“…In comparison with processed chickpea, raw grains (100 g/kg; 22.9% CP as fed) gave the poorest results in terms of body weight gain and daily feed consumption (Christodoulou et al 2005). In the diet for young turkeys (1-70 days of age), raw chickpea seeds (22.9% CP on DM) up to 240 g/kg have been tested as a partial substitute to SBM (Ciurescu et al 2020). These authors did not report significant differences among experimental groups as far as the feed intake, FCR, carcase, breast, and legs yields, but the bodyweight gain resulted significantly increased up to 5.94 kg (vs. the value of 5.76 kg in the control group) in chickpea fed birds for 70 days.…”

“…0.1 g/kg), with promising results in terms of calcium and phosphorous digestibility (Reis de Souza et al 2017). Similarly, 0.2 g/kg diet of phytase added to chickpeacontaining diets for turkeys exerted some effects on the P and Fe plasma levels and resulted beneficial for the tibia mineralisation (Ciurescu et al 2020). However, the market price of chickpea, as well as that of lentils (Lens culinaris), is generally higher than the price of other grain feeds because it is mainly intended for human consumption.…”

The expected future demand for highly nutrient animal food products will push the animal production system to search for new sources of high-quality protein feedstuffs. In this scenario, economic and environmental issues will have to be considered while reducing the competition with the plant-based human food chains. Legume grains and some oilseed cakes, by-products from the oil industry, are the main protein sources for ruminants and terrestrial monogastrics such as pigs and poultry. Their relevant role will hold in the next decades, but it is necessary to increase the diversification of sources that can be grown profitably throughout the world, including European countries. Microalgae are a promising source of protein and other nutrients for animal feeding. However, an amazing richness of biologically active substances makes these organisms very interesting as feed ingredients, as their role go far beyond the supply of nutrients. Due to the limited usage of microalgae as human foodstuffs or food ingredients, low competition between microalgae-based feed and food chains is predictable. This review aims to synthesise current knowledge on minor pulses and other protein-rich plant products and microalgae, as alternative ingredients to the conventional animal protein sources, focussing on their production, availability, and nutritional values. Points of strength, weakness, opportunity and threat related to the use of these protein sources in animal feeding are separately analysed through a SWOT approach to underlie future needs in terms of research and/or technological development that could help valorise these nutrient sources as feed ingredients.

“…However, as presented in previous works, despite the fact that experimental diets were not adjusted to other nutrients, the diet type did not have a significant effect on chicken weights (2320 ± 125 g and 2404 ± 170 g for the SBM and CPS group, respectively; p = 0.279) or feed conversion ratio (1.93 ± 0.34 kg/kg and 1.88 ± 0.44 kg/kg, for the SBM and the CPS groups, respectively; p = 0.863) [12,13]. A very recent experiment also showed that inclusion of raw CPS through the whole rearing period does not influence body weight gain and feed conversion ratio in turkeys [37]. Similarly to our experiment, the diets used in that study also differed in crude fat and crude fiber content.…”

Simple Summary: A soybean meal, commonly used as a primary source of protein in animal diets, is often obtained from processing genetically modified soybean varieties. The tendency to reduce the use of feeds containing transgenic constituents increases the need for alternative sources of dietary protein. In this study, we fed broiler chickens diets containing either soybean meal or raw chickpea seeds. We examined the effect of such a substitution on broilers' subcutaneous fat tissue, which has numerous important physiological functions in chickens.Abstract: In this study, the effect of soybean meal substitution by raw chickpea seeds on the thermal properties and fatty acid profile of subcutaneous fat tissue of broiler chickens was examined. The experiment, performed on Ross 308 chickens, lasted for 42 days. Tight subcutaneous fat tissue was analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements while the fatty acid composition of subcutaneous adipose tissue was determined chromatographically. There was no effect of soybean meal substitution on fat crystallization temperature or crystallization enthalpy. However, the total calorimetric enthalpy of the melting of low-melting monounsaturated and saturated triacylglycerols differed between groups. Fatty acid proportions in the subcutaneous fat tissue of broiler chickens were also altered. Among others, chickpea seed inclusion decreased the content of main saturated acid (palmitic acid) and increased the content of main monounsaturated (oleic) and tri-unsaturated (linolenic) acids. The results show that the soybean meal substitution by raw chickpea seeds in the feed can affect the structural properties of adipose tissue in broiler chickens, including the thermal transformation of unsaturated fatty acids. Due to the numerous physiological functions of subcutaneous fat tissue, understanding these mechanisms can promote the use of alternative protein both in poultry and human nutrition.

“…Supplementation of phytase to poultry diets improved poultry immune systems and increased weight (Daniel et al 2018). Adding phytase to young turkey had beneficial effects on their growth performance and tibia mineralization but had no effects on the carcass traits (Ciurescu et al 2020). Phytase added to growing ducks significantly improved body weight gain and feed conversion ratio (Attia et al 2019).…”

Plant origin feeds contain some important nutrients that are not available to poultry due to their inability to analyze them and benefit from them. An experiment was fulfilled to study the performance of broiler chicken using supplemented diets with four levels of phytase enzyme 0.0 FTU/kg feed (T1), 500 FTU/kg feed (T2), 1000 FTU/kg feed (T3) and 1500 FTU/kg feed (T4). A completely randomized design (CRD) using four treatments, with three replicates each with 12 Ross 308 male chicks, was performed. Results indicated significant (P≤0.05) differences in feed intake (FI), body weight (BW) and feed conversion ratio (FCR). The highest feed consumption was recorded with (T1), where (T4) recorded the highest body weight and best FCR followed by (T3, T2 and T1) respectively. There were significant (P≤0.05) differences in carcasses, gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and the associated parts weights, and some GIT organs lengths. However, other parts including heads, necks, shanks and abdominal fat weights were non-significantly (P>0.05) different. There were no significant (P>0.05) differences in individual sensory evaluation attributes (taste, flavor, color and tenderness), but there were significant differences in overall sensory evaluation. There were no significant differences in the mortality rates among treatments. However, there were significant (P≤0.05) differences in the economics appraisal were (T4) recorded the least cost and the highest revenue. It reveals that using the (1500FTU/kg) level of phytase enzyme had performance parameters and economic appraisal. It could be concluded that supplementing broiler chicken diets with (1500FTU/kg) is good for production performance and returns.
