Abstract

The use of non-conventional feed resources in animal nutrition has gained significant attention due to the growing demand for sustainable and cost-effective alternatives. Non-conventional feed resources include agro-industrial by-products, food processing wastes, and unconventional forages. The advantages, challenges, and prospects of non-traditional feed sources for animal nutrition are examined in this article. Advantages of non-conventional feed resources include economic sustainability, environmental sustainability, nutritional value, value addition, and waste utilization. Challenges and considerations include nutritional composition variability, process optimization, nutritional factors, and quality control. Promising examples include insect-based protein, microalgae, and non-conventional crop silage. The utilization of non-conventional feed resources should always be based on scientific research and expert guidance.
