Research Progress on the Application of Plant By-products in Ruminants
Plant by-products usually refer to the waste or by-products produced in the process of industrial and agricultural production.They can be used as feed substitutes in animal production to provide sustainable feed sources for animal husbandry.They are also an important human inedible feed resource in animal husbandry production.Plant by-products have a variety of nutritional values.The development and utilization of plant by-products can not only reduce waste and make up for feed demand,but also reduce the emission of methane and nitrogen from ruminant intestinal tract by using plant by-products rich in biological activity.In this paper,the plant by-products were briefly introduced,and the research progress of the application effect of plant by-products in ruminant production in recent years was summarized and analyzed,in order to provide reference for the application of plant by-products in ruminants.
