Résumé

The competition between humans and livestock for conventional grains has increased the challenges imposed on livestock production as a result of the demands for quality feed resources. This review therefore seeks to explore the potentials of crop residues and other agricultural by-products in the production of nutritive and affordable feeds for livestock in south-west Nigeria as well as the reduction of feed scarcity while enhancing sustainability. By products and crop residues such as brewers dried grains, palm kernel cake, maize stover, rice straws, groundnut haulms etc. when incorporated effectively could enhance the nutritive values of livestock diet. Ruminant livestock has been known to have unique digestive systems and are therefore, able to utilize these alternative feed ingredients, consequently, this helps to minimize the competition for conventional resources with humans. Furthermore, this review also studies the impact of these by-products' inclusion in ruminant diets on the health status, growth parameters of the animals and environmental sustainability.
