Development and Efficient Utilization of Unconventional Feed
The current feed raw material supply chain in China still has structural problems and conflicts between human and animal food,and the development of efficient utilization of alternative feed will be the research focus for sustainable development of the livestock industry in the present era.Alternative feed has the advantages of wide resource distribution,high single nutrient and biological active component content,and low feed cost.However,the limiting factors such as unbalanced nutrient content,feeding restrictions,antinutrient factors,poor palatability,and unstable quality also require corresponding technical means to be overcome.This paper reviews the distribution of resources,nutritional characteristics,processing methods,and application examples of alternative functional feed such as by-products of legumes,distiller's grains,woody feed,single-cell protein,animal-source protein,by-products of grain processing,straw,herbal by-products,and tea by-products.Finally,the paper discusses the strategic system for establishing the utilization and industrialization of alter-native feed resources,and explores the innovative technologies for processing alternative feed raw materials in the future,providing a new perspective for accelerating the solution of China's grain and oil crisis and diversification problems.
