| Sumario: | <p id="p1">Feed and fodder are crucial for cattle nutrition. In torrid regions where the temperature reaches up to 90 degress and experiences high rainfall, production of animal products and consumption have grown significantly with pastoralism being a diverse family of livestock-based livelihood. Food waste can be repurposed as livestock feed, reducing waste and reducing costs. Additionally, aquatic feed resources, such as fishmeal and algae, provide valuable protein and essential fatty acids for optimal growth and health. Halophyte fodder is a group of plants that can be used as a source of nutrients for livestock in agro-industrial products. These are some of the game changers that have evolved special strategies to cope with saline environments. Time to dive deep into the discovery of halophytes as we investigate the uncounted other applications of these charming plants. By understanding the diverse range of feed resources available, livestock producers can formulate balanced diets that meet the specific nutritional needs of their animals. Whether it is the utilization of conventional or nonconventional feed resources, the goal remains the same to provide animals with the necessary nutrients for growth, productivity, and overall well-being.</p> |
