Recuperating agricultural wastes into feed additives

Abstract

Every year, millions of tonnes of agricultural waste (AWs) are produced globally. Agricultural wastes are of poorer quality than the primary products, yet they have similar characteristics. To reduce environmental stress, managing these agricultural wastes is expensive and calls for stringent regulations. As a result, turning these agricultural wastes into useful goods minimizes negative effects on the environment, supports the agricultural sector, and enriches industry participants. Recent decades have witnessed an enormous amount of study on the synthesis of cutting-edge biologically active compounds and an array of bioproducts from agricultural waste owing to the prospective importance of crop residue in the agri-food-pharma domains through diverse valorisation approaches. Accordingly, the present study demonstrated agricultural waste generated diverse value-added feed bioproducts as a feed supplement to enhance animal fitness and boosting output, as well as current state of various agri-waste valorisation techniques. The study also covers the application areas of these feed additives.
