Abstract: Human being developing in all society models has generated a variety of by- products that can still be useful into circularity framework. Agro-industrial activity produces huge volumes of by-products. In this regard, poultry feather, grape pomace, rice husk and wheat middling are good examples. For this reason, they were tested as monodiet on Artemia biomass production. They were grinded, dehydrated up to 10% wet and then micronized (38 microns). In case of feather, it was prepared as hydrolysed and non-hydrolysed way. A simple quasi-experimental design completely randomized was proposed. Four treatments with three replicates were performed. Ten thousand hatched nauplii were seeded into one liter bottle with filtered seawater aerated constantly. Feeding suspension (50 g/L) were prepared with each monodiet. Artemia was fed on keeping 15 cm of turbidity in each unit. Best biomass increase production, specific grow rate, survival and feed conversion rate were obtained in general by poultry feather and in specific by hydrolysed feather with significant differences. As a consequence, it can be concluded, that agri-food by-product specially poultry feather can be converted in high animal protein quality with easy digestibility through Artemia biomass production.
