Abstract

The potentials, problems and prospects of utilizing alternative feedstuffs inNigerian poultry industry were reviewed. Research findings showed thatalternative feed resources, particularly novel feed resources, were availableand could be safely used in poultry nutrition. Several researchers indicatedtheir suitability, a few envisaged the limitations to their effectiveness andsome attempted to offer hints on their improvement. Generally, there wasseemingly little scientific documentation about Nigerian cases that would havecreated the awareness for immediate adoption by prospective poultry farmers.This review therefore puts together the classifications of these feed resourceswith examples, their accessibility and safety to serve as a reorientationstrategy to achieve research and value-addition plans of transforming theNigerian livestock industry.
