“…These compounds also increase the egg production rate of poultry and the productivity and immunity of livestock and poultry and improve meat quality (Hager-Theodorides et al, 2014). However, some antinutritional components, such as the polyphenolic compounds tannins, which lead to poor feed palatability, are present among the secondary metabolites of some plants (Ali et al, 2022). Therefore, exploring the secondary metabolites and nutritional value of woody forages is highly important for ensuring the healthy development of animal husbandry.…”

Thirty-six leaf samples of Sophora davidii, Indigofera amblyantha, and Broussonetia papyrifera were collected during different growth periods. The dynamic changes in nutritional components and secondary metabolites were analysed, and the biological activities of the secondary metabolites were evaluated. The optimal utilization stage of each plant was comprehensively determined. The results showed that S. davidii (the crude protein (CP) content 24.82%, relative feed value (RFV) 186.52) and I. amblyantha (CP 24.28%, RFV 177.54) were premium forage materials and that B. papyrifera (CP 21.65%, RFV 133.84) was a first-level forage. The best period for using the leaves of these three plants as animal feed was the flowering stage. As the growth progressed, the contents of CP, crude fibre (CF), dry matter (DM), and nitrogen-free extract (NFE) decreased, while the CF, neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), and crude ash (Ash) increased.

“…Among them are anti-nutritional factors (ANFs) or non-beneficial compounds that can affect human and animal growth as well as reduce their nutrient intake, absorption, and utilization. These include phytic acid, saponins, alkaloids, certain oligosaccharides, protease inhibitors, glucosinolates, tannins, and cyanogenic glycosides ( 2 , 3 ). ANfs are known to alter the absorption of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and proteins in addition to inhibiting enzyme activities.…”

“…ANfs are known to alter the absorption of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and proteins in addition to inhibiting enzyme activities. There are a plethora of studies that have proven the negative impact of ANFs on nutrient bioavailability in different living organisms ( 2 , 3 ). However, the deleterious effects of ANFs on nutrient metabolism vary according to age, species, concentration of ANFs, processing, and interactions with other nutrients.…”

“…A study based on controlled-case trials and epidemiological research reported that many ANFs available in lower concentrations have favorable effects for averting coronary diseases and various cancers [ Figure 2 ; ( 10 )]. For this reason, ANFs are often referred to as plant-bioactive or non-nutritive compounds ( 2 , 11 ). Many factors influence their activity, for instance, their chemical nature, amount present, and interrelationship with other dietary components.…”

Humans are constantly facing multiple health challenges from both communicable and non-communicable diseases that significantly affect their health. Additionally, drug resistance or failure has made the situation even worse and poses serious challenges for researchers to develop new drugs. Hence, to address these problems, there is an urgent need to discover and develop timely and long-term-based therapeutic treatments from different sources. One such approach is harnessing the potential of plant secondary metabolites. Plants have been utilized for therapeutic purposes in addition to being used for nutritional benefits. In the last two decades, plant-based drug developments have been one of the effective means of treating human diseases owing to their multiple functions. More recently, anti-nutritional factors (ANFs) have emerged as one of the important targets for novel plant-based drug development due to their multifaceted and potential pharmacological properties. However, their anti-nutritional properties have been the major setback for their limited success in the pharmacological sector. In this review, we provide an overview of ANFs and their beneficial roles in preventing human diseases with multiple case studies. We also highlight the recent developments and applications of ANFs in the food industry, agriculture, and pharmaceutics with future perspectives. Furthermore, we evaluate meta-analyses on ANFs from the last 30 years in relation to their function in human health benefits. This review is an endeavor to reevaluate the merit of these natural compounds and explore their potential for both human and animal health.

“…Forages used as feed for monogastric animals, particularly poultry, help to increase the sustainability of animal production in farming systems (Lüscher et al, 2014) Plants generate a wide range of anti-nutritional chemicals, many of which have been discovered and described. Polyphenols, cyanogenic glycosides, alkaloids, saponins, steroids, toxic proteins and amino acids, non-protein amino acids, phytohemagglutinins, triterpenes, and oxalic acid are the most prevalent main groupings that are either poisonous or anti-nutritive (Ali et al, 2022). Secondary compounds can have a significant impact on the nutritional content and feeding value of both temperate and tropical forages and these effects can be advantageous in certain cases while being harmful in others.…”

Grass constitutes the nutritional basis for most livestock, whether domesticated or wildlife. The present study evaluates the enhancement of the nutritional value of five different pasture grasses: Palisade grass (Urochloa brizantha), Biscuit grass (Paspalum vaginatum), Giant star grass (Cynodon plectostachyus), Goose grass (Eleusine indica), and Stubborn grass (Sida acuta) for use as animal feeds and xylanase production. The grasses received two different treatments: Autoclaving and solid state fermentation. Analysis carried out on untreated, autoclaved and solid state fermented grasses showed an increase in pH for all autoclaved grasses and solid state fermented grasses when compared to the control. The total flavonoid content was significantly improved in the solid state fermented grasses (116.7 ±1.4 μg/ml for palisade grass). There was a significant increase (p<0.05) in soluble protein content from 21.86 ± 1.7 to 44.06 ± 1.3 mg g -1 of palisade grass fermented with Rhizopus oligosporus. Similarly, there was a substantial rise (p < 0.05) in glucose concentration of solid state fermented biscuit grass (54.6 ± 3.3 mg g -1 ) when compared to the control (32.4±1.6 mg g -1 ). The total flavonoid content was improved in the solid state fermented (73.53 ± 0.35 μg/ml for biscuit grass) compared to the control (64.6±3.35μg/ml). Biscuit grass subjected to solid state fermentation was more potentially active (62.4±1.3μg/ml) when compared to the control (42.2 ± 0.9 μg/ml). For xylanase production, solid state fermented goose grass showed the highest enzymatic activity. These results indicate that solid state fermentation enhanced the nutritional value and antioxidant profile of grasses, which can also be used in livestock feeding and as a substrate for the production of xylanase.
