| Background Livestock production is faced with the problem of the high cost of imported concentrates. It is essential to look for alternative feed resources that will ensure the long-term sustainability of the sheep sector or provide solutions to adequately cover feed requirements and guarantee the development and sustainability of the sector. Aims: The aim of this study was to characterize mango pericarp and kernel, two mango by-products, with a view to their valorization in animal feed. Instruments & Methods: Mature mangoes were collected in Korogho region. The pericarp and kernel were dried and ground for physico-chemical and microbiological analysis. Findings: The kernel and pericarp were rich in lipid and protein, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium and zinc. The lipid and protein contents of the kernel were higher than those of the pericarp, with respective contents of 3.15 ± 0.01 g/100 g and 4.61 ± 0.05 g/100 g for the kernel, compared with 0.83 ± 0.02 g/100 g and 0.95 ± 0.01 g/100 g. Phenolic compounds were more concentrated in the almond. In addition, all the 100 mg/ml extracts, compared with the vitamin C extract, showed a percentage inhibition of less than 50%. Both samples showed almost similar antioxidant activity at. All the micro-organisms tested were absent from the samples, with the exception of aerobic mesophilic germs and Bacillus. However, the loads of these two micro-organisms were below the EC-2025 standard. Conclusion: Mango by-products could be used as an alternative in the formulation of animal feed.
