The poultry industry in developing countries is challenged by the high cost of conventional protein and energy feed ingredients. This problem has burdened researchers to use cheap and readily non-conventional feed ingredients such as tropical leaf meals (TLMs) to reduce the cost of feed. Tropical leaf meals are high in nutrients and important bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids and polyphenols. These important bioactive compounds in TLMs are responsible for their health promoting effects in animals. Research has shown that inclusion of moderate quantities of TLMs in livestock feed improves chicken performance and health. However, the inclusion of high levels of TLMs in poultry diets reduced chicken performance, which may be attributed to low palatability, high fibre content, poor digestibility, and the presence of antinational factors (ANFs) in TLMs. The potential of fermentation to enhance the nutrient content of feedstuffs high in fibre has been reported. Therefore, the objective of this research was to review the current knowledge on the effect of fermentation on nutritional and functional properties of TLMs and their feeding value on broiler chicken and laying hen performance.
