Abstract

Due to their useful nutrient availability, soybean meal and yellow maize are frequently utilized as staple components in chicken feed. However, there is a huge demand for these two feedstuffs from animals (e.g., yellow corn and soybean meal). Humanity’s numbers are expected to rise to 9.1 billion by 2050. The demand for poultry goods including meat and eggs is rising worldwide. As a result, the demand for poultry feed will rise globally. The supply of wholesome feed for chickens is getting more and scarcer today. Food security will be at risk, particularly in developing nations. Efforts are being made to replace portions of the most traditional feedstuffs, i.e., soybean meal and yellow corn, with alternate ones. The present review explores the nontraditional alternate feed ingredients which could be included in poultry diets. Moreover, the nutritional value of these alternatives and their bioavailability are explored in this review, alongside means that applied to enhance the nutritional value of these alternatives.
