This study investigates the biochemical constituents of fibrous residue (FR) derived from ten distinct potato varieties (Solanum tuberosum L.) at Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture & Technology during 2023-2024. Key parameters analyzed included protein, carbohydrate, ash, and ether extractives content. The results demonstrated significant variability among the varieties, with protein content ranging from 9.60% to 14.42%, highlighting Kufri Ganga and Kufri Kiran as superior sources. Carbohydrate content varied from 62.34% to 72.79%, with Kufri Khyati exhibiting the highest values. Ash content ranged from 5.28% to 7.47%, with Kufri Ganga maintaining the lowest levels, while ether extractives were highest in Kufri Manik, ranging from 4.68% to 6.27%. These findings emphasize the potential applications of potato FR in livestock feed, food formulations, and industrial processes, underscoring the importance of selecting specific potato varieties for optimized resource utilization and sustainability in agricultural practices.
