) added group (EH-UM), 4) corn (15%) added group (EH-CR), 5) control group with sepiolite (2%) (SEH-C), 6) group added molasses (7%) with sepiolite (2%) (SEH-M), 7) Group added sepiolite (2%) with urea (2.5) + molasses (7%) (SEH-UM) and 8) group added sepiolite (2%) with corn (15%) (SEHCR). The total 8 groups in the study, 4 of them were treated with sepiolite where other 4 groups were non- sepiolite treated groups. Daisy incubator D220 was used to determine the IVTDs of the feeds. The crude protein (CP) contents of EH were 6.96-16.93%. The sepiolite addition increased the IVTD value of EH. However, the different treatments have a significant effect on the CP content of the EH pellets; but, urea and molasses addition were found to significantly increase the CP contents of EH. In the study, the highest IVTD values were found to be corn added EH groups. As conclusion, it was determined that the addition of sepiolite and corn in the pelletization of EH had a positive effect on its feed value.Keywords : İn vitro gerçek sindirilebilirlik, Boş fındık, Pelet, Sepiyolit, Melas
