Beyond the Alternative Proteins: How Does Fungal-Insect Bioconversion Reshape Nutrient Quality and Functional Value of Animal Feeds?
Abstract: The growing demand for sustainable animal production has intensified interest in fungi and insects as alternative sources of feed protein; however, their nutritional significance extends well beyond simple replacement of conventional protein ingredients. Fungal-insect bioconversion represents an emerging biological platform in which microorganisms and insects can transform low-value biomass into nutritionally and functionally distinct feed resources. This review examines how sequential or integrated fungal and insect bioconversion can reshape the …

Enzyme Technology in Animal Nutrition: Enhancing Digestibility, Bioavailability, and Nutrient Utilization in Animal Production
Abstract: Enzyme technology has emerged as a core component of modern animal nutrition, offering practical solutions to improve feed utilization, enhance digestive efficiency, and support sustainable livestock production. This review synthesizes current advances in the application of exogenous feed enzymes in animal diets, with emphasis on their contribution to improved nutrient digestibility, bioavailability, and overall feed efficiency. Key enzymes, including phytases, proteases, carbohydrases, and lipases, are widely utilized to degrade anti …
