This meticulously assembled collection showcases a comprehensive array of five in-depth reviews, delving into the realm of crops as livestock feed. The opening chapter delves into the profound impact of feeding ruminants cereal grains on animal physiology and overall health. It explores the strategic utilization of starch-rich cereal grains as a vital feedstuff, aimed at enhancing animal efficiency, performance, and mitigating the ecological footprint of ruminant animal production.
In the subsequent chapter, the focus shifts to examining the intricate environmental trade-offs associated with the use of crops as livestock feed. It scrutinizes the critical factors involved in trade-off analysis, shedding light on potential avenues for optimizing the utilization of existing feed resources and fostering the production of higher-quality feed biomass.
The third chapter takes a closer look at the optimization of barley utilization for animal feed, encompassing a range of aspects from production and breeding to the application of cutting-edge technologies such as near infrared spectroscopy and molecular markers.
The fourth chapter delves into the significance of sorghum as a vital source of fodder and forage. It provides a comprehensive overview of the diverse types of sorghum employed for forage and other applications, followed by a detailed exploration of the use of forage sorghum as a nourishing feed for ruminants.
Lastly, the concluding chapter focuses on the utilization of soybean meal (SBM) as an animal feed. It assesses the nutritional value of SBM while also addressing the challenges of mitigating its anti-nutritive compounds, thereby optimizing its use in animal nutrition.
Through these comprehensive reviews, this collection offers valuable insights into the latest research and advancements in the field of crops as livestock feed, empowering stakeholders to make informed decisions and drive sustainable agricultural practices.
