Abstrakt
Substantial increase in the production of agri-food commodities over the past years has
resulted in the generation of enormous volumes of wastes and by-products, thus contributing to
increased environmental pollution. Being an under-exploited raw material which are rich in bioactive
compounds (e.g., polyphenols, dietary fibre, oils, essential vitamins, minerals, etc), novel strategies
and initiatives have been proposed and implemented for the effective management and valorization
of these wastes and by-products. The proposed initiatives and strategies support the concepts of
EU circular economy and green biorefinery, thus promoting sustainability. One of the strategies of
management of waste and by-products includes the effectual development of nutritious low-cost
sustainable animal feed. Currently, in the world market, there are a range of fruit and vegetable
wastes and by-products that have been effectively introduced in animal diets. Within this context, this
systematic review focuses on a diversified group of agri-food wastes (and the industrial by-products),
their bioactive components, the opportunities for the development of animal feed or feed supplements
(for Ruminants, Non-Ruminants and as Poultry feed) and conclusively the health benefits imparted.
In addition, the safety issues and regulations aspects are also covered.
